I've never understood Ribich. Every interview he seems down to earth but he also decided that his story was so unique and interesting that he needs to write a book and co-host a podcast with an Olympic medalist and former D1champ. I haven't read his book or listened to his podcast but to me he just seems like a guy who likes to run with some great results for a D2 guy but I don't see what is book-worthy about his story. Not trying to hate as he's got solid results, I just don't get it.
So you didn't read his book, but you don't see what's book-worthy?
His story is pretty unique.. not so much the pro part, but his going from a 4:14? 1500m kid for 15000 in a small OR HS, to running 3:37 in college is pretty impressive in my eyes.
I guess this is just what I figured without reading the book. He was a pretty good high school kid who wasn't good enough to go D1 but had success at the D2 level. Good for him but does that really need a book written about it?
Josh doesn't even train with them anyway. He lives in New Mexico and only runs with them when they come up to altitude train. Last year didn't go the way he wanted, but he still ran 3:48 indoors and 5th at World's in 3:30, doesn't seem like that warrants a coaching change just yet.
Just going to say it: Kerr needs to get back in the good spikes. Since Brooks took the Dragonfly away from him and made him wear their spike, he's been a little off. He ran 3:30 last year but I believe for certain that there's at least 1 second in those super spikes and that would have put him in the medals.
Oh no. It seems like Dave does really well in training and then underperforms in races. Probably a mental thing (it doesn’t sound like overtraining), so I don’t see how switching to a team that doesn’t meet consistently as a group is going to help. He may go for long periods of time without seeing Pete or having a training partner…that just sounds like a really bad fit for someone like him.
Per the most recent Sit & Kick (min 54ish) sounds like he was maybe going to Hoka NAZ (said earlier he was talking to teams in Flag and pulled out once a coach mentioned bringing a family member to be coached)and pulled out of talks with the team

Why did that scare Ribich away? It sounds like Ribich is too arrogant for his own good.
