Gouchers moving to Colorado

I doubt if those two would go back to Colorado again where they originally came from. It's time for them to move on to Mammoth, Flagstaff, Tucson, or North San Diego, which is where the IAAF Outdoor and Olympic medalists live and train.

Do you people really think Alberto gives a damn one way or another? I'm sure he had a good relationship with Kara but lets be honest...she hit her peak...a few years ago. She will make a US team for a while but she will never again finish on the podium of a major marathon or world championship. He has his pick of most athletes in the world, I doubt a pre-madonna and her pre-madonna husband are going to make him lose sleep at night.

"pre-madonna"? Shows how much we can value your opinion

That is some first class stupid right there. Even by Let's Run standards.

It might be a reference to someone who famously made that mistake here on the boards a while back. That guy really was clueless, but I think this one is intentional.

Here is the original thread:

If the poster had used quotation marks to indicate irony, I would be more inclined to believe that.

The point is simple. Everyone thinks that running for Alberto would be a dream come true. This board thinks that Nike money and Alberto is "The Perfect Situation". IT IS NOT.

orbitboy, you are messed up and really need to get a life.

Does this mean we will get no more Workout Wednesday videos on Flotrack?

She should have left Alberto's Army when she did this "workout/race" a few weeks before Boston and 5 days after a half marathon. A 20 mile run with him riding up your a$$ in 1:49.04 was the race, and surprisingly she didn't win Boston! Would any other coach have gotten their athlete to do a 20 Miler at sub 5:30 pace on the road and in racing flats that close to a marathon... Or ever? For someone who won New York and Boston, he seems to have no clue about marathon training.

We at the IAAF have reviewed the video and that workout didn't count because it was paced by two men running and another on a bike.

I'm surprised that no one has suggested that their falling out might be over PEDs. It's common knowledge that Alberto uses whatever legal performance enhancements are available. Maybe this "grey zone" finally crossed a line for Kara and led to a falling out? I think something finite like this is a more likely explanation than just general dissatisfaction, since the move is at such a bad time.

Yes, I've created lots of enemies by making a habit of calling stupid people on their BS. Sorry, I'm such a bad person. I must have really hurt your feelings.

it's "prima donna"- bonehead. though, maybe you meant the time before the material girl?

"That is some first class stupid right there. Even by Let's Run standards."

***1.) The first sentence should read as follows: That is some first class stupid(ity) right there.

***2.) The second sentence is not a sentence at all. It is a sentence fragment.

***You FAIL. Keep your shite watertight if you're going to call others out, dude.

This is a pretty respectable thread. Lets try to keep our comments on course.

1. Alberto and Kara

2. Where are the Gouchers going?

3. Who would be good Coach?

4. Will others be leaving?

I was using slang. And sentence fragments are fine on message boards where brevity is more important than sounding like you're writing a high school term paper. (I'm surprised you didn't chastise me for omitting my concluding paragraph to tie my whole thesis together.)

But that's all quite different than not knowing what a prima donna is. I can write complete sentences—with or without slang—anytime I want. However, that guy will be stupid forever.

Hey Jackass--The post above yours talks about NOT trying to make this thread about YOU. You obviously have nothing to add to the thread so stay away.

I am happy for Kara. She now has a fighting chance against Shalane and Desi.

I'm thinking Shalane, Kara and Lisa Koll would be a fine training group (in more ways than one) somewhere

That wouldn't upset the nike cart too bad would it?

Maybe they would let Adam train with them too - a 65 minute half isn't horrible.

meaning, schumacher might let adam train with his group. At the back of his group.

Are you the ass clown that didn't believe that she was leaving the great and all knowing Alberto? Pull that swoosh out of your ass. Jerry knows less than Alberto in the marathon.

Kara will NOT do what is necessary to win a medal in London. She is making decisions based upon wants (like most of us) rather than needs.

If she has not already done this she needs to. Get a hold of Davila and the Hansons and find the magic. You are running out of time.
