I stopped a while back. At the time it seemed a lot of his posts were negative. He said something like (paraphrasing) “If you’re not in a world class coaching programme, don’t question me.” He posts something and Jeroen Swart asks a polite question and gets blocked. I would say Team UAE are operating at world class level.
He had a few pops and Iñigo San Millan too.

Is there much science involved with ‘you need to train an absolute crap ton’?

and not waste time with crap
I know @explorerJC will love the generalisation of this, but it was from an old team mate when i took tri marginally seriously before coaching. We were talking about running and he said, if you are serious about running faster, lose some weight and just run more, run most fairly easy, run a few bits a little faster maybe if you feel like it. When you get to 40miles a week regularly then maybe you can start to worry about the rest

I had similar conversations when people talked about Triathlon and Ironman. People would be ‘wow I don’t know how you train for a Tri/Ironman’.
Me - just SBR consistently.
Me - just do more SBR for an Ironman.
Me - it’s not rocket science.

up to a point that is correct…
there is something called the ‘evolutionary’ bottleneck…if you acn do that and survive, then that’s cool. however, an increasinly larger number of people can’t and so need an alternative structure to follow/be guided by…

100 is a nice round, and impressive number.

I knew you’d be in 
and I agree, but the sentiment was stop worrying about what speed 400 reps to the second and how many when you are not running nearly enough which I still kind of agree with, although many adults i coach struggle with that idea when they first come to me thinking a coach will have that one session that turns them into Alex Yee in 4 weeks.

I was at a talk given by Ian Stewart many years ago. Old school 10,000m runner, he said running 100 mile weeks is easy. 10 miles every morning before work, a few 6 mile interval or fartlek session in the evening and 20 miles at the weekend.
