You are very brave to post this in the hive of the Tinman cult.
Say it with me, slowly: CV TRAINING DOES. NOT. WORK.
CV has gained a lot of traction because liberals are always looking for the easy way out.
Any coach in Kenya is going to have the opportunity to coach runners far above Drew Hunter's current level, so even no name Internet coaches wishing to spread their name from Scandinavia or who knows where that have coached Kenyan runners have done so. That doesn't mean that they are that great. They have the large supply of hungry athletes (hungry meaning very eager to do what it takes to win, not necessarily physically hungry) of the deepest country in world distance running history, training in inexpensive places at altitude with (still) a fair amount of dirt roads, tracks, and enormous numbers of great training partners.

How many coaches in history have improved ALL runners coached by them? Is there any ? So far coach js have done this.
I think this coming summer

I can strongly advice all runners that 10 k paced training is absolutely not necessary
to reach individual max performance. If you look at the greatest systems in history it comes down to just three main paces to succeed . Max VO2-pace, LT-pace and the very best individual aerobic power pace ( LSD ). Stop thinking that the best way have to be complicated ! It`s not! Make it simple and run the best you have ever run…...Good luck!

Maybe Peter Coe.

And with that experience, Daniels has been your "weapon of choice" when it comes to training?
Before I answer this, I feel it is important to detail my perception on coaching books in general. I’ve always avoided the temptation to perceive coaching books, and online resources as some form of recipe or cookbook for success. To me, coaching books are a way of expression, and intended to function as a means of streamlining the flow of information from the “lab” (literally or metaphorically) to the general population. In other words, the book is an expression of concept(s) for which we draw our inspiration from, and the specific workouts or training phases are indiscriminate examples of those concepts… not (automatically) a verbatim recipe or prescription. The functional objective of the book, as I see it, is providing us with a means to mimic the overall concept(s) while organizing a “best fit” training model around each individual athlete’s needs.
In this way, I believe a publication or book can act as a means of empowerment for the athlete(s) being trained under the conceptual system of choice. By providing useful insight and knowledge about where the coach is drawing his/her inspiration from, the book can act as a conduit of confidence and empowerment for a more specific and efficient exchange of information between coach and athlete. I support and encourage each individual to be fully informed and engaged with the training concepts and proposed process before establishing new goals or renewing the old ones. A full understanding of why and how we are doing the training is the key to sustainable adaptation, and overall success. I believe the coaching books can help both coach and athlete objectively define the principal concepts and purpose of each individual training program, and I believe having a purpose leads to practical application, and practical application leads to sustainable performance, and sustainable performance leads to success.
So, to finally answer your question, yes… I tend to (initially) draw my inspiration from the concepts outlined in Daniels’ published works (not just his latest books, but all of his publications). I have been reading Daniels et al long before he published the first edition of Daniels Running Formula in 1998… so when it was first published, I was already working from a position of familiarity with the science and his conceptual training principles. That said, Daniels is far from my only source of inspiration… and I believe this unbound process diminishes the dependency on any one training philosophy and avoids a state of inflexible attachment to a system that may not be suited to each individual.
Hopefully this answered your question.

No, I don't work with CV (I don't live in Spokane)... they've got a great tradition there with a solid program and coaches!
