Who would you rather be coached by? Alberto Salazar or Brother Colm?
Either will come to coach at your running club or track so you don't have to go to Oregon or Iten. Also you are free to train in your favourite brand of trainers/sneakers spikes. You will not be limitted to Nike or Adidas.
You are training for a flat 5k on the road.
The only PED you are willing to take is tea and/or coffee.
God's representative of course.
salazar anyday ,no b.s .
at least doesnt use his squeaky clean next to godliness image
mr nice niceness ,
to hide the real truth of certain athletes ped use .
wake up rudisha is just as dirty as bolt and bekele.
the lightness lr3 sure helps .
That you used drug implications for the reason of picking Salazar over Colm is hilarious.
Friar Zalasar.
Actually, I think I'd choose Dr. Woldemar Kostre, as we got our training plan from the Ethiopians.
If you add up the medals won by Colm, Renato, and Salazar, it's Alberto that doesn't belong in the competition. The Ethiopians have been stronger in 5000/1000 (certainly 10000), but the last TWO world record holders at 800 have been coached by Colm. I'd pick Koster for 5000/10000/XC and O'Connell for 800/1500/SC and maybe as long as 5000.
Hi Coach D
Thanks for your reply - it's amazing what one can learn by posting a hypothetical question on letsrun..
I can find almost nothing about Dr. Woldemar Kostre. (I've put his name in google.) Do you have anything about him which is in English? (The youtube clips were in a foreign language - maybe Ethiopian.)
Many thanks
