Why is a lack of college success viewed as abuse?
Yes the HS kids trained INCREDIBLY hard. Like pros. They were all in.
It's not a surprise they didn't improve a ton in college necessarily. But what's wrong with peaking out in HS, winning a natty and getting a college scholarship?
My FM kid told me about 5 years ago, "I realize now I wasn't that talented. I just trained a ton."
I was like, "No. You were talented and trained a ton." He had a beautiful stride.
The issue was he put in 1000 miles over 10 weeks in HS. I didn't think upping that intensity was doable right away in college. My plan was to let him chill a bit the first two years at like 80 and then go all in at over 100 as junior or senior. He did PR for me and ran a big relay leg for us on a school record team.
I think a lot of the FM kids have been so focused in HS when they get to college they relax and go wild a bit.
