"I would like to be clear: there is absolutely nothing magical about running 100 miles a week.
It is simply a lot of running. That is it. "

Oh really? I thought one 100 mile week would turn me immediately into a 2:12 marathoner. Guess I will not run that much now.
Wonder how many 100 mile weeks JMar Superstar has put in himself?
Guys, don't forget that it is 2019.
We just got a very important reminder:
Oops, meant to post this one. I don't want you all to forget the year.

"worryingly"? "miles ran"?
Keep a dairy, folks! After all, calcium is very important for runners.
We have an all-timer, folks.
look at all of his replies. They're GIFs!!!!
He can't even have a healthy, informative debate on twitter.
What a child.
Athletes actually pay this guy to be their coach? Are you kidding me? He is a fool.
I love when Magness and Marcus criticize coaches who are on social media too much. All-time hilarious hypocritical behavior by two guys who so desperately want to be relevant and are unable to do with their coaching abilities.
Don't worry everyone, he only has two more years of coaching left fortunately:

It's the hypocrisy that's tough to handle.
"I am so willing to mentor. I am so willing to help. We all need to help more."
And then he goes and puts together a tweet reply stream like that.
Come on man. Be that way, that' fine, but don't act like you're being an asset to the coaching community.
Thank god HPW is back up. The long awaited return is really coming in hot.

This. 1000%. At least walk the talk.
I used to like the guy, but I can’t justify it anymore. The guy just loves sounding high minded. What exactly makes this guy a good coach?

Umm, how about the amazing results from his athletes? He built an Adams State level program from nothing at Portland State, he's on Joe Vigil's level. Then what he's done with post-collegiates has attracted a stable and sponsorship to rival Bowerman & NOP.
Seriously, he seems like an incredibly typical Columbia grad crossed with an incredibly typical Portland guy. Which is exactly what he is.

Thank God for self-fulfilling prophecies.
Really is giving the people what they want again. With zero content.
Hey, how is he supposed to manage the website between coaching and reading 6+ hours a day. Didn’t you hear he’s already read 53 books so far this year?
Whole lotta talk outta this dude, not much walk at all.

An apple is an apple. It is not a banana.
Please stop confusing the two.
