#69	Anonymous Coward July 11 at 8:10pm looks like a tough workout. Doesn't seem like Jesus is all that impressive, though especially for a 17 year old. 1600 Meter Run - 4:44.32 3200 Meter Run - 10:32.18 5000 Meter Run - 16:32.00 reply
#68	DAtic June 28 at 10:42pm For those who are wondering where Leo Manzano trained in Mexico, I can tell you that he did high altitude trainning in Nevado de Toluca a 15,000 ft peak above sea level. He ran along with German Silva a his team, as you remember Silva won the NYCM. I recommend you to visit the Nevado where you can find a 16mi trail to the peak. German Silva organizes twice a year (Feb. & Aug.) a high altitude trainning there. reply

#65	Anonymous Coward April 16 at 7:54pm The Dares "Love Me When I Leave" reply
#64	Taylor Carlson April 13 at 4:41pm Ya what is this song? reply
#63	Not Mexican April 13 at 11:21am I'm not from Mexico but i've been there for bussiness and pleasure a few times and the only polution i saw was around Mexico City. The rest of the country is not poluted at all. Guadalajara and Moterey are large cities and the air in both of them was clean when i visited there. So saying the Mexico is for most part poluted is a huge over statement. reply
#62	Jay April 13 at 7:00am What's the name of the song during the workout in this video? lol I like the music you guys use in these videos reply
#61	Bluegrass April 8 at 4:15pm Mikerunner said: “does anyone know when leo will open? ” Penn Relays reply

#59	Your Name April 7 at 7:39pm That's Chuy! reply
#58	Great Video April 1 at 7:32pm great video, but whats the song in the first half of the video? reply
#57	Beaner April 1 at 7:16pm mexico is veryyy polluted in most areas. i wonder where he trained reply
#56	Mike March 29 at 5:49pm this workout is not fun with 1 min. rest.... nice vid reply
#55	Anonymous Coward March 27 at 9:59pm im excited for workout wednesdays. leo is looking fit too! cant wait to see how he runs in a few weeks reply
#54	MID D Star March 27 at 9:31pm Love these middle distance workouts! Keep em coming reply
#53	Totally Kidding March 27 at 9:11pm the song's in the credits...sorry about that. still a great workout. reply
#52	Fierce March 27 at 9:10pm Good work out, i love how he got back on pace after his 800. wonderful. does anyone know what the song is? reply
#51	Pete Thomas March 27 at 12:23am Gotta love hard workouts - Thanks Ryan and Leo and Jesus! reply
#50	Jesus March 26 at 10:46pm Here is jesus's stats... he's probably way faster now http://tx.milesplit.us/athletes/398155 reply
#49	Guppy March 26 at 9:50pm Jesus doesn't look like the best pacemaker. reply
#48	Its Physiology March 26 at 6:35pm hey man most peeps dont understand the way we train as elites. They obviously dont realize that if Leo were to be at 3:35 shape all the time he would be injured SO much. He needs to let his body rest. get some good long miles, then shape all of that base into killer speed. reply
#47	Dang March 26 at 8:05am I don't think Leo has ever looked that physically fit before reply
#46	Mikerunner March 25 at 11:10pm does anyone know when leo will open? reply
#45	Its Physiology March 25 at 11:10pm leo has a high distribution of fast twitch muscle fiber. base training will convert that fast twitch muscle into what is known as "intermediate" type muscle fiber (not slow twitch). he should still have had a high degree of speed for those intervals. in my opinion, he just looked sluggish due to the recent transition from altitude, and this being the first workout of the year. reply
#44	Poopie March 25 at 11:03pm for leo, he should have been under 2:05 for that lap, come on he splits 1:58's in the mile... no matter how much slow twitch muscle he has recruited reply
#43	Allan Schroeder March 25 at 10:42pm his coach looks like he is as old as leo. But he obviously know what hes doing. great workout reply
#42	TJ Niles March 25 at 9:54pm Hey anyone know what his brother has run for times and how old he is? It would be interesting to know. reply
#41	Darius Montazemi March 25 at 8:31pm no they arent streaks they are katana flats reply
#40	Understand This March 25 at 8:21pm Leo is filled with fast twitch muscle fibers. The guy is quick. He is stepping on the track doing some "speed" work for the first time in a very long time. His body is shocked during this workout. He has been recruiting mostly slow twitch fibers during his base period, doing longer, relatively slower(compared to his mile pace) miles. If he did this workout in 3 weeks after having done a few other track workouts, that 207 would be below 2 for sure, and every other rep would be faster. Its physiology. reply
#39	Anonymous Coward March 25 at 7:57pm YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA BABY!! reply
#38	Quinn Chasan March 25 at 7:46pm uh oh....leo has a brother... reply
#37	Robertdickson March 25 at 7:34pm yeah right trash...i suppose you would have nailed it right. you arm chair coaches crack me up for real. you are probably like, a 2:10 half miler or something...do you even run track? Seriously...look at what the workout is...all with a one minute rest...trash you say...your silly. you should put not in front of your name, as in not well. Here's an idea... go to the track with a camera... record yourself doing the same workout, don,t forget the 1 min recovery(no more) post the video on flotrack so we can all see how not well you did. Trash ...that's hilarious. reply
#36	Blah March 25 at 7:19pm katanas i think... reply
#35	Well March 25 at 6:57pm What happened in that 800? THe whole workout was awesome but then that middle rep was trash. reply
#34	WAXC March 25 at 6:13pm looks good reply
#33	Scott Cook March 25 at 5:27pm Woo hoo Manzano's the man! reply
#32	Dom March 25 at 4:28pm Great video! And I was just wondering what was happening to Leo as he's been under the radar for quite a while. This ladder workout, does one proceeds from the 200 to the 800 the intensity gets harder? Correct me if im wrong. ( Effort wise how should they feel like? I have wanted for some time to try out a ladder workout) reply
#31	Sean March 25 at 4:20pm "He's a great Mexican Olympian. Loved it when he accidently ran the USA Trials...but it was all set stright when he spoke in Spanish on the podium. Perfect..." No there's really no need to explain things to ignorant chingada's like the Anonymous Coward. That piece of sh!t dosent understand that even if he/she tried their hardest they could NEVER be as good as Leo. or make it to the national scene. sorry you're jealous. Stick that up your A$$ reply
#30	Zachary Fitzgerald March 25 at 3:40pm Anonymous Coward said: “He's a great Mexican Olympian. Loved it when he accidently ran the USA Trials...but it was all set stright when he spoke in Spanish on the podium. Perfect...” He came to the US when he was 4. He's American. Rowbury, Donahue, and Flanagan went down to Mexico to train at German Silva's high altitude training center. Does that make them any less American? reply
#29	Anonymous Coward March 25 at 3:04pm He's a great Mexican Olympian. Loved it when he accidently ran the USA Trials...but it was all set stright when he spoke in Spanish on the podium. Perfect... reply
#28	James March 25 at 3:01pm what flats is he wearing during the workout? Streak XC? reply

