        Not explicitly. But it said there were now 13 people in AlSal's group and listed 13 names. By process of elimination it's pretty obvious that Puskedra isn't one of them.

      • Sorry I read a longer version of the article that the OP linked. The one I saw was http://www.vancouversun.com/Th...ederated=1


        and it said

        Puskedra, who earned $3,000 for the win, had been training until recently with distance great Alberto Salazar’s Nike Oregon Project. Things weren’t working out with Salazar, though, and Puskedra left the training group after a disappointing effort in his first attempt at a marathon in New York.

        “Alberto’s a great coach. He’s the nicest guy in the world. He’s passionate and when he’s in, he’s all in. We tried everything. We tried doing less mileage, more lifting. For me, I put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself.

        “Right now, I’m just trying to regroup into racing, trying to get my feet back under me, staying away from the track and get some good racing in and get my confidence up.”
    • Good for Puskedra

        I think Salazar's lifting is way overdone.

        The less mileage and sprints way is not for everyone and is not the best method.

        So how else is Puskedra going to improve his top end speed?

      • Just got married and wife 6 months along. Its over, done.. finished. He is turning into an everyday guy. That driven, hungry, angry, animal look has left his eyes. He will be going 9 to 5 soon and painting his picket fence. Its all done.
        ASal knows it.

      • Uh, I don't think so
      • Uh, he's 25 you idiot. Lots of time. At least he had the courage to leave unlike Levins.

        He probably realized he was a NOP rabbit and Salazar doesn't actually know what he's talking about.

        Uh, I resemble that remark! I was just kidding and stirring the poo. Love Puskedra 100%. He will be the greatest Dad on earth. Wish him all the best and I hope he does decide to go for it all. I think he can do it, his way. Just tired of all these boys growing up so fast and making us all look so dang old.
