Just being real. THis has become idolization over reality. Sirpoc, please post your Strava data prior to July 2023 so we can learn from your progression after implementing NSM.
I still don't think he was stuck at 19 minutes. I think he wasn't raining consistently and ran 19 minutes. Big difference and I just want to see his data so I know what to expect.
Hey if you don't want more actual data that would help us all see his "actual" progression then up to you. If he was training 4 hours a week and running 19 vs now training 8 and running 15:+, wouldn't this help us all make better judgements.
Sirpoc is under no obligation. He already has covered this. He simply didn't bother uploading to Strava a lot of the time, because he had no followers. Maybe he will go back, maybe he won't it's spotty but there's enough on there. Same with his cycling training. It would be nice just to see day to day, but who is going to make him seriously go and plug a Garmin 520 in and force upload? He's done more than enough for everyone hear 10 times over. For running he bought a Daniel's book. Which he is very complimentary of. So we pretty much know how he trained anyway. We are all familiar I would guess with how that training looks.
For instance. We can see that from a November from running for most of the year, he ran a 19:20 parkrun. Remember, he ran the same course every time. The following July he ran 18:59. By October that year , so almost 12 months, he ran 18:55. That's less than 30 seconds improved, in almost a year and there are around 5-6 races in the space of 5 months all around 18:5x. This is all available also on power of 10. I know, because I'm a geek and I checked all of this out before.
What do you think he did, do this on purpose and ruin his race every time when nobody was watching or cared so that in 3-4 years time he could become a reluctant voice for hobby joggers to sell a story? Do you honestly think he deliberately ran 18:5x and then planned in the future I will run properly and run 15 flat and shock everyone? It seems to be what you are suggesting.
Or, more likely, you know, it's just what happened as told.
