There are 10 official NOP members. 4 of them were either MIA or horrible today.
Murphy, not a good race.
Eric Jenkins - MIA.
Shannon Rowbury MIA.
Kejelcha - horrible.
Whatever they are doing it sure didn't work for Kejelcha (next to last). Murphy wasn't great either.

Jenkins ran 8:22 for 11th in the two mile.
Give it a rest. Their athletes are consistently over trained. Sometimes it clicks.

Murphy did not run well.
Kejelcha just must not have felt 100% for whatever reason and packed it in. Engels said he saw Kejelcha move out to lane 3 mid race to move back in the pack. Sounds like someone who's packing it in. Maybe he was instructed not to kill himself if he didn't feel great because he has to run that qualifier for Ethiopian Champs in a week.

Salazar explained years ago. They do 2 fast workouts a week. Tuesday is shorter intervals like 200-600m. Friday is longer intervals (800m up to 1 mile) or tempo. Tuesday is usually 3-6k volume depending on the session. Friday is usually 8-12km volume depending on the session. Pace wise Tuesday can be anywhere from 400m (on the 200s) to 1500m pace. Friday is usually 5k-10km pace, but can get as fast as 3k pace for 800s or 1ks if there's sufficient recovery. For both days, recovery is usually 200 or 400m jog depending on the interval distance and purpose of the workout.
The interval is the recovery period, not the work portion.

I wonder how much do they periodize their training? Does Salazar use more of Bowerman training? For example, in the fall/winter you might do 15 x 400 in 70 seconds and over time progress it to where they are running 6 x 400 in 55 seconds? Like I imagine they take a few weeks off at the end of the season. Take a few weeks just rebuilding. Than start doing more structured workouts.

If they even are juicing, they’re clearly doing something different than a lot of others. I’m sure it has in large part to do with the facilities they have access to, along with the fact that Salazar is one of the best coaches in the world regardless of what you think of him morally.
I’d also wager that it’s less likely that someone like Kejelcha is doping living in the US with NOP than it is when he was living in Ethiopia.
FWIW; They could very well still be doping, but no one is completely free from suspicion.
It's insane. Everyone improves
Look at what Rupp, Centro, Farah and Dathan, and Rowbury did under him.
Now look at Hasay, Osaka, Brazier, Murphy, Engels, Hassan, Yomif, and freaking Koko....
Runners don't fall off under him. They evolve, like world class evolve.
Imagine would he would do with the Dibabas ...god damn.
Lots and lots of dead dogs cast aside under Salazar. 2x the number of failures as compared to successes.

Wouldn't be surprised if Salazar/NOP training is just Bowerman training adapted/adjusted. Look at pre training:
Non Competitive Season:
M. a.m. 4-6 miles@ 5:40 pace.
p.m. 5-10 miles@ 5:40 pace.
T. a.m. 4-6 miles@ 5:40-6:00 pace.
p.m. 8 x 400 with 200 recovery, 4 x (600,400,300,200,100 with 200 recovery, all @ 68 400 pace)
W. a.m. 4-6 miles@ 6:00-7:00 pace.
p.m. 5-10 miles@ 6:00-7:00 pace.
Th. a.m. 4-6 miles@ 6:00-7:00 pace.
p.m. 12 x 150@ 22, 300 jog, 4-8 mile run, 12 x 300 (4 @ 52, 4@ 50. 4@ 48)
F. a.m. 4-6 miles
p.m. 4-6 miles
S. a.m. 4 x 1200@ 3:18, 3:16, 3:14, 3:12, 800 jog; 12 x 300@ 52
S. 12-15 miles@ 6:30-7:00 pace.

pm. 4 mile run
S. 15 miles@ 6:30 pace
This is within what Salazar principles, kinda.
Surely they are doing phonetic exercise. I recommend phonetic exercise. The power of languages for daily well being has an evolutionary, historical, physiological and psychosocial basis. Sometimes seemingly simple basic categories are the best supplements: rest and relaxation, food and socializing.

Yes -- Cain, Ulrey, Levins, Ritzenhein, Chock, Webb, Rohatinsky, Yoder Begley, Puskedra, the entire first iteration of NOP except for Browne (who was never a medal contender but made US teams), even Hasay who was a bust her first 4 years as a pro until Salazar discovered she had a talent for the marathon. I'm sure they're others.
Jenkins has also disappointed during his time with NOP.
athletes make coaches, coaches don't make athletes.
after you get a good rep as a coach, the athletes come.
and after that it takes good coaching and luck.
if you have a PED program, then pretty much everything works.
otherwise it is a crap shoot.
that's the score on that.
Adam Goucher constantly injured during his time with NOP, never ran up to his potential. (Probably more his fault than Salazar's.)

Sure they’re juicing, and so are a lot of other people. But the NOP has doping down to a science. Saladbar knows exactly how much drugs he can give without triggering a positive test result (by testing out AndroGel on his son and sending Rupp’s urine to the Mayo Clinic for testing).
Do you really think USADA would let him get away with this? ? Do you remember how USADA relentlessly dogged Armstrong for all those years gathering signed depositions from his former teammates and putting together a strong case that ended the Armstrong dynasty for good. USADA also slammed Marion Jones hard when they broke up and exposed the BALCO doping ring. I can't see USADA turning a blind eye to this when they showed no mercy for two hometown heros in Armstrong and Jones.

I’m not making stuff up. Here, read about Sleazy Sal for yourself:
