To veryslowrunner.

That is why I stop talking about my log book of training.I will mess-up alot of people.I remember when I was coaching high school,the school head coach told me to understand who I was dealing with is kids and their different life style.I had to control my-self talking about my training.How I did it when I was in WSU and what I'm doing now.

WSU coach told me if you are running 18 mile + hills per day, please say you are runing 6 miles + hills by saying that, it makes alot of sense to people in the USA.That is why we never allowed a reporter to step on our compus.They might report our training lesson plan.

Kenyans in WSU were coach differently than American runners and my coach in WSU reporter never like him.

"How come you never coach American kids to do what Henry Rono do?," they asked.

Now I'm thinking and going long way back the significant fruits of running success and why it became so productive.The coach told me ,if you keep explaining your training no one wants to hear it, unless it fits well with their running feelings.

To TLFKAS,

I didn't know there was a guy by the name, Gerry Lingren,until coach Chaplin was telling the reporters saying that don't look at Henry and Samson are the only guys comes here to brake world records, we had Gerry Lingren who broke the 5k say Coach Chaplin.Later I heard Gerry was under Coach Mooberry.Chaplin never Claim that he is a good coach, he only refers himself as a good recruiter.if you want a good coach is Bill Dillenger who coaches salazar up in U fo O.

Every time parents meets him on a hall-way,he talks to them about the exellency of academics about their kids nothing about running,but comes to us.

"How many miles did you do today?" ask Coach chaplin.Coach Chaplin always have hard time explaining things about our running VS American athletes,he always uneasy of himself and very sensitive to talk about it,making it look like there's something secrect in his coaching.Soon, later I discovered that, he is scared of being suit by the athletes' parents.Because He couldn't talk with them the way he could talk to Kenyan runners.

Henry

To sit ups for running.

I'm not supposed to answer about my training,but because of my sincerity, I will answer this one.Doing sit-ups is my individualized program that fits Henry Rono due to his problem of beer belly.That carrys 35lbs.I'm trying to kill some dirt that are sits right in my back and the opposite direction younging underneath my belly takes away those junk fatty icids brings back the new Henry Rono and my breathing lungs will have extra room for air.And you have a new kid in running.How is that sound?

Am i make sense please edit to make sense to you.

To Malmo,

Malmo wrote:What Henry is alluding to is not a sponsorship by the usual definition. I know a guy (Hodgie-san knows him as well) who has a boutique shoe company, he makes and markets martial arts shoes. When he heard about the "Summer of Rono" he offered to make a few pairs of trainers for him. They would be labeled "RonoRun," custom made for Henry and only Henry.

There is no "sponsorship" in the payola sense, just an offer to help the good cause from guys who like to run and feel the wind in their faces.

Malmo, tickles me to dead when he says,

"just an offere to help the cause from guys who like to run and feel the wind in their faces."

I will be running next week a mile over here in Akbuquerque,NM. a mile after six weeks of intensive training. I hope I will have no feeling burning fires in the joints and hips.I would like to run and feel the wind in my face as Malmo says with the right shoe in the feet.

Henry

To older than mud.

(qote)"What's the right shoe on the feet....for you?"

The "RonoRun" is the right shoe on the feet....for me.

Henry

Henry asksed a series of questions, meant to stimulate a deeper consideration of the critical factors at work in the development of running ability. Some of those questions were:

How does a coach speak to athletes?

Where does running form originate from?

What pushes an athlete on to higher levels of performance, despite difficulties encountered along the way

To oldSchooler,

Stay tune, I will be back. I will update my training. Today is 39 day of training,phase II. This evening, I will give you all work-out.Let us stay on top of things and go from there.....

You looked great working out yesterdy Henry. I will leave specifics of your session out. But I must comment at least in part. Reguardless of how you felt, to the onlooker, you look effortless and it's only going to get better. See you in the hills!!!!

rh

To UO,

It is nice of you to say that thank you Ray. Are you kidding me!I was dying my left knee was hurting soo bad. Did you see that I was limbing?You guys ran effortless,not the old-man I try to keep with my group and I only try twice,after that I call it a day.I didn't have joint lubricates,and the hips extention resistancy.I was breathing so hard trying and gasping the air unlike twenty eight years ago.I used to have extra oxen or air in the lungs. nowdays no more.

I will be there tomorrow,I hope it will be better.

Henry

Henry -

Many people care about you. I think it is not just because you were a world record holder. It has to do with the fact that you express yourself in a very genuine way. You also have some wisdom to share - much of it from years of experience - which gives us something to learn from. Their tidbits of truth in each line you type.

The triumphs you had were great, no doubt about it, but overcoming the hard times - when you life seemed to knock you down - inspires us just as much. Heros are more than champions in sports arena. They are people like you who give all they can, fight the good fight, and hold their heads high in the face of adversity.

We are proud of you! Tinman

yes henry, tinman is right. your sincerity and willingness to be real have won our respect and affection perhaps more than your glorious career did. we admire both the past and the present. your current goal and journey are well worth the work.

Please take care of yourself and know you have inspired and currently inspire many of us.

Somehow I missed whatever explosion took place yesterday on this thread. What happened? Glad there's a Part II.

Stay the course, Henry. Everyone is rooting for you.

Wejo had a database problem. About half of the thread was lost.

Now that we know that these great posts can be lost, I hope some of you are making hard copies of your favorite threads. I suggest that in the future, Henry makes a copy of each page as it is completed.

I hope someone has a copy of the Coach Mihaly Igloi thread. I believe that I have some of it.

Did anyone have a copy of the posts between 7/1 and 7/11 ?

You should be able to copy the file and paste it into a new message?

What was this workout Henry? I know you'll be in shape in time, what do you weigh now? what did you start your training at?

I don't have it because I didn't look at that thread for almost 2 weeks, but anyone who has "Google Desktop" has a cache of every page they viewed in their computer.

Just Google "Henry Rono training for masters mile record" :)

To Tinman,

Tinman,gives me a great motivation and many others as I go a long the thread.Yes!I would like to talk about my running now and the past. I want you to come a long with me;however,the distructiveness I'm facing online is similar to what I went through during my running era. My running management was scruit-up.I couldn't run this meet or that meet because of this and that.And I was in hot shape, so I stop running. If you saw my last thread on page 25 or so, you will know what I'm talking about.

I'm in good spirit I want to share with you.Is someone is going to be on the way?

Is this going to be similar frustrations on letsrun.com as what happen in the past, I ask?

I want to thank you Tinman have a nice day.

Henry

It was just a database problem, an accident. We love to hear from you!

Henry, why can't you post training specifics? Why will they get deleted?

To go ducks,

I just finish the 40 day of training.It is coming easier now,I did the weight knees caps training until I felt the feeling burning fires,calves were burning the same feelings,I was concentrating on two specifics areas.It made my body strong,I could walk up stairs easy.Sitting in sauna for twenty minutes,and do sit ups upto 1200 the body becoming flexable I can handle it and I am gaining more height from the ground,which means I'm standing on my toes.That is what I needed for the interval-work-out strength.Tomorrow.Once the angles are strong then I'am able to handle speed work and the progress of it.

I hope no deletion today,until I ask you questions,perhaps then there is deletion.By ask you questions is another way to teach you about running right! because you also ask question right?

Henry

Henry,

Questions are good - keep them coming. Tinman

To Dwight Stones,

Are you the real! Dwight Stones The USA Track& Field high jumper?

If you are do you remember I was with in Florence,Italy 1981? The name sound the same.
