Not sure if you are joking but there might be something to that. I recall a story Kenny Moore told about running a race when he was at Oregon. He was psyched up for a race, thought he had trained well, then had a terrible performance. He was depressed much like Webb is now. Bowerman put him on a weight scale, saw his weight, then forcibly made him eat a huge a stack of pancakes. Just like that, problem was solved.
Ice cream is the answer. Flied lice no good.

What abouts ice cream sandwiches smothered in sweet & sour sauce? Ummm...can you say 3:39 for the full mile?
I kind of agree. The boy looks cachectic. He's a power type runner in my mind, and looked sapped of energy. Of course, it's early feb, and he's had the flu. That would make anyone run less than ideal performance wise. I'm banking on a 3.35 or thereabouts this summer.

I'm sure his head is spinning by now. First, we say he's too big for WC competition. Now, he's too thin. Then we say his training is not sophisticated enough. Now, we say it's too sophisticated. No wonder he's not consistent.
Everyone has bad races. EVERYONE. No excuses, quit crying about getting cut off and the flu and crap and get over it.
I remember reading somewhere that when he joined on the "Saladbar" crew, Alberto made him "lose the superfluous muscle" my thoughts were instantly....WTF???!!?!?!!
Look at Mr. Webb in 2007, a ball of raging MUSCLE, powering through his 1:43, 3:30 and 3:46. No "superfluous" muscle there!
I know myself that if I skip my high-carb dinner, my training is going to be crap the next day.

The Salazar program forbades any carbs.
wasn't he very light similar to this his bad year at michigan?
Maybe you need to ship Mr. Webb some 666EnergyDrink product.

All I need is an address!
Unlike 5 Hour Energy, 666 Energy Drink contains no banned substances.
Do you guys think he reads this?

Not really, Edwin Moses had 122 consetutive wins. But he was vegetarian, so it's almost like unfair advantage.
Mr. Webb and the entire Salazar team should come on out to Winnemucca Nevada for a hearty Basque Meal at the infamous Martin Hotel. Huge Steaks, Fries made from Nevada potatoes, Beans, Stew, Salad, and that all-time Basque classic...Picon Punch!
Mr. Salazar needs to stop trying to fashion his runners into skinny Kenyans and just work with the American Muscle.
