Stop disclosing my training methods on a public forum. You signed an NDA when we started. This is BS. Now everyone knows about our Egyptian Quad Release (EQR) pre-hab that is likely the main reason you broke 4:10 last year. C’mon - do better.
I had my afternoon 8 mile tempo workout with “igloi intervals” sandwiched. This a stupid thing my coach puts in the middle where you have to do a 400m surge 10 times inside the tempo, with him calling out when. he was on bike next to me. by the 5th one I was getting irritated (just irritated with him in general). I made a quick random turn onto a trail and dropped him. He called me (I have iWatch) and I picked up and he was yelling. He pissed.
Okay i have no idea why a poster keeps imitating me. I'm the OP.
Coach called into his office today and asked if I wanted to try a new training plan. I said "Sure I'd be happy to" and told him i didn't think his current one was really working for me.
He said he'd have the new training plan for me by the end of the week but wanted me to warm up with by playing a game he likes to call "Sit on my lap and talk about the first thing that comes up".
I thought it was kinda wierd at first given he is my coach, but hey he is my coach and he knows best.
Ok, not firing him! My legs feel amazing today. Not sure what he did with that anaerobic injection, but it worked!
Now he says he wants me doing quad band activation before every run. That does sounds a bit fishy to me, so not sure about him again and will think it over.
I think you should fire your coach. You don't trust anything they tell you.
To the impostor poster who is pretending to be me and saying I sit on my coaches lap: 1. Stop it — 2. I would never get into a relationship with my coach. I respect the boundaries of the discipline (ie: SafeSport).
In terms of today, my coach showed up at my door this morning. He was telling me he was sorry and had a gift for me. He gave me a box that had knock-off NormaTec boots. I took the boots and told him I didn’t want to see him right now and to leave.
Did my double today solo. I was looking around to see if he was possibly shadowing me but didn’t see him so we’ll see.
I did his quad band activation before this afternoon 10 miler. It’s complete BS. Made my legs feel more tired. I texted my coach and let him know I need to see research based evidence before I am going to do the fringe crap he is asking for. Show me a research based paper on benefits of quad band activation before everyone run for marathoners doing 100mpw or I call BS.
Hey! This coach doesn't sound THAT bad. He/she/they are better than a non-Hogwarts wizard or a Canadian screenwriter I know....

Hi Everyone. Just wanted to give update that I fired my coach. I also reported him to SafeSport. He tried to bribe me not to with the NormaTec boots, but I’ve had enough. I let him know I will no longer take abuse of surprise workouts, fringe training methods, yelling at me between intervals, telling me he won’t race me unless I have an anaerobic body, etc.
I am now choosing a new coach with the finalists being Coach Dahl and Coach JS.

Go with Coach Dahl. Roald Dahl can definitely help you with your fiction writing.
I advice you to take contact with a magic coach who take you to your running dreams. The wizard JS is great. I asked him to coach my try to break the world record at 15 k road but unfortunatelly I got sick in pneumonia.
