I know these threads have already been popping up, but the latest news on Simeon Birnbaum having a stress fracture should be the latest reason. First, he has completely ruined BTC, which was once a top tier professional running club. Second, he has recruited multiple of the best recruits in the country and FAILED them.

It’s probably the double threshold training…talking about BTC, omg ew like ew like Jerry Schumacher is like sooo soooo sooo bad for the sport, he ruins everything. No athletes EVER have success under his training! No American, Canadian, British or Thailand records like ever!!’ So #bad. Ugh just like Flotrack, gosh I hate everything so much.
