Maybe Ritz isn't thinking it and has 100% trust in Hudson. Maybe the training that didn't work for Ed will work for Ritz. But the thought's hardly senseless. If successful/bad training doesn't transfer from 1 person to the other, than why all the workout posts and Lydiard genius??
Really, really dumb, ttc. Have you ever thought that the performances of your teammates has any bearing on your performances? I never have. Workouts aren't contageous diseases.
Yea I have.... If my collegiate XC team bonked bad a couple weeks before my debut, I'd be seriously worried and rightfully so. You've never heard of a team of runners peaking together, peaking too early, etc.. You've never heard of a successful training group or a bad one??
