My coached elite marathoner Kenyan Sammy Nyokaye will try the Kenyan mountain Champs on Saturday.
He lives and trains in a very hilly environment so he is just used to hilly running. As all of my coached runners he never use any hill repeats in training. He has never raced a mountain race before and will just use it as an "experiment" and at last get a race in the frustrating covid situation .
"Let me prepare my athlete for a event by not training them for what they'll compete in." Good idea, reminds me of a friend of mine who bonked at Boston and guess what he does little to no running over hills.
Well.....I told it. He is used to hill running but don`t run them in the form of hill repeats.
Good luck to Sammy.
Still waiting for your proof that Kamworor asked you to coach him, Lying Jan.
If he wins, I will hire you to coach me.
You are welcome anyway! :)) Sammy is the winner of year 2017 Mully half (and first price 450000 Kenya shillings, about 5250 dollars) in Kenya at high altitude and winning time 1:01:40 ( 8 sec from world best half at altitude in history). We will see what happens.........
Jan you are such a dishonest fella. You fail to mention mully course is downhill. Sammy is great athlete but his best years are from 5 yrs ago now, he would not fair well in a legitimate mountain event and the fact that you haven't prepared him properly just means he may not enjoy this moment

Dishonest Jan, how did it go?
Funny how you "forgot" to update us here.
Did Sammy win? Did your DANCAN Magic system succeed?
Oh, he wasn't even in the top 10 at the end! No shame for the athlete but you are always talking about your stupid system, and you "coached" Sammy to run a mountain race without specific hill sessions...
DANCAN sucks.
The top 10:

I have never been dishonest here at LRC.Had no idea Mully`s would have been downhill?
Anyway Sammy beat Kangogo to third place in Mully`s, a runner with 59. 25 half in Copenhagen same year and 2.07:48 at marathon in Valencia 2019.
It’s called “Natty’s” or “Kenyan Mountain Natties”.

Nice diversion but you need to answer the questions at hand.

In fairness, it's very hard to prepare an athlete specifically for an event he only decides to enter a couple of weeks before it happens. This was a real spur of the moment thing motivated mostly by having no other races of any kind to run in.

He never does.
And Jan, you didn't know Mully's was downhill? What a crap coach.
