Does anyone know what kind of training he provides to Ritz ? I haven't heard much from what they do different, even Teg mentioned in his interview that this year it's his first year his training like a professional runner, you guys know what he's doing different with his running ?
bump, what's high intensity high training ??
wow that was quick I give a brief overview of why someone would train with an Altitude tent and the post gets deleted?
Yup I'm not impressed, whoever keeps removing these posts isn't very bright, there is a lot of treads/posts that should be deleted instead of taking the time deleting these ones.

You know, it's amazing what training year in and out for athletes can result in record breaking performances. That being said, why can't the exclusive use of altitude tents coupled with proven training techniques and all the support Nike can provide allow you to mentally and physically develop into a world class competitor with world class times?
Insinuation of HGH is purely what it is...insinuation. Give us proof and you can bitch! You're a punk cause you think US runners could never run with the Africans. Well, guess what! It's happening! It will continue to happen now! The flood gates have opened and the reality check has finally hit home.
You are an idiot to the third degree
See what happens when you only get partial info.... if you had read this whole thread without deletion, I never once accused or implied HGH use by this training group in fact it was just the opposite, then I briefly explained in laymans terms or like I was explaining it to a 3rd grader the benefits of an altitude tent on an athletes recovery and oxygen debt, then the posts were deleted.....So who's the punk ass insinuating biotch now????
The podcast that running times puts out has an interview with him, he only talks about his long run, but he goes into detain about he often spends half of it going 5 min per mile.
I didnt even read the thread without deletions, just the posts talking about them. It really wasnt that hard to tell you were kidding
Some actual information:
Salazar, a winner of the New York and Boston marathons, has been coaching Ritzenhein for just three months. In April, after finishing 11th in the London Marathon in a personal-best 2:10:00, Ritzenhein decided to leave coach Brad Hudson, whose training group was in Eugene, Ore. By June, Ritzenhein left Eugene for Portland and Salazar's group.
"No doubt about it, Brad Hudson deserves a lot of the credit for this, the majority of credit," said Salazar. "He'd gotten him in great shape from all the marathon training, very aerobically fit."
Salazar, whose training group also includes current NCAA and U.S. 10K champ Galen Rupp, immediately gave Ritzenhein a dose of speed training.
"We were very careful because if you give someone too much stuff too fast, you can hurt them," Salazar said. "We were very careful in bringing him into the workouts Galen was doing. They wouldn't always run together.
"He ran workouts like he'd never done before, showed speed he never showed before. Looking back he literally has not had a bad workout. He's hit every single workout the last three months."
We know that there is the altitude tent, mileage for Rupp at least has not been particularly high, but there has been a definite commitment to speed training, including Rupp's 3:39 and the 800, and Ritz apparently doing speed training he had never done before.
It looks to me like Ritz finally has a coach that has him training properly.
sorry bro I hit the wrong button and replied to your post instead of PEDrnr....so you wasn't the punk ass insinuating biotch:)...
