Eyestone is really good at coaching. I know his college team has some advantages/ disadvantages but I do find it interesting that he and Mike Smith pretty much out performed all of the pro groups in the US with pros being their side gig.
His marathon training works. Would have been nice to see someone like Scott Fauble train with them (never happen with the Portland BYU rivalry).
Established athletes changing coaches late in their career never works. The old saying DANCE WITH THE ONE THAT BROUGHT YOU means more than a struggling athlete ever recognizes. Scott Rascko has made her what she is. Her success story has been remarkable. After 8 years away from the sport she returns to become an American record holder. Now that she has had a rough year she needs a change? I personally hate the lack of loyalty and will always look at her differently. What about her current teammate that has been a loyal training partner?
The Richmond, VA climate is sub-optimal for distance training at an elite level - it's at sea-level, mostly warm to hot and very humid from mid-Spring to mid-Autumn.
