Bump. Any troof to this?
Makes sense. Coach Smith and Schumacher are good friends.
Smith is Jerry's guy. Ratcliffe has how many guys running under Jerry?
oh please god, please!!!!
bring back the german!!!
We landed on the moon!
He is in Flagstaff right now training with Bumbi, Lopez, Nelson, etc.
I was at a camp about two weeks ago where we Skyped Chris Solinsky, someone had asked who is training with his group and he mentioned German Fernandez.
You're thinking of the wrong smith. Martin Smith at UO was Jerry Schumacher's college coach and mentor.
One assumes Lopez is Lopez Lomong, and one would further assume he is somewhere nearby London.

This is true, but Jerry and Dave are best buds.

When AW's mile record falls it will not be to GF.
If GF ever gets back to setting records it will be in the 5000, 10000.

Wow, I sure hope this is true and not just another "Troll Lie"!
If he can get some quality time in training with these guys, who knows what can happen! The pressure is really on though and he's gonna have to deliver something significant very soon! "IF" he truely wants this bad enough, it can happen for him. He just needs to stay in the game not only physically but psychologically as well! There's absolutely a MEGA-HORDE of fans out there that want to see him make it BIG for so many different reasons!
Best of luck to him!!!!!!!!

Right now Lopez is still in Flag. He did a book signing there last night or the night before.
And yeah, there have been a few threads and some fairly credible rumors that German has been training with those guys for the last few weeks.

Pressure? What pressure.
"gonna have to deliver something significant very soon"? Why? For your own emotional satisfaction?
The best thing for German's running career is to do everything he can to get healthy and stay healthy long enough for 18 months of mostly uninterrupted training with some fellow studs. Delivering something significant soon is utterly irrelevant.
It's true. He's been officially with Schumacher as of right around the Olympic Trials. The question now is whether or not Chris Derrick is going to join as well....
Per Lopez Lomong's twitter, he is still in Flag. Although I thought it was weird, apparently he just wanted a better training session before flying to London. Since the track events begin later on in the Games, there is no reason for him to be in London so soon. Especially if he wasn't gonna be holding the flag in the Opening Ceremonies again.

oh and Bumbi's def still in Flag

they are all heading to Europe pretty soon though. At least thats my bet.
If this is true, then this is a great move.
How many AW holders has Schumacher coached?
Jager, Tagenkemp and Solinsky.
How many Olympians and World Team member has Schumacher coached?
I really don't care to check and count.
Go German!
Answer to all those: More than Alberto.
Pretty sure Shalane Flanagan also has a couple of American Records aswell.
He is a fantastic coach, excited to see how he does!
