Comments on: Solinsky’s First Half Wrap http://www.kimbia.net/2008/08/01/solinskys-first-half-wrap/ Scenes from professional athletics Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:05:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Joe Costa http://www.kimbia.net/2008/08/01/solinskys-first-half-wrap/comment-page-1/#comment-2543 Joe Costa Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:14:12 +0000 http://www.kimbia.net/2008/08/01/solinskys-first-half-wrap/#comment-2543 Your August 1st post shows that you've grown a lot since dominating the college scene. I'm older than most of your fans (38)and have seen you race even back in high school. Frankly, I would have been surprised to see you totally bust everyone's butt your real first year as a pro. I think you're right on track, and these little disappointments are necessary to become the complete runner you will surely become. I ran on a TAC (now USATF) with Jerry in high school, and he's very much the same guy now as he was then, i.e. he's a genuine kindhearted soul who is fiercely loyal and he will do what he believes is best for your development. I have no doubt that in the next 2 years (maybe in the next 2 months) you will be a sub 13:00 runner and have legitimate shots at 3K and 5K ARs. I know this because the disappointments do not seem to get you down, but instead motivate you. This a very mature approach. Too many young runners are hamstrung by their disappointments, but you're handling everything so well. Good luck the rerst of summer.

What is Jerry's philosophy on altitude training for you guys? Do you plan to train with any of the other world class athletes that live in Eugene?
