2:19 on 70-80 miles per week.

Who cares whether it's JS or not?? He's eccentric and has a sense of humour that might grate but he's helping someone towards something positive.

Good luck Phil, hope you crush it!

I hope you'll be happy with the race.

You can run with confidence that you had a great preparation.

This is JS, check out the time it's 8am his time. My bet is if you watch the Let's Run boards, he goes quite but at about 8am his time and throughout the day he does stuff to pump his name.Dont take my word, check it out.

I give my Word of honor that was not me! Even if it was my time of the day 7 hours before America,USA. :)Have a good day out there! Cheers!

I`m curious of you "tomato de la tron" :) …..I have a feeling out from another post you did some time ago that you are a famous coach ?

Phil did his last "check up" pace before CIM on Sunday.

8 x 400m at 70-73 sec and short rest back to 120 bpm 30-45 sec …...He told it felt so easy in his 4% shoes! He even told it will be difficult for him to run as slow as 79-80 sec / 400m in the race at predicted pace.))))

- The Wizard -

Hey Phil - what shoes will you be wearing on Sunday? Good luck.

Vaporfly Next% Size 14. That is a lot of foam :)

Success Phil! This thread has helped me tremendously in becoming more consistent in my training,

combining 45-50 mile a week with a family with three kids, and 50 hours of work a week.

Even though I am not following the JS schedule [I do one LT session a week, and sometimes finish my long runs

in LT pace, but I am not doing 400s every week. I am mixing that with hill strides and tempo run, depending on

time/weather/etc] I think his ideas make some sense, and I enjoy his posts a lot. Like the bible, I do not take everything literally.

What you have sharpened there ? He was running million miles before you helped him "in 2.5 months" ===)))

That's not your magic system. These people are kenyans and very talented, they were running from 4-5 years old tons of

miles and were showing great results several years ago without your "magic training".

PS: If somebody ran 28 min 10 k with hard training in 2013 and ran 29-30 min without any training and you HELP him to

run his OLD PB-s - that doesn't mean you have a great program, that means they were running these times and just got

they shape back and doesn't matter who helped them.

But you will repeat that 100 years in a row, console yourself with these great results, but they've done without you.

Good luck, Phil.

Sorry for baby rage :)

Thanks for this, you made my day. Someone is finally telling the truth. I don't think anyone, include myself wishes Phill a bad race. He is traveling, probably paying his own way, and worked had, and made personal sacrifices, BUT THIS AZz ? JS is a joke, fraud, and a lier, and l hope he is exposed. There is no magic in a stupid workout program of a million x 400 s on Tuesday, and a million x 1k or whatever or Thursday, and YEAR AROUND, and basically for all runners all distances.No one can see they are major flaws in his system or lack of system?????The biggest crime is taking credit for being a Wizard of some sort. Thank you for your post.

Here is a recent podcast with Dr. Seiler where he talks about polarized training and the importance of running relaxed, low intensity and large volume.

Specifically from around 26.30 to 32 mins or so, he talks about the danger of cutting mileage down and increasing intensity over a prolonged period of training and how and why it causes overtraining. He has a lot of evidence to back up this up in various fields of endurance events (running, cycling, rowing, xc skiing).

It's these types of research and studies that make me very skeptical of the training JS is promoting. That said, I am also aware of outliers (maybe Phil is?) and understanding of simply not having more time to commit to training due to 'life.'

I do really root for Phil and hope he has a fantastic race!! And I also understand how much of an impact proper motivation can make, which is what JS seems to have give Phil. In any case, i thought this thread was very interesting and I'm looking forward to CIM.

Cheers,

In a couple of years, I will be proud that once I was mistaken for that famous Swedish coach.

The famous; naw just the troll of Let's Run.

Spot on! JS is a glorified cheerleader. Nothing more.

On a positive note:

GOOD LUCK PHIL

Yeah, Let's go Phil!

Seriously, there's only a couple days left until the race. Save some of the nitpicking/arguing/callingout/etc. until after the race.

You didn`t understand.....as always ;) I have never said Victor wasn`t a good runner before my coaching 2016 and just 2½ month , and he ran faster than ever after 4 years at the marathon......and after my coaching and the win in Valencia at 2:07:39 he just became worse.....That`s what I call real sharpening up a runner in short time!

And when you give Elisha as an example he had done marathon 2:13:46 as PB in 2016 in May that year and he wrote to me and asked how to do to run 2:09 . I coached him from start of August to the race in Nice -Cannes at 13 November and he won easy and ran his up to then PB of 2:10:45 . If that`s not a real sharpening up in just 3 months then I don`t know what you have as references for a sharpening up???

- Don`t you see? It´s like magic! ))) -

Dr Seiler is just a scientist. Not a world class coach! A big difference.And he also tells the importance of

running intensive work at 90% of MHR. The great thing with JS system is that he combines enough of the intensive work with the enough aerobic work necessary to get optimal result on just low mileage .

Today an easy jog of 50 min outside and 6.7 miles ( 7:27 mile pace ) by Phil. The man is ready to perform! :)

This ? knows nothing. Many on the thread have called him out, even the Kenyans are calling him out.
