1. Athlete improves in their early 30s.

3. Athlete improvements does not seem linear.
The typical reaction on let’s run will be that this athlete has juiced or something similar. This is pretty predictable. Rather sad as well.
She is an engineer, earning €3000-€5000 per month. That is an excellent salary in Spain and even in France so she’s not going to mess around trying to dope in athletics which is just a hobby for her. Please people get real.
Ghust 1 .......You just have to forgive the vast majority here at LRC that doesn`t know how effective and rewarding low mileage training without peds can be if performed by an experienced
coach who knows how to perform it the best way.
They don`t understand how it`s possible and then just states there just must be doping behind. )))
Ignorance and no experience of how to train the best way on low mileage.

In your case, ignorance and no experience of how to train the best way for a marathon.

Looks like you two guys have a small history. Iceland and Sweden - let’s be friends. Nordic power.
Personally I think the wizard is misunderstood on this website. What I mean to say is that the wizard may have success with some athletes with less success with others and that will be the same with a lot of coaches.
On the plus side, the wizard seems to have good knowledge about athletics, and the wizard himself was a quite decent athlete running 29 minutes for 10,000 m in his heyday.
Trond - how is the running scene in Iceland and are the winters very challenging for running or does the gulf stream help like Alaska?

Jan Stensson, who is not a wizard, has lied about his achievements as a coach, about the athletes he has coached and about the results those athletes achieved.
Jan Stensson is promoting a paid coaching service and scamming people who believe his claims.
Jan Stensson is a scammer.
Jan Stensson charges money to coach athletes who come to him because of his false advertising.
Jan Stensson is not misunderstood on this website.
Sorry to read this. Maybe we could focus on his good points such as the fact that he claims to have helped some Kenyan athletes who were very poor.

Try to tell that to Yuki Kawauchi who found out his old one session per day training got him to his new PB 2:07 .

I didn't say anything about low mileage. I said that you are a crap coach as the results of your marathon runners can attest.
Yuki, luckily for him, has never been coached by you.
One thing I’m getting out of this interesting debate between Iceland and Swedish people is how well Nordic people in general speak English - essentially they are bilingual and that is remarkable. Few nations in the world can pride themselves on that level of English if it is not their native language.
Yuki’s time all the more remarkable since he did not wear the Nike super shoes. ASICS, special model which I assume mimic some of the features of the Nike super shoes.
If Trond and Wizard happened to meet in person, will they communicate in English, or Swedish or Norwegian? I am assuming that Trond possibly has some knowledge of either Norwegian, Swedish or Danish even though Icelandic (Norse) is rather removed from those other Nordic languages? But perhaps a better guess would be that they would communicate in English as they are doing on this website.
Iceland is a fascinating country and I must say I was incredibly impressed by the level of the footballers representing the country of Iceland in recent European competitions. There is also a world-class strong man from Iceland who is impressive but I forget his name, sorry.

Didn`t you know?? )) One of Yuki`s favorite workouts is 20 x 400m at 66-67 sec ! I could easily have coached him to same very good 2:07 marathon.......and I believe even faster.
But now , stop to hijacking this thread by Ghost 1 of a fantastic French female athlete!
You can keep on trying to attack me and my coaching at my thread here at LRC.))
On another subject, congratulations that Iceland has almost completely contained the COVID-19 virus and controlled the situation for your country. It probably helps that your population of just under 400,000 can be controlled by the only port of entry the airport and good tracing system. How is the system in the wizard’s Sweden? Their policy seems to have changed.
That cloying fanboyism is super creepy, Ghost. It was bad enough when just directed toward the lads.
