Who is coaching Edward cheserek?

Good for him for getting a great shoe deal.

However, those shoes are terrible. I have tried and tried to like them. The paid Sketchers runners must have them made custom. Has anyone else tried them?

Interesting thread. Might as well let you all in on what's really going on. By the way, the shoes don't matter if you're talented. and talent doesn't go away.

Recently ran into Gerry Lindgren, drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. In fact, Gerry is coaching him, remotely, from an undisclosed location, but that's no problem -- he's in touch w Ches almost every day. Right now Ches is doing some overdistance base work. it so happens that his coach recommended Ches do this by means of running across the USA, dressed as a woman. Unorthodox, but it seems to be working -- he has reported some incredible weekly mileage, beyond what's actually being logged.

After this phase, Ches is going to relocate to London for his winter and early spring, where he plans to prepare for the London Marathon while living and training incognito somewhere around the Hampstead Heath. So as not to attract attention to himself, he's going to jump into the London Marathon as a bandit, and go for a legit sub-2 hour marathon, by non-Monza-ing it. That's the only way to stick it to Nike, for making him run in Skechers.

After incognito sub-2 hour marathon assault, he is going to transition to his summer track phase, by relocating to a cabin in the woods somewhere in Florida, where he will be doing mega-mileage and speed work, training barefoot on a grass track. I have seen some of the workout plans, and it includes things like 60 x 400. As part of the low-profile approach, he will also begin to grow out his hair, with the plan to step on to the track sometime next summer, facing the world's best, but under the name of and dressed like, a guy from Finland.

So, that's what he's up to so far, and what he has planned for the next several months. Expect great things!

ps. Lindgren's hair was perfect.

I already said it earlier...he's joining Hudson elite.

His former teammate, Parker Stinson, is training under Hudson, and also bucked the Nike trend.

Mark my words. He knows where his future lies, and Hudson is already working with Stinson.

If you're correct, that would be amazing! I have a lot of respect for Brad Hudson. With all due respect to his current roster, if he could bolster it & get some additional talent, his program would simply explode!

Two pages too late with this dud

Funny thread. Usually I come to LRC to find out things, but now it seems I'm in a position to know and tell others. The reason for the mystery is because he has figuratively disappeared. But this is only because he is far off the beaten path. He is moving to Mississippi. I know because I'm there (or here, rather). Apparently he made connections with Ryan Vanhoy at NCAA champ. While Vanhoy has Nike connections, he has agreed to coach Ches for Skechers. Per rumor here, Nike is fine with this and actually suggested it since they plan to get him back in two years. They (and Ches) have been impressed with this young guy's coaching at Ole Miss. Vanhoy has been charged with getting him back healthy on Skecher's dime so he can then be ready to join NOP as future marathoner. Further rumor here is that if Canhoy succeeds in both tasks (healthy improvement and steer to Nike) then he has job awaiting at U of O.

Sounds crazy but since we are well off beaten path here, that's why it's flown below radar.

I have been coaching Ches for the last 4 months at altitude in Rancho Cucamonga, CA (1200ft). We will be focusing on sprint triathlons using the HADD Method for the foreseeable future with one eye on the 2020 women’s 800m gold, but we’re taking things slowly. Sketchers is working on getting us a branded wet suit this week, so we’re looking forward to that in the short term. Thank you all for your support!

Lmfao seeing as he was in Oregon 2 days ago, it's safe to say he hasn't relocated yet. The rest was funny tho

I would just say that fans should be patient, and accept that seeing Cheserek frequently race the 1500 at an internationally competitive level are highly unlikely. He may never on a diamond league type level.

He and his advisory group know that his most likely potential to be a medal threat lies north of the 5000m. This will be a slow transition toward 10K on the track, and then after 2020 begin the assault on marathon dominance come 2024 games.

He will be in his prime, instead of waiting til his 30's to begin that event past his peak.

Ches is livin in South Central L.A. and camp training at Big Bear, Flag, Boulder, and CoSpngs. The key is LAX has direct flights back home to Nairobi.

Wetmore and Colorado are Nike all the way. I'd doubt the school or Nike would appreciate his donning and endorsing Sketchers brand when the programs are all under the Swoosh.

I thought he already was in his 30s.

No. No he did not know that Wetmore has coached New Balance athletes.

...all I know is that we have not seen him race in the last 5 months. That is a long break.

Are we sure that he has not quit? It's tough to keep motivation and focus during such a long break.

He is in Eugene

Except for the 2017 New Balance 5th Avenue Mile held in September where he debuted as a pro runner with a Sketchers endorsement, he hasn't raced at all.

Mammoth according to agents instagram.

I know he runs in flagstaff, but does he still work remotely with Andy? Does that Haas guy coach him? Cheserek mentions him in Instagram posts.

Any update on who’s coaching him in 2018?

Is he still with Powell? He seems to be in Flagstaff a lot with Stephen Haas (assume his agent) based on instagram and Twitter, interested to see if he sticks with what worked for him at Oregon from a coaching perspective, but just moves around between locations and jumps in with any other elites who happen to be in the area.

Altitude training clearly works for him based on races so far!
