I'm not saying Wetmore needs to go, but sure seems like change is needed there.

He needs to go because his team typically finishes top ten out of 200 teams? Uh, what?

Her IG post has her in the same outfit as a picture from July. USUALLY, when there is a big announcement and an old photo is used, the big announcement is pregnancy.

I think you might be right.

Bump - Im going with this one! Pregnant

Unless she was pregnant at Trials (which seems unlikely), it'd be very early to announce a pregnancy to the masses.

Nelson, Burroughs, or Simpson would all be exactly what the doctor didn't order for the CU program. They are defined by their loyalty to Wetmore and his system. Unfortunately this system does not represent modern training. The outside experience that group has had with other coaches (Nelson - Rowland, Simpson - Henner) unfortunately is not helpful in that both Mark Rowland and Juli Henner are not good coaches.

Ritzenhein's methods and brand would be the ideal replacement, but it sounds like he prefers a small group at least at this point in his very young coaching career. Maybe he'll revive the program in ten years.

still 2yrs younger than Kichoge!!!!

Kipchoge!!!

Give let'srun readers examples of outdated training practices you fear Ms. J. Simpson would bring to U. of Colorado.

I will give you examples of outdated training. You tell me which ones Ms. Simpson would bring to U. of Colorado:

1) No runner is allowed to run more than 25 miles per week due to fear greater mileage will cause a runner to suffer a heart attack.

2) Steak & eggs is the only meal athletes should have for breakfast.

3) Drinking water while training is for wimps. No need to drink water.

Which one of the above outdated training practices do you fear Ms. Simpson would bring to U. of Colorado?

I love how she thought she would find another Coach and then came running back to Wetmore.

? Wetmore refused to coach her after she graduated. He said he had no time to coach pros. Simpson was forced to find another coach until Wetmore relented and she went back to him.

For every athlete that has come out of CU successful, there's at least 5 that have come out broken, burnt out or have or had eating disorders.

This is straight-up dumb. How did CU produce 6 all-Americans when they won in 2018, by recruiting 30 high schoolers? They're not broken and burnt out, you're broken and burnt out.

Wetmore will probably step down in the next few years.

But, umm ever heard of Art or Chris Siemers?

ShÏt, Buff alum Alan Culpepper is spiffing up his resume down in that armpit El Paso.

How many of them are running post collegiately dlckbag? Did you decide to follow CU when you were a freshman in HS in 2018 and that’s all the info you have to draw off of? Go back to worshipping Blake Theroux in your basement kid.
