coapman:
I don't know very much about Carmichael as I'm sure you don't either. Ever met or talked to him??? You say you have read and disagreed with his training advice.
You also love to bag on Noel saying he is dodging questions. Here's a question for you to answer (don't dodge it): How is it you know so much about Carmichael??? What is the source of your information???
Since you can analyze a cycling coach at the highest level and find fault with him, you should certainly be able to provide some simple training advice to some of the members here on this board.
Step up "coach."
Your criticism is fit for a portable toilet. As far as excising mistruths and shining the light of correctness, you repeat the same tired jabs over and over and over like a broken record.
"Intellectual" discourse??? Hardly. When will you actually start to say something???
I don't know Noel, but at least he has ideas about something, and for that alone I have respect for him. Whether or not he backs them up is a separate issue. At least he's trying to say something. What is there to respect about you??? What are your ideas???
You and your coach love to talk about science and studies. You should be aware that all science begins with an observation. Since you know so much, why not step up and put something on the line for others to analyze???
Perhaps you are working off a debt for your coach by piping in when it gets too hot for him. He's here to make money, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's his business. However, your biased comments go beyond tacky.
It's funny how you state "And btw, Ric is a far better coach than Carmicheal could ever hope to be." Really??? You and your coach love to bag on others who don't have a study to support their observations. Since you both live by studies, do you have any "peer reviewed" data to support that claim???
If not, I guess it's not true.
