Goucher may not be a fan of Salazar now but she did have some nice things to say about how well he prepares you when she spoke to David Monti in Houston.

I'm trying to recall if I ever heard her criticize AlSal's training acumen. I think it's smart of her not to. Certainly gives her credibility in her role as commentator.
What happened to that crying rant about Sal, the drugs, and cheating?

"I wasn't sore after I ran a marathon" certainly sounds like a doping accusation to me.

She's smartly drawing a distinction between anything ethically related and his ability to train athletes. One could argue it's all inextricabley connected. But I think that's a bit harsh.
Hassay still looks like she is 13.

Correct. It is consistent with Rupp doing mile repeats after a race. This is an implicit doping allegation.
So your logic is that Goucher is admitting to doping with this quote?
I'm no AlSal fan personally, but this is nonsensical.

No, it sounds like he prepared her well for the downhills. This isn't rocket science nor drug science.

Yes, of course. When you say it is nonsensical, it shows you have no integrity.

There's no way that being well prepared for downhills enables one to finish a marathon with no soreness.
LRC trolls will continue to see only what they want to see. They'll relate anything to doping if they can.

You're going to get some strong disagreement around here on that. When the body is comfortable consistently running 120+mpw, and has been doing high mileage for years, a marathon isn't all the destructive.

Surely there's some amount of soreness, but as someone who has also prepared well there is definitely benefit to pre-race eccentric loading.

It isn't that destructive, but it is still destructive. She didn't say that she experienced minimal soreness or that she experienced less soreness than might be expected. She said that she experienced NO soreness.
If you experience no soreness, you can turn in another equal performance as soon as you have replenished your body's fuel. You really wouldn't have suspected doping if she had spent a few days eating decent meals, and then run another marathon of equal quality 4 or 5 days after? That's what she is saying she was capable of.

Actually it is rather destructive. You need to brush up on your homework.

No homework needed, passed the test already. When I finished the marathon I was best prepared for the official at the finish said "wow, you look like you could run another one!" Hyperbole of course, not not far off.
