The bottom line, though, is that I can't prove anything to you. I have test data, I have credentials, my athletes dominate races after they get off their bikes. Runners who use the techniques I teach improve their economy consistently and dramatically. They run faster and win races. Look to my website for my credentials. Look at the race results of the athletes I coach. You can buy in or not; your call. I gaurantee that you will run faster if you do.

Congrats on the optimal cadence testing - nice that it falls into the exact same range cyclist have been talking about for the last 25 years that I have been cycling (probably even before that but I'm only in my 40's ). Good to know you put it to the test though.
Congrats on the 90% of all races being won by forefoot strikers. I have watched Pam Reed (my idol ) run and I have watched Dean Karnazes run and have paid attention to their form. I will watch again closely as they are the runners who impress me most - if they were in your stable I would be 100% convinced already. Though it looks like Rice who started this thread is already a convert having run with his 2 year old.
Have to say I am impressed with your answer. Now I look forward to checking out your training logs to see the cycling, running and swimming in practice or will I need to login to your website to see those as well? Edited by Wookiee 2005-07-15 11:35 PM
