Meh stop your godlike love of Canova. Yes, he has experience and yes he should know what he is doing, but remember that he is poaching the top runners from Africa and around the world. Ventolin is correct that science has improved a lot of coaching, but Canova is right that coaching is also an art.
Salazar has got many Americans now believing they can beat the Africans, and they often now do. Ten years ago, we would have never have believed that Rupp, Coburn, Jager, Simpson, Centrowitz and Flanagan could ever do the things they've done.
Canova is not 'poaching' top runners, Sondre Moen asked Renato to become his coach.
I'm not here to say who's the best coach but to learn.
Canova is not God but there's lots of wisdom in his posts and you should feel blessed to read detailed training plans and suggestions posted here instead of trying hard to discredit him.
Have Salazar ever cared to share his current method details here?
Fortunately, USADA has provided much information on Salazar's training methods.
