World Masters Champs 2024

Whats wrong with you? I have never told I was world top elite. I was at Swedish national elite 6th in the Swedish marathon champs and 7th in the Swedish 10000m Champs. One Swedish Masters Champs XC gold. That´s called to be an elite runner by most running knowledgeable people.

What is wrong with you? You said you were elite. You are not elite when you finish 12 minutes behind the true elite in a marathon. Not when you almost get lapped in a 5000m race.

6th and 7th? I know of a guy who was national champion in 2:24 when the best in the country were running under 2:10
Most knowledgeable people would call you a very good amateur or, if generous, a sub-elite athlete. But you are not knowledgeable.

Again what's wrong with you? Jonny Danielsson and Kjell-Erik Ståhl were at the world top runners!

Could he beat Greta Waitz or Ingrid Kristainsen?

Jan ,

6th or 7th at the Swedish championship is not elite . You were a decent club runner that cracked the top 10 a few times. You were not even the best in your club. And your master SM title was decades ago so don’t even try to pretend your a good master runner now. 2:22 in Stockholm marathon is average ….are you even in the top 100 statistically for a Swede ?

Again, what's wrong with you? You claimed to be elite. You were not.

Interestingly, Stahl and Stensson have very similar 5000/10,000 PB's. Stensson 29:50, Stahl 29:40.

Stahl of course had a 2:10:00, and 4th in W.C., but J.S's 2:22 is hardly representative of his true ability. He should have been 2:12:00-2:16:00.

Jan's times are his times. You don't get to go back and change them after the fact. Much less subtract TEN MINUTES -- are you out of your freaking mind?! Just stop with the public infatuation, and keep that to yourself. You look silly enough as it is already.

12x1k at 2:49-2:53 with a minute rest is way too fast for Sammy, especially at threshold effort. But then again, I think you’re lying about that workout because his race times show he can’t run that workout, even if he ran it all out.

When is your 1k time trial? Will it be before or after “Emma” runs a race or Sammy runs a race without an excuse?

Sammy's own words after 12 x 1000m threshold 2:49-2:53 and 60 sec rest ; " It was a pace I could hold without straining at all... "

You believe anything anyone tells you, as long as it makes you feel good about yourself.

Well,I have pictures from the workout threshold interval at my facebook wall and I have every rep with exact time on pictures from Sammy's watch .....he is a man you can trust 100%. He was the very first Kenyan I coached back in 2015 when my successful Dancan system coaching started. Everyone wants Magic Dancan system online coaching just send me a message. Welcome!

I saw the picture. I believe Sammy, I don't think he is lying to you. But it's true that you will believe anything that anyone tells you that makes you look good.
The matter here is the "It was a pace I could hold without straining at all..." bit. If that were true he would be in (using Ghost1's expression) monster shape.
You are always hyping his workouts but the results never appear. Why is that?

"Everyone wants Magic Dancan system online coaching just" think if you want to get slower. It works like magic for that!

Sammy really has been so,so unlucky many times in his now nine years with me . His training now points to he is approching great shape again ( like when he won the Mully's half in Kenya and 5000 dollars first prize). His shape was really the same as now in the last months of 2022 when he ran the Kiisumu half and told it felt great in the leading group until a motorbike hit his leg from behind and left him to a long time have to recover back to running. We were really afraid his running career was over then. His real age is now 34 and he has still alot of races to look forward to...... His training now points to a shape possible to run a sub 62 min half and a sub 2;10 marathon if fast races in Europe. If I see he 100% is capable of sub 2:10 in the last months of this year I will fix a start in Valencia marathon for him.

Wish everyone reader of this a Happy Weekend! Cheers! :)

*sigh*
I wish Sammy all the best. I wish he could find a local, dedicated coach.

Truer words were never spoken, Jan. Surprising to hear them from you. Sammy has indeed been so very unlucky to get involved with you. He could have achieved so much more with a capable coach.

As for your empty promises about "fix a start" (whatever that means) for Valencia, I suggest you just quit while you're behind as far as Sammy's racing. We all remember how it worked out last time.

This is just empty words from you without substance ....... I advice you to take contact with Sammy and you will be told how pleased Sammy is with my coaching of him and my Dancan system for him and used by all his team runners with very good results to e.g Emmanuel running 2:08 marathon and lately a female 5th place in Singapore marathon.Without the Dancan method they had not been that successful.The Dancan system is super effective to runners at all levels. Welcome to magic coaching! 🇸🇪🧙🏼‍♂️🇸🇪

Thank you great wizard. We are many here wish you continued success.Could you give some more input in details of your dancan method please ?

How is it "super effective" coaching for you to turn Sammy from a 2:14 runner into a 2:19 runner? It sounds more like you ruined his career. How is it "super effective" for you to guide Phil and Slava into failure on this board? That sounds more like incompetence.

Also, you never coached anyone to a 2:08 marathon. Stop lying.

On the other hand, if you have more to share on your training for the world masters games (only 6 months away), please do. Have you been doing any more tiny little trotting sessions? Have you discovered the existence of the treadmill? Or do you just prefer to fall back on the excuse of ice and snow for your lack of actual training?
