Didn't Tim Noakes publish this in the first edition of The Lore of Running?
Whenever someone talks about working on their form, i tell them to watch a video of Kim Smith who set a bunch of national records in NZ.
Eyeing up the situation I resolve to the fact that there is still a multi-million dollar indoor facility too fancy to be just a standstill component of the rec department.
There will be indoor track again at the U.
My theory is that the athletic department's intent is to challenge the sport to individually rally and become more sustainable on its own.
For example it cost the U $200K per year to keep Gary Wilson and Plasencia not including other staff which-- without attacking either their credibility or self worth -- is plainly too much for what the job actually is. It might be extra cush due to the three sport aspect and indoor was a 2/3 compromise.
Also consider the U provides Hockey at different levels than most other schools. Those funds have to be allocated for too.
Last, consider the costs of the running programs themselves. It takes approximately $6400 per week to send Sally and her three best friend relay roomates out to all inclusive Spring Break and Summer vacations during the track season. Sometimes the entire team goes and the amounts of money are through the roof.
No doubt these are valuable experiences for young women but after the meet there is little value to the results.
There is no known "correct" running form, and any attempt to adjust a runners form is based on pure speculation. I'm 100% certain that Alberto knows nothing about any aspect of running and that his whole stables basically a massive doping operation. He's a scumbag.
