        Interesting tidbits:
        - she got injured before the Olympics during a walk in the Grand Canyon
        - her age is unknown, they just choose January 1, 1993 as her day of birth
        - she was sent by her mother at age 15 to Europe, pretending to be a "refugee"
        - she is a Muslim and would like to wear a hijab or burqa, but knows it isn't possible in this sport: http://www.volkskrant.nl/leven...~a4111258/

      • If you look at her physique it is clear that just a few sets of push-ups and some core work will transform her just as Farah was transformed by this regimen.

      • As silly as that 'I did some pushups' reasoning was from salazar/mo, Hassan truly will benefit from a good strength routine- her form sucks as is and especially collapses when she is tired.

        Look for big things from Sifan Hassan.

        As stupid as those of you are that propagate this lame trope.

        If you watched the whole video -- you would have seen the ENTIRE strength work out the NOP runners do, guided by their physio.

        It includes a ton of things like weights, medicine ball workouts, all kinds of physio type workouts to isolate specific muscles etc. etc. etc.

        Maybe someone has the link to the video...

        Here is one video: http://www.flotrack.org/video/...weightroom

        There is more about their strength workouts in the NOP FloFilm series as well (speaking as a FlotrackPro member, it is worth it).

      • The best part of the Salazar team is inspiration for Muslims and Christians to have a harmonious relationship.

        Seriously.

      • Yep, then you take the beta agonists in pill form, and the thyroid meds, and strip all the fat off. And you load up on the glucocorticoids 5 days before a big meet, and it's all covered by TUEs.

        And you go into the mountains in Utah, and when you come out, you're going head to head with the Jama Juicers.

        That's how it works.

      • Jos Hermens is also the manager of Abeba Aregawi (meldonium positive) and Faith Kipyegon. Jos wins most of the podium.

        Jos is also the manager of Kamworor, Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele.

        Jos always wins most of the podium.

      • So, Salazar is now going to say, who cares if Rowbury medals or rather this is a way to insure that Simpson doesn't medal and Rowbury will beat her out because she has a better training partner, just as Rupp gets a shot to medal and push out another American while Farah gets the golds.

        That is an interesting strategy in the Nike-Netherlands-NOP-Connection (NNNOPCâ„¢). Jos also manages Olympic champions Stephen Kiprotich (marathon) and MAKdaddy. (Jos wins again.)

        There is a high probability that the American runner pushed out will be coached by Jerry Schumacher.

        For example:
        Andrew Bumbalough

        Salazar has Centro, Rowbury, Galen, and MoNo.

        This is getting really interesting now.

        If we had a dual track meet of their runners, who would win?

        Alberto vs. Jos?

        I think Jos will destroy Alberto.

      • According to Rowburys social media pages, she was getting paced by her husband In the past

        I assume this is because the other females on the team couldn't keep up

        Hassan will be a great training partner for Rowbury!

        Why doesn't Shannon just run with the guys?

        For example:
