We must run in different circles. I've yet to meet a non-MTC athlete who is a fan (and even amongst MTC it's a mixed bag)

WHY IS EVERYONE HATING ON RAMSDEN??? He didn't punch anyone in the face. Out in Wa he coaches his own group and he has helped guys like Ky Hehir qualify for world cross country champs and has coached him to a 14.28 5k, 8.04 3k and a 3.46 1500m. Great bloke and the way he celebrate is his expression. Josh Kerrs celebration was worse and he carried on about it like in the press conference and trash talking Jakob.

We need to get Ramsden to punch Jakob. Ramsden is much less annoying then any of the ingebrigstens.
Re. Kerr. When you're world champ you get some flog-rights.
If Rambo ever does anything of note on the international stage I'll eat my hat.
Side-note. Rambo + Tobin White on a podcast would be a wild bad ride. Flogged Up.

1. Because of who he is as a person
2. Well established that yes he did
3. Virtually guarantee his group is just getting the same workouts he gets from Nic - the same as what Brett does with Pulse ("Todays session is 8x 1km everybody!")

+1. Your point 3.
"Hi I'm running 30km a week, shooting for a sub 5 hour marathon"
Pulse- Ok 8x1km on a Tuesday, and 4 x 5km this Sunday.
Obviously there are times during the year where this can happen, especially if you aren't in a build for a race and just doing some week to week consistency, but as someone who is currently coached by Brett my experience is not this at all, and have spoken to many others who are also coached at Pulse who get tailored programs, feedback and changes as needed rather than a cookie cutter approach like this
At $200 per month for a running program, I'd want a more personalised approach. Especially given Ramsden is away so much.

$200 OZ =$128 U.S. dollars, £106 British.
Mekhissi, the former French steeple star was more aggressive than Ramsden.
If Ramsden were an OZ rules player, or rugby guy, his behaviour probably wouldn't even raise eyebrows.... Track runners held to a higher moral level?

If Ramsden was a rugby player he would get knocked the F out. Don’t think he could cash the cheques his mouth wrote.

Who wants to tell him?
Can someone please just tell us who he allegedly punched??

If you ever visit London go visit big BEN and BUCKINGHAM palace.
I can assure you many of the sessions that the group does that he coaches don't just do 8x1k. From the posts on Strava they probably do that a couple times a year. There track sessions are really unique and kinda weird like for example they did 5x800(60 rest), 5x600(200 jog), 3x400(60 rest)
Ok how do you know that he punched Ben buckingham. Anyone have any proof.

Also, something is either unique or it is not unique. There is no such thing as "really unique".
If you are an Aussie, you are giving the good Aussie education system a bad name!!!
In any event, back to school for you.
Yeah I agree, Ramsden and the whole little group are the most introllerable bunch of blokes in the state and potentially country.
And he called a competitor a fa**ot
Just heard on FTK (a little hate-listen) about how funny it was that when Rambo yelled 'F#&^-yeah!!' after winning the 5,000 title that it was right at an 11yr old girl. Cooooool.
