No not at all- but at the pedestrian pace the race was they shouldn't look like they are kicking hard with all they have - which is what it looked like at times. Maybe they were just really trying to practice finishing on empty after jogging most the race? Again I have faith the twins will round into form. I was just observing what this one meet looked like.
And Robinson is a 2x NCAA champ who's run 7:36 and 13:06. You are not seriously trying to argue that they should look as good as he does at the same pace, are you?

I'm actually questioning the coaches decision. Why have these guys triple if it looks like they are working hard. I would have pulled them from one of the events. Watching coach Smith it's one thing I've really picked up- he bases decisions on the effort it looks like the athlete is putting in. IE cutting a workout short if the athlete is pushing into the red zone too much. No hero workouts that cause a long time recovery at this point in the season. But i'm not a coach.
The Young twins are equivalent to Stanford's Mastalir twins from 1986-90. They were 4:05/8:48 at Jesuit HS, but lacked great talent, so progression slowed at Stanford.
They mentioned in a recent interview that the approach in high school was more professional in that they got consistent sleep and home cooked meals. Now they each have roommates who keep more normal-person hours and they eat in the cafeteria, so rest and nutrition have both changed negatively, possibly effecting their progressions.
Have you been to the Stanford cafeteria? If you can't eat healthy there you are a brain dead idiot.

Stanford has a cafeteria specifically designed for athletes. it's like a high-end Vegas all you can eat buffet with nutritionists on hand to help you make healthy eating choices. not even Oprah has it so good.

I would argue that the Stanford cafeteria is probably better than what most of those students got at home.
I am unfamiliar with the Big Four firms recruiting employees from NAU. Last I checked, only the top 1% of sponsored distance runners actually make a decent living, and even then, they are not able to put in enough years at that income level as a pro athlete to be able to retire from it.
Exceptions: Top few sprinters in the world, maybe the star distance athlete of each gender.
Again, remember, this is all ordinary income taxes, which is absolutely brutal.
It's funny that you think that everyone makes their most important decisions based on money. People like Nico Young and Colin Sahlman are 100% committed to being great runners and they chose accordingly. They know that you don't sacrifice the gift.
You don't think the average HS 4:20 runner would run under 4:05 trained under Brosnan, trained like they did throughout all high school (i.e. not jogging 20 mpw freshman year)/

Don’t even start on ts man, if they run bad it’s not because of eating at their athletes only cafeteria and having roommates who sleep less than then…
This was their excuse. It makes sense to me. What do you think is the reason (noticed you provided none)?

They mentioned a special chef as well in the interview. I guess no one else listened to it. And no, never been to Stanford.

Sounds like at least they’re one step above Drew Hunter, who needed his mom to come coach him.
