Why don't we just kick each other in the face for half an hour?

You're just as bad as the people that try shoes on in a running store then go buy them online.
Yeah, and do you think that's going to change? everything will be online and the good ole' USA is changing, like it or not Spanky.

Cannot recall how I found out, probably on tnfmedia and it was a promotion c/o Fila to get a signed copy of the book plus a token discount on Fila shoes, which I used on a pair of Fila Flows. Unsure who was injured more running in those shoes, me or Adam Goucher. Impact? It was just a fun book to read, the training details were about as personally relevant as Casey Malone's discus PR progression. It was more cool to meet some of the people in the book in intervening years.
You'll have to check with MTV to see if it's cool.

Good article/interview, thanks LR.
Would be awesome if Lear or Gault could get a sitdown with Wetmore to talk about how his training philosophies have changed over the years and looking back on this year if he would change anything
Who is Jon Gault?

Since you know his first name, I assume you know more than you're letting on

Although he is not identified by name until the last third of the novel (Atlas Shrugged), he is the object of its often-repeated question.
Today Gault catches up with the rest of the Buffs.
Tomorrow, we have an expanded interview with Adam Goucher.

I think I read several years ago that he changed from singles to doubles. The reason for doing singles was to fit around the college schedule easier, apparently. If this were reason though, why wouldn't more colleges do it?

One thing that struck me was how they have like a 30 minute 10k guy (on the track) who could run even splits and get All-American. Where we had sub 4;00 milers who would sometimes get out too fast and end up getting beat.
...and we dominated them before you (late 80's-early 90's). Things sure have changed.

I don't have many hobbies (like washing my hair). I don't have a wife. The bottom line is I'm here to make you guys run fast. When I go to sleep at night, my mind's churning, thinking of ways to make you fast....

Arkansas and Stanford had a lot of Gouchers. Stanford - with Riley, Jennings, the Hausers - they had five or six Gouchers,
Great stuff. Really enjoyed these articles. Thanks!!
