Who is Bryan Smith, I've never heard of him? I heard that Alan was now in charge of developing athletes towrads 2012, a very tough job, is that the case? Is Zara Hyde Peters Director of Development just on the Endurance side or across the board?
Its seems odd that UKA which is doing so much to encourage people to take coaching badges and qualifications has somebody with lots of experience as a runner at the highest level but none of these qualifications as Senior Performance Coach. I've been present at meetings when he has said he has no coaching badges, but neither for taht mater has Alex Stanton and look what he has achieved, it would be nice to see UKA admit taht the coaching qualifications are a none event, which they are.
Does Rowland have his own group of athletes or does he get involved with all of the internationals in terms of endurance?
