Before I clicked on this thread I thought "Jealous coach trying to bring them down."
Then I see the author "Alistair Coaching Genius" and it confirmed my initial thought.
Perhaps they're still enjoying their win at the US Olympic Marathon Trials :) Running is a tough sport. Athletes get injured. I wouldn't evaluated someone's coaching genius on what's happening in May or even off of 1 season.
When the whole Chad Noelle thing broke I was looking through old Kaela Edwards posts and this one stuck out in my mind. The picture was at Worlds last year, and there is healthy fit and then there is, in my opinion, a level you reach that isn't sustainable. It's not a surprise that Rogers is not on the track.
Did you find anything at all going through her garbage or any observations from her shrubbery?
Ok Boomer.
Because, yeah, going to look at posts someone intentionally put there for people to look at and comment on is exactly the same as going through someone's garbage and hiding in their shrubbery.
Cute comment, you got some "likes."
Maybe you do understand how social media works after all.
Natosha was signed by NB coming out of college and injured every 3 months. She could not string any serious training together. Eventually dropped by NB. Struggled for 2 years on her own with injuries and quit the sport for a year. Hansons took a chance on her and she was NEVER hurt for her 3 years at Hansons and looked great. Signed a bigger deal at Puma and appears to be back on the injury train.
Isai was great last track season and looked like a star last summer before signing with Puma and has been a disaster ever since.
Taylor Werner left Arkansas with eligibility on the table and has struggled with Puma. Should have stayed with Lance Harter at the time for more development.
All 3 of these athletes were in thriving situations but chased the dollar and will all end up watching Paris rather than participating.
None of these 3 were slated to make an olympic team coming out of college. Handfuls of athletes will be on the couch who wanted otherwise. Rogers made world's in TWO events last year, but you failed to mention that. Why? They had O'Keefe WIN the Olympic marathon trials in her debut over the AR holder. Dever and Kemboi beat the BTC athletes in a 5k earlier this year dipping under the world standard running 13:04. Tiernan went 2:07:45 in Houston this year, faster than any American in this last olympic cycle. You're nit picking to prove your points. They don't have a 100% success rate, but they have developed talent. The injury rate in this group is on par with most groups that have coaches who are trying to get their athletes from good to great. There's a price sometimes.

I’ll take this as a compliment. Keep up the good investigative work.😆

No one is jealous that Pascal learned how to cheat while training in Kenya wi the Kenyans. Pascal is master mind and it will show and break like he did to the for BTC runners / Shelby
Yes she signed a small deal with Brooks when Adidas dropped her for being slow. She went to the bad stuff to run fast and did well with Brooks and then signed with Nike and her and Shalane went one and two in the super shoes before anyone could wear them at the 2012 OT’s. They had prototypes / Super Shoes. Super Shoes and bad stuff makes fast times.
She also hooked up with her teammates boyfriend at Mammoth TC who ironically she ends up marrying. Terrance kicked them off the team for the obvious.
Like the previous post said Amy is a bad person and it makes sense why her and Pascal get along so well.

Rogers was top 3 at the trials in college, so it wasn't any post-collegiate training that made her a contender. O'Keefe was also a multiple all-american and big time recruit in college. Pat Tiernan was NCAA champion. Their roster is full of people with pretty big credentials, they should be doing good things. Their team has a very large budget from Puma. Minnesota Distance Elite has a tiny budget, and produced Dakotah Lindwurm to become an Olympian and Annie Frisbie who is arguably the exact same caliber athlete and both are with Puma. They also developed a 9:30 high school 3200m runner Joel Reichow to be a 2:10 marathoner, and a couple other 2:12 guys. In one year brought Tanner Meyer (maybe bad spelling) from a 3:46 1500m runner to 3:37 this year. Imagine what that group could do if they were getting NCAA contending athletes out of college instead of relative no-names. Puma should throw their money at that team, they already have two of Minnesota's athlete under contract and no one else on the team has a contract as far as I know.

Is there anything to this? What’s the background here?

OK then, how about we also consider how this Olympics went down, given what we now know about all involved?
