Good post James thanks. I guess for me the main frustration is that I’m just a self coached athlete who runs a small business and I don’t have much time to figure things out on my own.

I have about 4-5 good years left to run and to possibly make it pro then my time is over. I don’t care to become famous our rich I just want to end my running career with good PRs and at least make it to the Olympic trials in 2012 (end of world date lol). If I felt as though I did not have the talent I would not have put myself though a decade of sacrifice and discomfort.

Anyhow, I do consider myself lucky however because I came across charlie methods before I got too old or before I cashed in my chips so at least I can go to the grave in peace knowing that I gave myself the best possible chance to succeed.

Not to many people can say that, because when I look around, many people give up on there dreams very early in game.

I appreciate your situation.

I’m not sure that I can effectively put into words my own frustration with the coaching industry. One example being the lack of, according to my definition, qualified coaches out there.

I’m not looking for an argument with that statement. It’s my professional opinion.

It’s disappointing to me, for instance, that you are without a coach.

I’ve had the same discussion with RB34.

As far as I’m concerned, athletic potential that goes untapped due to a lack of accessible and qualified coaching is a travesty.
