Whoah, I guess I should have saw this one coming but still surprised me. Jon Green, the coach of Molly Seidel, has quit as the coach of Mary Cain's dubiously named "Atalanta" running club. Seeing as how there are still only 2 runners in that whole club after all this time and the media hype Mary Cain put out, I think this is the beginning of the end of "Atalanta" and why Mary Cain declared herself a professional triathlete.

Heard he got fired.
LRC note. This is incorrect. We have learned he resigned in December and stayed until March to help them out so it's pretty much the opposite of him being fired.

Anyone else think Green is overhyped as a coach and really just got lucky?
I mean all he did was take one of the most decorated collegiate runners in American history and get her to run some 130 mile weeks. Can the guy really coach? Kinda just feels like “right place right time”

Nobody cares.
In relevant news, "Atlanta" is back on FX on the 24th.

Green is better off putting 100% of his attention on coaching Molly Seidel.
You don't think he should put any of his attention into coaching Emily Infield?

Why Google and every phone out their autocorrects "Atalanta" to Atlanta, you seriously chose a dubious name for your running club. It's like you don't exist. Not to mention there is already a Atlanta track club, to add to Mary Cain's dubious choice of "Atalanta"

I seem to remember another Atalanta track club years ago.

Molly announced via Insta that he is moving to Flag and is starting the Verde Track Club as head coach which will include her and Emily I. as it grows in size. A much better gig than Atalanta's head coach I would imagine.

no doubt. I think the ship was constructed with holes. It is not long for this earth.

I still don't get Atalanta. Rip off of the soccer team name aside why has nothing happened since the announcement?

Because Mary Cain and company were literally spending more time posing for Instagram and magazine photos than actually running

This makes sense. AZ is a far better place to train for distance than Georgia.

It's just terrible marketing. You have to be a special kinda dumb to think, "I know there's the Atlanta Track Club, but WE'RE going to be the ATalanta Track Club!" What were the rejected names if this is the best one??

Don't underestimate the humidity. In June-September, it can slow you down just as much as 7,000 feet.
