Strava pushing TINMAN training in mass email to all users

Training Advice/Discussion General

5 years ago 12/14/2018 11:33pm EST

Check out the blog post below that was emailed to all strava users today. It's by two coaches who are basically parroting Tinman's principles, even using his term "critical velocity" , though they do not credit him/mention him.

I must say, these principles make an awful lot of sense. I wish I would have known about training like this before I started running for a D1 program with a "grind them into dust, everyone underachieves" coach.

That is an interesting idea.

e.g.

1) "Everyone is crushed/turned to dust . . . and . . . becomes an underchiever in running and spelling at the same time":

3) Is Mr. Kellogg a soggy ???

4) Answer:

5) Yes, for sure.

Tinman didn’t invent critical velocity.

He borrowed the idea from researchers and cycling. He just pushed it hard to make it his thing.

Listen, the Roches are poser coaches. Just doing what Millennials do and taking advantage of sheep. David is the king of over-training and racing like crap in big events. His wife is the real deal, running at Duke and working hard. He does not have original thoughts because he has a very limited running background. He was a baseball player in high school and college, not a runner.