#22	Read The Description March 25 at 1:00pm poopie said: “he looked a little sluggish through that workout to be honest. did he recently get back from altitude?” to the right of the video, you're answer can be found reply
#21	Poopie March 25 at 12:46pm he looked a little sluggish through that workout to be honest. did he recently get back from altitude? reply
#20	Jesus March 25 at 12:41pm Jesus is a hoss!!! reply

#11	Runner March 25 at 8:45am banana said: “Is that the same Coach he had when he was at Texas?” No, Coach Vigilante was his coach at Texas... but now Vig is at Virginia coaching. reply
#10	Redhead March 25 at 8:33am Looks lilke Ryan Ponsonby, the old ast at Texas, is Leo's coach now. They seems to be working with Cook as well. Leo is ripped! reply
#9	The Dude March 25 at 8:19am not working...goes for about 3 seconds and stops reply
#8	Robert Lee March 25 at 8:14am Good to see! Is he running Stanford? Now find Lopez!!! reply
#7	Anonymous Coward March 25 at 7:37am Cook has spoken very highly of Vig's ability to develop talent. It seems the two have a connection. Last I heard - he is still coached by Vig with on-site help by Ponsoby in Austin. They did team up with Cook to do the Altitude Training in Mexico and probably also to work on some strength and bio-mechanical issues. I could be totally wrong - however. reply
#6	Vano March 25 at 7:13am evelinkari said: “Who is his coach?His not coach by his old coach?” John Cook, coach of Shannon Rowbury and former coach of Shalane Flanagan, Erin Donohue, Julius Achon and mentor to Scott Raczko who coaches Alan Webb. reply
#5	Evelinkari March 25 at 7:08am Who is his coach?His not coach by his old coach? reply
