Does anyone know if Webb is still training and focused on this summer despite not having a coach??? Or is he so frustrated right now that he's taking a break?

Ron Warhurst is THE most overrated coach in history. Doesn't know shit.
Briam Demer (bronze Steeple) and Nick Willis (silver 1500m) would disagree with you, but hey, what do they know next to you, anonymous internet guy.
Like said previously, Gags is back coaching. I know he's been affiliated with Reebok in the past, but he's training some ex-Georgetown guys and gals (Liam BP, for one)...I could see it being a decent fit, especially after what he did with the Reebok Enclave years ago, which was essentially the predecessor to the Hansons-Brooks Project and the OTC.
Webb visited James Li and his group last week. I think this would be a great fit.
Because Li is such a well established incredible coach?
No. Idiots.
Li is has done great things with Lagat because of the time he has spent training with him and perfecting the system around him.
Why do you think Salazar is doing such a great job with Rupp but nothing jaw dropping with anyone else? Because he's been training him since he was 16 years old and the system has been built to his needs.
Why has Solinsky done incredible things in the past year or two? Because hes been training under the same coach for 8 years now and they know what works for him.
Webb was trained by Razcko from the beginning and did his best under him. Razcko knows EXACTLY what to do with Webb to get him back to the top. Continually jumping ship and working with other coaches with systems built for different runners has been proven not to work.
How many different coaches did EL Gerrouj have? How many different coaches did Noah Ngyen have? How many different coaches did Said Aouita have?
On the other hand, how many coaches has Ryan Hall had? How many coaches has Ritz had? How many coaches has Webb had?

Kara Goucher, world championship medal,US marathon debut record
Ritz, American record, 5000 meters, 6th world champs, 1/2 marathon bronze.
What was your point again?

Ritz's accomplishments came from Hudson's training.
Goucher has been with Salazar for 7 years now and over the past year or two has made huge waves and is able to come back very quickly after giving birth.
Were you helping me prove my point? Because you did.
