Those are all good things. Therefore, LRC would be a terrible place for him.

She always seems more concerned about her appearance and bringing attention to herself at meets.

+1. I can’t stand successful women either

They can go up higher pretty easily.

Ms Taylor seems to be a highly effective and successful coach. I must admit, when I watched the workout video, it seemed to be a little too much about her. That was my take. The sunglasses at Nationals also seemed to be a bit much. Not my style. I gravitate towards a coach how doesn't need to be on the podium or in the spotlight. Doesn't mean I'm right and she is wrong. I am a lowly high school coach and she is a successful D1 college coach. I personally gravitate towards the Wetmore model of not being on the podium or the focal point. A lot of top coaches in all sports have big personalities. As long as her athletes respond and it is a healthy environment, best wishes for continued success.

The idea is to live high, train low. Who cares if you drive up to Snowbird for a run.

Wow! So many negative waves.

Would it help if you knew that sometimes I wear my sunglasses at night, since they are prescription and often at a meet, I don’t have my regular pair with me.

I should probably see who’s flaming me on social media for it.

She has been very successful. Nothing wrong with that. Living in the "Happy Valley" area must be a little difficult when you are not one of the "tribe".

This was a well written article by Kevin Sully. Brojos, you should think about hiring someone like Kevin or Chris Chavez to help Jonathan out to expand your LRC presence and put pressure on the Flotrack empire.

Diljeet will probably stay at BYU one or two more years before moving on to higher pay.

Oh please no! Chris is a liberal loser. And he constantly hates on LetsRun. He asks every runner in his podcast what's the worst thing they read about themselves on LRC.

She and I both applied for the CSU Stanislaus job when it came open after Duyst's retirement. At the time she got the job over me

You are a victim of affirmative action.

By the way, is she wearing the sunglasses even at night?

Give it a rest pal, Eyestone didn't hire and then fight tooth and nail to keep her because of affirmative action but because she is a great coach and she proved him right coming 6 points short of a national title.

I can't stand the constant whining on these boards about minorities taking your jobs or 'over-age' mormons or whatever else is the flavor of the day.

whatever happened to good old fashioned hard work--instead of complaining about losing to kids who come back 40 pounds overweight from their missions and two years of muscle atrophy, why don't you work harder?
