A 32 year old suddenly starts running PR's 7 years after her last, and attributes it to changing coach, improving form and weight training. Shouldnt the board be all over this asking the obvious questions?

How dare you question Salazar! Off with your head!
Al does not wrong. Just fkoff buddy
short and easy: yes
Yes. If she wasn't born in the states and then later became a citizen, LRC would be throwing a big hissy fit right now.
I guess Al is a better coach than Cook?....well, maybe not...I kinda see your point!
Throw Ben True in there too. I like the guy, but bursting onto the scene at 30 is a little more than fashionably late.
so have they been to Dr Brown for the NOP SPECIAL SAUCE
or is that info in the public domain?
Ben True is 27. Not 30.
Moser used to be coached by JJ Clark for many years, and lived in Knoxville, training with that group JJ put together there. I know someone made a Cook reference above, but I'm not sure she was ever coached by Cook.
Restoring this thread. Not sure why it was deleted. It's a perfectly allowable discussion.
Moser was coached by JJ Clark
Then spent the last 3-4 years coached by John Cook.
So you're telling me that Salazar does a better job coaching then JJ during his prime years of coaching 800 beasts? I can kind of accept that.
but..
He does a much better job then Cook who has coached our best females to medals...Flanagan and Rowburry...yet he couldn't coach Moser?

Thank you letsrun
Changing coaches > Salazar > Big improvement ...
Why are there not a lot of questions being asked?
Because everyone already knows the answers.

Yes, when someone comes out of nowhere, never having won any titles etc. suddenly runs like this. Oh, wait...[who was the last one to legitimately win three straight -- Decker?] [PRs are misleading, she was not seven years between good results or titles.

And Will Leer (age 28). True and Leer are somewhat suspcious to me because they train "alone."
If you run close to 2 flat for seven years straight you aren't out of nowhere; with 2 flat, you're already one of the best in the US and you'd be an Olympian in roughly 195 countries.
She should be running close to 4 flat if she takes the 1500 seriously and has someone getting her into the best fields. If you run near 4 flat and get into a remotely decent 5000m, you should be low 15's.
Not very surprising to me. Felt like she should have always run a faster 1500.
What has she done that's so incredible...she doesn't have a performance on the world top-10 list; she has not won a national, WC, Olympic or DL title. She in not an athlete without a pedigree; she has basically gotten back to where she once was. If she is on drugs, she needs to get a better prescription. In terms of age, there are several women who are older and have run faster this year. She is having a good season, but she has not done anything so great that good training and coaching can't account for.
What I find more interesting than why she is running well, but what caused her decline.
Ummm... ever heard of Bernard Lagat?
