Connor Burns/Simeon Birnbaum not allowed to post on Strava per Jerry

Some coaches are very insecure when it comes to their training. They don't want others to criticize what they are doing. It's not that they are afraid of someone copying. They are afraid someone will say they are doing things wrong. Jerry is very insecure.

It could also be that they don't want their runners being workout heroes to impress strangers on the internet.

It’s pretty basic.

Workout #1: 7-10 miles of threshold work mostly in 1 mile and 2 mile repeats.

Workout #2: Hills and track. Some variation on 200,400,600m hills and then 10x300 with 100m jog on flat ground.

Weekend hard long run.

The next week will be something like a 4 mile tempo run followed by some reps in the 1600-400 range, getting faster throughout.

Jerry's got issues. If a kid wants to post on Strava then post away.

you honestly know nothing and need to get a life. Not even close

You sound very defensive.

I think the fact that they have been told that they can’t post is the problem. If they chose not to there wouldn’t be any issue with that.

I’m not sure what your problem with me is, exactly.

I’m not a coach nor have ever claimed to be one. I just enjoy studying training methodology and post training information for others to use how they wish.

None of those runners want to post their training, so they don’t, which is okay. I think everybody should have the choice to share however much they would like. Some people prefer the privacy, which is great for them and they shouldn’t be forced to post anything publicly, but if you want to post publicly, you should absolutely be allowed to. As a graduated high schooler from Connor and Simeon’s year, I loved seeing their training on Strava and it was always great inspiration for me to get the work done and aspire to my best. There are probably plenty of others they inspired and encouraged to work hard and put in the miles. Is that not good for the sport?

Nope , if the coach says no posting , then no posting. Most great coaches don’t want their athletes posting.
Do you see the college football coaches or players posting their plays , no you don’t.

This thread where you posted about coaching advice for one of your athletes says otherwise.

please go outside bro

Not comparable at all. There is no secret workout. Everybody knows this.

All of Jerry’s college training is on Aaron Bienfield’s strava. Just scroll back to last year. He’s the only guy that didn’t listen to Jerry it looks like.

It’s exactly the same thing. I love the secret workout excuse. If everyone knew what they were doing, then we just have great coaches everywhere.
No reason to post workouts online so hacks like you and Han Solo can pretend he know something.

Simeon and Connor just could manually upload their mileage without explaining to track their mileage. I find it weird why Jerry did that.
