Google reader going bye-bye.

Interesting that he omits Rupp when discussing great American indoor performances from this season. Does every other athlete just hate on Salazar's group? Geez

If you are suggesting RSS is dead, you are very very wrong.

That can't even be forgetfulness if he mentions Lomong's 3:51 and not Rupp's 3:50 let alone the 7:30.

It might also just be that he's friends with all of the people he mentioned, at least in part because they race each other all the time, and not as close with Rupp, as they race each other infrequently and don't happen to run in the same circles. Or maybe there is more to it.

Especially considering he refers to a blog post he did earlier to rehab an injury using "technology that saturates red blood cells with as much oxygen as possible to repair damaged muscles." Obviously just a bunch of hoopla, but sounded like he was coming straight from Salazar's camp himself.

Yes they do hate on Salazar's group, for obvious reasons.

awesome running swag

didn't mention Rupp

This city they are in, San Luis Potosi, Mexico, was mentioned last year, too. I can't remember who was there, but someone had a blog about their time there.

So I guess San Luis Potosi is the go-to place in Mexico for altitude training? Do you know of any other places in Mexico where people go for running? Or any other places in Latin America, for that matter? (For example, I read that Lasse Viren did altitude training in Bogota, Colombia.) Can we name some other places?

symmonds tweeted out a picture of him & manzano a month or so ago in SLP, so they're there. so are rowbury, solares, probably other BATC people along with torrence.

Yep, Symmonds was there with Manzano.

Aren't Manzano and Rowbury a couple?

My wife is from SLP. I've visited their numerous times. I haven't ran on the track shown, but have at tangamanga park numerous times. I've been in both summer and winter. The weather is pretty similar in both season.

So is SLP the best place in Mexico for this? I mean, are they just going to keep going to the same city in Mexico every year, or are there some other places to go? Any other spots in Mexico that are on the radar for running?

No it was not entertaining. It was very dumb like all of your posts. Please go away you sack of svit

Except he didn't mention Lomong's 13:06, a more impressive performance... sounds like he was thinking
