Kawauchi - another amazing performance

Was this a true leak? I would be devastated if so. I am suspicous of most elites but Kawauchi seemed to be different given that he was not running full time and so I supposed he would not be as desperate to use PEDs.

Imagine Yuki in NIKE's sub-2 shoes!!!

Had been very interesting to coach him for a year with just 6 sessions per week,speed up his distance work, and that way maximize his capacity and recovery. Then I should cut his marathons to just 3 in the year. That way I think he should beat the Japanese record 2.06.16.

Except that, no. You can throw speculations/dreams like this and pretend to be a great coach, but nothing never happens in reality. Besides Kawauchi is way too slow at 5-10k to break the NR.

I agree with you that Kawauchi`s times at 5/10 k are way too slow up to now, but he has run a 1500m in 3.50 and that after he had raced just some short time before that day. A 3.50 1500m is around 61.5 sec/ 400m and it should not be any trouble for Yuki to run 20 x 400m at 62-63 sec in training with that great aerobic power he has. Then he would have to run LT-pace long intervals at around 2.52 min/km to reach 2.06.16 at the marathon.

Someone was trolling. He is not on that list.

There is a lot happens in reality when I coach! What about now one of Kenya`s very best juniors, Josphat Kipchirchir?I started to coach him back in 2015 at age 16 , just back from the U.S.A and 4.00 at 1500 and 14.35 at 5000m. Recently he was third in a Kenya road race 10 km in 27.47 ..... 2,5 sec after the winner Abraham Kiptum. In Nairobi at the Kenya Nationals Josphat ran 28.20 at 10000m ( 1800m altitude). I have many more examples of my relatively short coaching career but I will spare that for the reader this time. You force me to show the results when you say " nothing never happens in reality" .

I won't say that you've done something until you get an athletes (preferably white ones) with a years of hard work behind him, and he/she improves significantly by your methods. Juniors and beginners improves by any kind of training basically. Your self-promoting here and SPECULATIONS like "I could coach Kawauchi to break the Japanese marathon record, IF..." are just ridiculous.

If that my statement would be ridiculous, then it would be as ridiculous that someone proposed Canova to coach Kawauchi . Why ? Because Canova would do mainly the same as me and speed up his training. Yuki have probably one of the worlds very best aerobic engines already. It`s more a matter of very best individual exact paces in his case to run faster.

Canova gives his athletes a bit more than 6 sessions in a week even if training for 5-10k... But you can continue living in the Dream World of yours. Have a Magic Christmas time! :)
