His interview style actually works great for Grand Slam Track. His arrogant platitudes that we find so annoying are easy to understand for newbies.

That’s a given, but just one (albeit big) piece of the puzzle.
Now are you “ready to race”?

I think he's wrong. No matter how "ready" I am, I will lose to better, fitter, faster runners.
But of course, he is assuming a level playing field in terms of ability and fitness. Essentially, he was saying, "we are all 3:27-3:28 guys, so what it comes down to is the psychological and mental aspects."
If he meant that, then yes, that makes sense.

I believe that it’s based on the given that everybody at that level is fit, and it comes down to the person more psychologically ready to race and leave it all on the course.

That’s literally what he meant. Thing is when you’re in a post race state of bliss, you don’t have all the time to think about your response and type it out on a message board.
Like what?

He's a moron who likes to overcomplicate a fairly simple sport. Listening to him, his coaches, and his "staff" drone on is ridiculously nauseating.
Kind of makes me think he's a bit low iq, always trying to sound smart.

well you have to be mentally ready that is for sure
and getting in rust busters and focus on the specific training after a not do great early season of training.
the two go hand in hand
everybody knows that's done it

The cool thing about the spotty little strokers like you that come on these threads and get excited at how you can "rip" people without anybody ever finding out who you are - is that ultimately you would never, ever, actually say that to anyones face in an interpersonal situation. You just wouldn't. And you're out here calling guys "pathetic". Yeah okay champ.
