Awesome dude, you can run as fast as him after surgery, you're so great. Why don't you list all your PRs, thats cool. Do you know any famous people and would you like to name drop? Thailand should get rid of internet.

First of all, that post above was NOT from Renato. I do know Renato, and I have talked with him in person about training. He's a great man, like a great college professor, very kind, caring and academic. I don't know if he'd coach you or not, since he's extremely busy, but if you found him at a road race or track meet, I am sure that he'd talk to you.
Second, yes 3:07 is not "semi-pro" but it is an honorable time for a marathon. I can tell you that I am almost as proud of my slowest time in the marathon (3:09 in Paris 2007) as my fastest time (2:18 in Berlin 2002). Why? Because I finished the race 9 weeks after achilles surgery. The day before the race I thought that I would jog to 15km and drop.
Third, Mr. Canova has posted extensively on letsrun and via his postings, emails and talking with him in person, he has greatly influenced my own training. I suggest that you just read his posts on here and then adapt the basic philosophies of periodization and specificity of training to your situation.

I respect and admire people running at their best, also if their absolute value is not very high. So, because of my passion for athletics, if I have the opportunity to meet some amateur that wants to speak with me, I never refuse.
However, my activity is completely different. Since I never looked at money in this profession, that remains my first passion, I'm fully involved in training many athletes that are able to have a top professional activity.
For that reason, I don't have time and interest in following in professional way the big number of amaterur asking for a program.
In any case, I think that to have a coach is better than to train alone, following some schedule by internet made without any direct knowledge of the final user.
And in US there are many good coaches able to advise the right way for improving... till a certain level, that is the level the most part of amateurs can reach.
Thanks a lot Renato
Could you reccomend me a good coach? Maybe Alberto Salazar?
Well technically he did...

Kind and caring. Something you are not. You talk rubbish most of the time.
so does Canova when it comes whether EPO is a performance enhancing drug or not.

Because you're an expert in drug use, or because you don't know anything else.
