Episode #14 - Leo Manzano Workout, Preparing for Beijing

Leo Manzano will be no stranger to the World scene this year when he hits Beijing. Last year he made the US team in the 1500 and "had no idea what was going on." When he steps on the line in Beijing with 100,000 screaming fans he will be ready to roll. Will the little guy from Texas have what it takes to get in that final?? As you've seen in the past and will in this workout....he definitely has the wheels! GO LEO!

#53	Alexander Shah August 14 at 7:44am Does anyone know what capacity the rabbits have? Are they 3.45 min 1500m-runners? And what was the recovery between the sets and repetitions? / A Leo-fan from Sweden reply

#40	Anthony Colotti August 11, 2008 at 2:52pm On those strides the golf cart makes it sound like a jet is taking off...kinda cool reply

#35	Gundi August 7, 2008 at 8:15pm Gooooooooooooooooooooo Leo!! reply
#34	PJ August 7, 2008 at 4:39pm It's amazing to watch Leo run. Not classic form by any stretch of the imagination but he can really roll so... If anything these signatures were even more pronounced in the form drills, which I found amusing for some reason. Best of luck in Beijing...I'd love to see a couple Americans in the final reply
#33	Tony August 7, 2008 at 2:45pm Great show of support from the rest of the guys...the room mates. Great of them to get out there and run some fast 300s with him to help him get ready for the Olympics. Good on ya Longhorns. reply

#29	Thomas Stevenson August 6, 2008 at 6:14pm Coach Vig is now officially the head of track and XC at University of Virginia so this is the last we will see of Jason in Texas colors reply
#28	Proof August 6, 2008 at 6:12pm http://www.virginiasports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=92039&SPID=10607&DB_OEM_ID=17800&ATCLID=1550384&Q_SEASON=2008 reply
#27	Ken Jamerson August 6, 2008 at 5:11pm Leo is a Lion in a small package. Look out 1500 meter runners, he knows no fear! The Chinese jungle is his stalking ground.......Roar! reply

#23	JLF August 6, 2008 at 3:53pm Leo is sooo awesome! I really hope he does well, and makes into the finals. He has so much potential and I truly believe that he can do something pretty unbelievable at Beijing. Im all for Leo! reply
#22	Dan Suher August 6, 2008 at 2:36pm He is probably referring to the rumors that Vig is going to be the new Director of XC/Track at UVA reply
#21	Vig In UT Colors Sickening? August 6, 2008 at 2:15pm Anonymous Coward do you mind explaining why it makes you feel this way? What colors would you prefer her wear if not the team he's coaching? Is there something I'm missing? Thanks for any enlightenment. reply
#20	Anonymous Coward August 6, 2008 at 2:12pm watching vig in UT colors makes me want to throw up reply
#19	Mrs. Doubtfire August 6, 2008 at 2:07pm I must say that Leo's coach wins the award for the cutest collegiate track/cross coach hands down reply
#18	Cara Hawkins August 6, 2008 at 1:13pm That was great video! I really like Leo and I can't wait to see what he does! reply
#17	Bob August 6, 2008 at 1:11pm Great inspiration, after watching this I am definitely going to rooting for him to win. reply
#16	Jeff Abbott August 6, 2008 at 12:55pm I like the videography and editing. Especially at the end with the 30s. Very quality video. Leo looks like he will be strong and prepared. I am sure that the experience from Osaka will help him be more calm and ready for Olympics. reply
#15	Chearell August 6, 2008 at 12:47pm hell yea UT HQ ATX rep them horns. good luck leo reply
#14	Best Ever August 6, 2008 at 12:25pm Vig works so well with Leo. reply
#13	ivanvano13 August 6, 2008 at 12:16pm very nice. This might beat the Shalane workout. Is this a morning workout? If so what'd he do in the afternoon reply
#12	John Petricevic August 6, 2008 at 12:02pm probably my favorite workout next to 'the workout' Ritz reply
#11	Nate Z. August 6, 2008 at 11:40am 36.8* sorry reply
#10	Nate. Z August 6, 2008 at 11:37am uhmm... 35.8 for 300 would probably be more like 49 for 400 reply
#9	B August 6, 2008 at 11:29am actually that 36.8 is equivalent to about a low 49. 36 is 12s per 100, so a 36.0 would be a 48.0 400m. reply
#8	Sean Twomey August 6, 2008 at 11:04am Best Workout We have seen yet. 36 for the last one is flying, thats the equivalent of a 52 for a 400. I wish we could of seen that 5xmile. that would of been so sick. reply
#7	AD August 6, 2008 at 10:50am WAXC Leo was wearing the Nike Katana racer for the first 6 300s. reply
#6	Erik Van Ingen August 6, 2008 at 10:15am love the tracking shots on the 30's.....so sick reply
#5	WAXC August 6, 2008 at 10:07am whats the name of the flats? reply
#4	Hilotee August 6, 2008 at 10:03am this may qualify as the best wo wed. ever? Those 30/30 sprints at the end were a nice addition to the workout. reply
#3	Brandon Spalding August 6, 2008 at 9:59am Is this the last workout we see with Vig in a Texas Polo? reply
#2	Joshua Neyhart August 6, 2008 at 9:10am Leo workouts are the best reply
