Cranny to Team Boss

Dude steals this info from Fast Women and doesn't even have the balls to shout them out. How lame!

Average coach with extraordinary talent in his hands.

Really the only choices she had were Boss and Mike Smith, in terms of equal clubs that don't depend on shoe contract. Probably just wants to go home. Hope she can keep making teams, maybe she can drag Infeld to another Olympic berth.

I assume Emma hangs up the spikes after Paris.

Maybe she left because of McGorty? Looks like he’s dating Hannah Steelman now.

Ha. I said in the thread about her leaving BTC that she might follow Fraser since they are BFFs but she seemed a little out of their league. Still think that but hopefully goes well for her.

She might not make Paris.

equal clubs? Maybe. Equal coaches? I don’t agree. Mike Smith is the best coach in the country. Bosshard is fine.

Remember who was consistently beating Cranny her senior year in college? Dani Jones! One of my favorite athletes, and I feel like Joe has failed to develop her (and many other) of his athletes. Wish Cranny could go train with Monson.

There's a whole world of great coaches available. The best US coaches are too busy sliding into High School athlete's DMs to coach adults.

DJ stagnated a little bit for a couple years there . . . but has set all her prs while with JB . . .

and . . . she finally broke her 4:04/1500 pr from two years ago with her 8th place 4:01 in China at the beginning of September.

So . . . fantastic opportunity for Elise to finally get to train as a 1500/5k gal vs. 5k/10k under JS . . . and will have Dani & Cory to pull/push her along . . .

BTW . . . with Grace, Infeld, Fraser, Cranny . . . Team BOSS's subtitle should be the BTC Alumni Club . . .

Well I would hope all her PRs were with Bosshard considering he’s her only pro coach. She did have some PRs this year. That’s nice. However, PR or no PR, Wetmore had her a lot more ready to win races and compete than Joe has.

Cranny would be a great 1500/5000 competitor, and perhaps she will be now as she has long wanted, but her main and best event is the 5000. Is there a single athlete on Team Boss that can train with her in the longer stuff? Is she going to have to rely on Nick Harris or something?

I think more than Jerry’s coaching (which has good and bad aspects), the success of Bowerman was having all the big fish in one place. Now that it’s gone I’m not sure we will see the kind of results we had with BTC.

I agree. It is hilarious when everyone ignores this fact. I do not think that he is a great coach.

What happened with a special ed kid?

The scoop on training details? Jerry’s training isn’t a secret among professionals. Big thresholds from MP to 10k pace but in singles. 65-72 minutes plus a 35 minute double on the easy days. Lots of hills. Occasionally a max speed day and goal race pace on short rest as you approach competition period.

I see this about a more mature athlete choosing her own destiny. She’s been through a few championship cycles and probably feels she has a strong sense of what works for her. Doesn’t need a big-name coach to tell her what to do. Just looking for the right environment to execute the plan. She believes this is what gives her that opportunity.

She was running on Niwot high school track during school hours and stiff armed a special ed kid down. They buried it and no repercussions because of her name.

Looks like my next goal is to get out to Colorado for some pacing #TeamBoss

If true, this story needs to be told.

To think this started because they didn’t want to pay the percentage Wetmore wanted. I wonder what they charge their runners for coaching and pseudo physio duties.

How many people do you think were on Bowerman 18-24months ago?

Wouldn't that be unethical, if not illegal?

Tinman did this crap too. And let's not forget Chad Noel's stunt around the dog and yelling at the HS track kids. None of the pro's are penalized for their poor behavior at Niwot it seems.
