This isn't trolling. Do you even know what that means, Neal? And for everyone saying, "Flotrack has done so much for the sport, so quit complaining", that's an entirely different subject. We're commenting on the quality of the interview. Stop making excuses for Flotrack. This was a bad interview and that's that. It doesn't imply anything else but that (common) opinion... P.S. Great line of reasoning accusing someone of multiple postings. Flawless logic.

You could probably listen to many interviews/ interviewers and pass judgement about them not being smooth enough and not asking great questions, etc. Certainly, this interview was no different. However, listen to what Alberto is saying between about 5:02 and the end of the interview - - no truer or more honest words were ever spoken. To me, that part of the interview - in getting Alberto to be honest about what its like questing and striving and working for greatness - was awesome! The Phil Knight quote was so spot on! And the title is very appropriate 'Haters Gonna Hate'. (last year, prior to Galen's Occidental finish or his 5,000 meters Olympic Trials finish - would many people have even given him the benefit of the doubt of ever developing a closing kick that would begin to strike fear in the competition. Galen just ran the 5th fastest indoor mile ever! He came very close to breaking 3:50 . . . that's 3:50! How many people in the history of the world have ever had this kind of world class range (between the mile and half marathon)? Enjoy this golden age and watching one of history's best compete - - for the joy of competing!

I wish I could look up IP addresses for the "Mark Haters" posting. I am willing to bet that the same person has been posting over and over to make it seem to us that there are a lot of people that agree with his viewpoint. Its actually quite obvious if you pay attention to the grammar/punctuation/sentence structure of the posts. There are obvious similarities. Amazing what lengths people go to in order to troll so hard...

It's hard not to laugh to myself when I read these comments. Come on people, stop criticizing Mark from behind your computer screen. Flotrack has done more for the sport of running than any other company in the past few years. They started off doing local highschool races and are now interviewing possible the greatest active running coach in the world. Not to mention that the staff is probably not making the best money, but are however simple doing it for the love of the sport. I admit, some of the questions were dumb, but stop hating, get off your lazy bum, and do something productive with your time instead of belittling other people. Be grateful for what Flotrack gives you.

I dont like Mark 4 months ago

To me, he doesnt think enough about what he says. I did not like that "I have it on camera" comment

anonymous fan 4 months ago

I'll keep it simple: Mark should PRACTICE interviewing. He's obviously no idiot, so he can learn. If one has the good fortune to interview people at such a high level in the sport, then one should step up and put in the time and effort, do your part to make your role appropriately excellent. Really, people, it's not asking much.

You Jealy? 4 months ago

These Flotrack message boards are polluted with the most pretentious and menacing comments. ATTENTION ALL HATERS: what are you doing with your lives?? You're obviously not running enough, and your negativity surely isn't help to spawn anything good for the sport. 99% of the people bad mouthing Mark, Salazar, Flotrack, etc., will never be as successul as any of those mentioned....are you fools JUST JEALOUS?? seems like it to me. Haters suck! P.S. Salazar 4EVER!

Sorry to be mean 4 months ago

I've watched a lot of interviews on flotrack to the past years but I'm sorry this reporter did an awful job and was inaccurate, not personable and lacked charisma in his interview. Leave the good stuff to Ryan and Alex!! Sorry Mark

trayrunz 4 months ago

I don't see anything wrong with what he said at 2:36. Journalists ask for comments to be clarified and that's what he was doing. Salazar answered it, so ....

Also, some people are making things personal on here. Attacking the way someone speaks is unnecessary. I for one can say that I've said things on here that I know Flo folks probably didn't agree with, but they've never deleted my comments--probably because I was adding to the discussion without belittling or attacking people. Get over yourselves.

selby to handle the high profi 4 months ago

selby may have the most knowledge (for distance) and professionalism IMO. straight to the point and tactful. alex and ryan are just plain fun, which I love, and we all love. your site kicks ass. marc I support your efforts at interviewing.. as a rule of thumb, I would never touch a burning pile of crap topic like "haters"
this goes for everyone in flotrack. it tarnishes the professional cred greatly and frankly, spins gossip, like middle school girls in the bathroom trying on make up for the first time... leave that topic and the like off your site and you will always do right by all...

salazar is a living legend. needs the most competent of interviewers... SELBY!
I have complained about you guys monetizing too quickly but go for it. I will not complain just yet as you are putting up videos for free after the fact. great service that is and my apologies for hacking you guys down for what I thought was a jump over to paid viewing for most everything. clearly premium is for live coverage but not all coverage! keep it up guys!! and Thank you..

I typed that last post very quickly. I made a lot of mistakes. I apologize to the token grammar "complainers" before they have an embolism, and type their annoying self righteous remarks.

