#45	Fireland July 30 at 1:05am I think Alberto was about to say that Bob told him to take it slow when adding on the miles over the years, the old to much to soon way of coaching. Many great runners got burned out and over worked at a young age and then you never see them run again. This is a big part of what has been wrong in the past with american running, things seems to be on the correct path for the future. Some great running in the past couple of years shows this to be true. reply
#44	Thinking July 30 at 12:29am I have a feeling the Phil Knight interruption was planned. Was Phil listening in the background and didn't want Alberto to tell the advice? reply
#43	Applebag June 24 at 4:52pm Mark & Ryan, Can you guys make a point to follow up and get the question answered about what Bobby K had to say for advice on Galen at an early age? We're talking about perhaps the greatest to date distance runner in the US giving important advice that has helped lead to the development of perhaps the new best US distance runner. This is as important as it gets to distance runners, both coaches and athletes. Thanks! reply
#42	Brooke Ferguson June 19 at 1:28pm I agree with Eduardo!!! Just when Salazar is going to share Bob's advice, we cut to Phil! reply
#41	Alberto And Rupp? June 19 at 12:56pm How in the world does the NCAA allow Alberto be Rupps coach when he isn't the coach for UO? There has to be some loop hole in the rules for that to happen right; couldn't this be considered as participating as a professional athlete due to having a personal coach? If anyone has a legitimate answer, I'd like to know. reply
#40	Eduardo June 14 at 11:36pm Sh%tty D%cks!!! What did Bob have to say????????????? reply
#39	Trackman June 14 at 2:37pm Does anyone know the rest for that 16*400 workout rupp did? reply
#38	Luke June 14 at 1:30pm I wish i had phil knight and nike backing me reply
#37	Anonymous Coward June 14 at 12:37pm dangit i wanna know what alberto was gonna say! reply
#36	Justdoit11 June 14 at 10:13am Mark From Flotrack said: “Alberto was being nice. If you saw the races that Galen ran you would agree that this was just a workout and a way for him to practice racing hard. Stand by my question.” Galen was pushed during the 5k but I agree with you he didn't look like he had to race to hard during the 10k. But I also think that if when Galen stopped to put his shoe back on if they had taken 2-4 laps hard instead of just like 3/4 of one than he may not have won. But with the races played out Galen had a phenomenal meet and will do well as Pro. reply

#34	History Professor June 13 at 10:04pm Out-of-Wedlock-Danny said: “"bringing them back from the dead" wtf?????” Kara was thinking about quitting the sport before she started working with Alberto. reply
#33	Out-of-Wedlock-Danny June 13 at 6:26pm "bringing them back from the dead" wtf????? reply
#32	Mark From Flotrack June 13 at 4:21pm Flotrack Fan said: “I love this site and the characters that are Mark and Ryan but I also agree with the Ghost of Obea Moore. Everyone always mentions that they appreciate the unpolished/shoot-from-the-hip quality of Flotrack, but there is no reason why Mark can't improve on his interview skills. It would make some of these interviews less embarrassing (the quote here about Galen running a workout was a bit awkward). Ryan is probably the greatest addition to this site because he interviews and relates to the athletes so well. Keep up the good work gentleman, but don't overlook trying to improve your weaknesses.” Alberto was being nice. If you saw the races that Galen ran you would agree that this was just a workout and a way for him to practice racing hard. Stand by my question. reply
#31	Professional Coaching? June 13 at 4:03pm And theerin lies the rub. reply
#30	Confused June 13 at 2:34pm So is Salazar a volunteer assistant at Oregon? reply
