Recommended Read Steve Magness Article On Why Distance Runners Need A Coach Humans are famous for being bad at predicting their own behavior. “I strongly believe in having a coach. It’s not so much for the training, though that is important, it’s for the outside observation. I always say, a coaches job at the elite level is to hold the reigns. It’s not so much to motivate or poke and prod to get through a workout; instead it’s to prevent smart people from making dumb mistakes.”

LRC Questions Arise Regarding Alberto Salazar’s Explanation For Testosterone Experiment On His Sons – In 2006, Alberto Salazar Said The Idea That Gatlin Was Sabotaged Was “Preposterous On So Many Fronts” A key part of Alberto Salazar‘s defense is that he tested testosterone on his sons as he was fearful that someone like Chris Whetstine could sabotage Galen Rupp, not because he wanted to see how much micro-dosing one could get away with.
