contradicts himself also “it takes year to be able to handle the volume of a TDf” … 1 sentence later “riding at 12mph for 3 weeks isnt a challenge”
yer ok you avg 12 mph going up multiple mountains in a day.
I thought one of the markings of a good coach is to have empathy with their athletes, not belittle anyone that cant go as fast as he once did many years ago
He doesn’t do empathy
I can’t imagine why anyone would want him as their coach.
He wasn’t even a particularly fast pro, Plenty of AGers like @Chriswim are faster than he has ever gone
Raymundo thinking he’s some super coach again by putting down “The Lion” videos. I guess that’s why he has “100’s of athletes”
He really is the worst coach out there. I am not convinced about his program, however, the total lack of empathy and massive arrogance means that he it totally unsuitable to coach
The red flag , well there’s been a few, but he said something along the lines of "i had it all worked out by '96 and posted a photo of himself. Any half decent coach will tell you, no one has it “all worked out” , you are also improving and learning, and how can you have it worked out for all athletes, even those you’ve never met.
Thing is there will be people on those groups that think “he knows what he is talking about as he went sub 9”. I doubt he is even formally qualified, even basic.
Jezza on IMJsub10 again with a succinct reply to a half decent article, all be it coach spam, about breathing/Oxygen
“That is dumb”
thank you for that inciteful response Jezza
Raymundo posting his sessions now, and he had the audacity to slag off “The Lion” 
10x25 all out off 10secs, not all out then is it sunshine…oh and a 49minute easy run that was 153tss
The TSS numbers are all over the place - clearly his athletes have their zones set incorrectly. I would have thought that this was pretty fundamental for a coach
I love that he takes offense at another coach questioning his Swim Tabata, I think that Ray has some anger issues 
Interesting my swim set today was very similar to his Swim Tabata set
Only his are 12seconds full of shit, holding 12seconds off 10secRI for 30x25 needs to go to Paris next year as a distance freestyler
ETA, clearly a troll, apparently thats a recovery swim
OK I’ve called him out in a round about way, his 30*25 off 10seconds is a faster pace than the current mens 800m scm world record (I will bring that up the next snarky reply he makes). Hell; even holding that for 200m would have him winning the Elite Nationals last year (1:44)
He’s no doubt a fairly decent athlete; for an age grouper, but a well below average pro. He swims around 48-50mins so is a decent triathlete/Ironman swimmer, but that doesnt equate to repping a set of 30 * 25’s at 800m WR pace.
He’s also got a LOT of DNF’s on the run to his name 
Does Raymond get ‘trolled’ or challenged much?
Even that’s more believable than his 30*25 off 10 seconds @ faster than 800m WR pace
Doesn’t seem to but its all just coach spam these days on there.
Let’s not be hasty using that as the measure of a person’s character 
I’m tempted to suggest he would have been financially and mentally better off getting a ‘proper job’ and doing Tri as a hobby like the rest of us 
but to be fair he “ONLY” does marathon distance
Last time I checked, you weren’t giving it large on IMJ 
True. I’m a pretty big deal in my house though.
That’s what you think mate. LO thinks otherwise. She knows she’s the alpha!
