BUMP
What happened to these guys? Are they still training? Will they be competing in any race in 2012?
Looking back, it sounds like this kind of training maybe should be ignored - who wants to train for 10 years and build a house just to become a one hit wonder?

So which training system should they do? They've done more by year 10 than any current US runners.

They ran about as fast as Ryan Hall for their HM PR's (59/60min) and Marathon (all three of them 2:04 PR).
So was there ever any consensus on this? Did Kibet really train low mileage, or was he running 25 miles per day? This thread is extremely confusing.

Seriously, it seems like if there were elite marathoners training at 80 miles per week that we'd be hearing more about it.

Or we would hear about it, and then shout it down because we didn't believe it.
Hmmm....
You don't need consensus. From the quote in the article:"he's [Kibet's] a SHOWMAN who claims ..."Whatever the claim is, it's part of the show.

I don't think it's fair to say that it was "shouted down." It seems like there's conflicting evidence, so it's difficult to know what to believe. Are you saying that you think this is a valid/possible training method for elite marathoning?

Interesting - some now Berardelli's athletes are getting busted. Seems fairly conclusive that most of the 'new marathon' innovations are doping related.
I'm really surprised that the seminal 'something new in training' thread speaking specifically about an outed drug-coach is not of interest.
Rosa has gotten rid of Claudio Berardelli:
The former coach of banned marathon runner Rita Jeptoo has had his contract terminated by his employers after another Kenyan under his control failed a doping test.
Claudio Berardelli was no longer working for Italian athlete management company Rosa & Associati, director Federico Rosa told The Associated Press on Monday.
The MISCROS 60 machine didn't save him. Will Eunice stay w/Berardelli?
