I love the people that continue to troll after me. I don't have a problem talking about Marc Hughes at all. He was the founder of Herbalife 24 years ago. He was a great man with an incredible vision, to help the world become more healthy.

Yes he died in 2000 from an overdose of prescription anti-depression medication. Is that what you feel the need to talk about? Depression is a chemical imbalance that sometimes can't be completely controled through all natural means. My wife suffers from it and WAS on prozac, but has since gone the all natural route with Herbalife. Any other questions?

OK Chad. So the guy, who founded a health food company, and set up a situation to siphon off the profits of all the people in his downline, including people like yourself, drops dead from health related issues that his company claims to help cure...excuse me...I know Herbalife never cures anything. There's no red flag there for you?

We won't get into the financial disaster it can be. I'm not a troll. I just don't accept bullshit when I know it's being fed to me.

No some girl is on the cover

Dear Mr Neer, his email is available to you to take up the conversation in private. Surely most people in a Viren training thread wouldn't be interested in your spat unless you to are the genuine draft

Thank you. Tower just got it and I just bought a copy.

genuine draft- i love that type of post.

Fine. Tell him to take the ad link out of his posts.

The more you talk about it, the more I go to the link and tell my friends about it. Keep up the good work, Neer. Keep bumping Mile's posts. Business is booming.

First get your blood up to speed, oops that was that cheat freak Marty Vaino

lasse was/is a very congenial but private man, though i have not spoken with him in at least 20 years. however, as i said, he was and is a finn- meaning he's a cheat. finns always have been and always will be. maybe too close to russia, i suppose. lasse and pekka both had help in the chemical department. i'm sure i'll get beat up on this board for saying that, but i couldn't care f***ing less. i was there, i was around it, and even shudder to say that i came extremely close to partaking. lasse was at the very tail end of his career when i was in the middle. we were never friends per se, only acquaintances because of the international circuit (though lasse raced very sparingly). it is a misnomer that he was trained by lydiard. lydiard had only gone to finland to plant his ideas as a part of a national program. he was NOT viren's coach. lasse was coached by a kindly gent whose name escapes me- both he and lasse came from the same town called myrskyla. one of lasse's staple workouts was a session of 20x200 with 1 minute recovery. he was extremely pulse conscious. right before he broke the world record for 2 miles (8:14?) he ran the session at a average pulse post interval of around 160- the times of his repeats i also do not remember (alot of water under the bridge from those days!), though they were obviously significantly under 30 seconds. malmo would be a good man to ask regarding viren's training, as he seems to be a real student of the sport- and actually someone of the same era as myself. malmo can verify i'm sure of all the aforementioned. drugs were a real temptation. i just couldn't bring myself to do it. those athletes are now paying for it with their health, while i'm just an old bitchy physician who still is able to grab a track session by the scruff of the neck!

Spinks was not old, just way out classed, in the end after 100 seconds, knocked the f*** out. Lance Armstrong & all of the riders in the TdF have great endurance. Lance just hits em in the face like Tyson used to. Four hour marathoners have great endurance but none of them can hang with KK & Tergat. What good is endurance if your out of the race when the gun goes off? Stamina boy, I am tellin you stamina & pure power, it's the newest thing, try it sometime when your not busy.

as with this neer gent, i don't accept bullshit, bit i couldn't care f***ing less about who this guy and herbalife is. i only post under one moniker anyway.

essentially, you all have piqued my interest. i was working late in my office last night and found some of my old training logs- brought back some real memories. thought you might get a kick out of some of the old names. copying this from june of '79...morning session: 40 minutes moderate running over wood chips with rod. he's on his way to sweden to meet up with some other kiwis flying in for a meet in stockholm next week- nyambui rumored to be coming for the five. ran a bit harder than i wanted this morning as i will be on the track this afternoon with the finns for a hard session. afternoon session: 30 minutes active warmup- 8 x 400 meters (58.5)- felt very heavy. like chalk and cheese compared to last week- perhaps the travel? suomen led the session with viren alternating. will be glad to get back to hengelo to relax in a few weeks.

those were the days of youth. living on hard bread and salami on a shoestring budget.
