I am specifically after athletes that have competed at international level, broke world records or medalled at international level. I've tried searching this forum and internet and can only find his American based successes such as national titles etc. It says he "worked" with some athletes but I work with lots of athletes too but would not take the credit for "coaching" them. I need to know who he actually coached.
Thanks in advance.
Jack Daniels coached me through a nasty divorce. I can happily state that I remember very little of it.

Well played.
Why don't you send him an e-mail asking him directly, dummy?

I have not had a drink in a very long time, because I am worried about the temptation to self-medicate. It is very tempting, though.
Jack was pretty much in control of Ryun's training before he ran 3:59 and 3:33. Ryun was a part of Jack's altitude study. Jerry Lawson (2:09) ran for Jack. There's more.
should read "3:51"
O'Sullivan PRed in the 1500 at age 31 after switching to Daniels' training regiment. He ran a 3:31. Anytime you PR at that age in the 1500, something is up. And I think it was by a considerable margin. Maybe 2-3 seconds. I'm not sure.
jack didnt coach ryun, huge misconception. he offered advice on altitude is all.
jois
Jack is a well known researcher. He is not a coach.
a lot of people who ran at cortland might disagree with that.

I have the copy of the altitude study. They were Jack's workouts for over 6 weeks at least. Those 6 weeks included both the 3:33 and 3:51.
I apologize. I meant a coach of World Class Athletes. Because of his research he has been a sounding board to many. Just not their coach.
Jim Beam.
Jack is a great source for information for the fundamentals of distance running. His system is great for developing runners and coaches but lack ancillary training necessary for today world class athletes.
Ancillary training, is that like training FOR ANTS?!?!
Seriously, what do you mean by ancillary training?
Thanks for the sensible replies. Gee this board would be so much better if the dickheads and jerks would just f*** o**!
If you really think it is funny and get enjoyment out of posting things Like Jim Beam then I pity you fool!
Now back to the topic. The other sources of information seem to indicate that Daniels has done a lot of research and as some have said, acted as a sounding board, but has not actually coached someone to the top. I am starting to think his contribution to running coaching is over-rated in the sense that if he was so good he would by now have a swag of gold medals.
It brings to mind an interesting comment from Peter Snell that basically stated scientists have not made any valuable contributions on how to train - but they assist in comfirming what coaches already know. Perhaps Daniels is on the scientist side - lacking that little bit og instinct that coaches have- that thing inside that tells them they can push a little further even though no-one has before and others tell me not too!!

I agree with you. How dare anyone try to have fun and disrupt your self-important quest to take down Jack Daniels?!
I don't if he is directly coaching these 2, but i know he is at least assisting in the training of Abdi and Fam.