I'm sure there will be a few.

flotrack fan 4 months ago

I have no problem with the interviews from Mark at all. I find it genuine and non-abrasive.

Its a very low key, interviewing style. It's not robotic.
There is no disrespect here! You complainers are absolutely nuts.
Wow, a lotta hate here for no reason. Complainers will always complain.
And they always will.
Get out and run instead of wasting your time bi*tching and moaning.
As Alberto says, " Whenever you accomplish something in life, someone is gonna try to tear you down".... and here they are on this message board doing it to Mark.

Flotrack has done and does more for the sport of track & field than anyone else out there. Mark is a first class guy and has a different (not worse) interview style. I can't stand Salazar- time will tell how much crap he does behind the scenes and will hurt the sport before he's done. You can tell from this interview what a snake he is and I hope good athletes will get out before he brings them down too.

MARK STOP REPORTING LEAVE IT TO RYAN AND ALEX

Mark should stay behind the scenes,......or interview the lease know runners.....leave the big names to Ryan.

Mark fumbles with words, laughs when he shouldn't laugh, makes a lot mistakes, not a good interviewer.

@Benjamin Peterson

How can you say that? This is a journalism site. The quality of the video, quality of the writing, the interviews, the personalities interviewing and reporting ARE the ONLY critical elements to this site. Mark may be an awesome guy and be doing amazing stuff for the sport behind the scenes that we don't know about (in fact, i'm pretty sure that he is both), but that doesn't matter a lick to a guest viewing Flotrack. In regards to this interview that he botched, you're basically saying, "oh come on guys, sure, he's not that talented and his times aren't that good, and there's other athletes better than him, but put him in the big race, even if he doesn't do well, he's a good guy and means well."
Don't defend someone by pointing out that they did a lousy job?! That's crazy talk and not how the world works. This is a dog eat dog world and Marky knows that by having a website like this he is opening himself up to criticism. Part of the territory. The comments section receives a great deal of helpful feedback that Flotrack never seems to take to heart and incorporate. They might as well get rid of it at this rate.....

This was a complete waste of 6mins. Worst interview I've ever watched, between the bashing Salazar and the $HIT questions. Who asks if an athlete is satisfied or lost motivation? Really moving the sport forward.

Duel in the Sun 4 months ago

Albert Salazar is a living legend and one of the most inspiring personalities in track and field history. He and Rupp deserve to be honored and not called out by clowns on the message board. Love that he maintains a relationship with Flotrack, and I'm sure they love being able to connect with Salazar, Rupp, Cain, etc.

Back off of Mark Floreani people. Most of what you people are bashing him for is the low level of speaking fluidity he possesses. Yea, he's more awkward in his performance compared to a Ryan Fenton or and Alex Lohr. That's not such a big deal. He and his company are still doing GREAT things for this sport. Back off and let him continue to do the best he can.

P.S. Didn't we just hear about how the negative voices should be shut out when you're doing what you love? Mark will do this and your voices will be ignored. Please have more respect for this man, his company, and his vision.

Jeeze, I actually liked the interview. 'Professionalism' can be tiring after a while. This was candid and off the cuff to me. Love Alberto. Say what you want 1) the guy gets results, 2) he does it for the love of the sport. Give alberto a break

Flotrack has such a legit site--especially when they delete comments that don't agree with personally.
The dudes have always been a little douchey anyways. Vast majority of their followers are immature high school kids who think EVERYTHING is cool.

Fact of the matter--Salazar is dirty. The OTC is dirty. And those are the facts.)))))
If those are FACTS, than where is your name, number and address so their attorneys can speak with you specifically about your FACTS? I'm sure that you have 100% proof that OTC is dirty or else you wouldn't have written what you did anonymously. It's easy to hide in mommy's and daddy's home. However, when you really get down to it, the small and weak are ALWAYS the loudest when they can hide in the shadows of a computer.

Mark, you're such a tool. Nobody wants to watch you act like a child on video and nobody wants to hear you interview like a child. I appreciate a good candid video but this is just straight disrespectful. Let Ryan and Alex run this site and you go back to your frat house and count your money.

Everyone always thinks they could do a better job. The interview did seem a little akward but I can tell you there is no way I could interview Alberto without being nervous and stumbling over my questions and words. The fact that Alberto even gives the interview tells me he likes flotrack and supports what it's all about no matter who interviews him. Flotrack, keep doing what your doing and know that there are thousands of fans who log in daily to get their fix!!

haha, you're so lame! 4 months ago

mark. you had a terrible week between this interview and the letsrun challenge video. basically, you've proven you're a ph%&king d$ck! watch your interview again, salazar hates you dude.

is there any way you can get Ryan to do EVERYTHING for your website, because everyone else is like a 2nd grader in terms of product and professionalism.
