World Masters Champs 2024

I don't believe Jan has any intention to run any race this year. It's just a way that lets him talk about himself for a few months. When the Master's Championships is over, he will find something new to talk about that takes place in the distant future.

He is highly ego-orientated and bases his self-worth entirely on how he compares to others rather than on becoming a better version of himself. He is too mentally weak to show up and race without being able to look good in front of others.

In a few months, he will have some "injury" or something and act like he's upset he will not be able to compete. If he somehow makes it to the starting line, he will not finish and blame some injury to try and protect his ego. I'll be sure to quote this post later this summer when it's proven to be correct.

Will be so,so funny to remind you of this your post after the WC Masters in August.. 😎😁🤣😂🤣

Well, back to my training. Today I was on my feet 1 hours 50 min running 1min to 4 min reps moderate fast and then finish with 10 x short hill reps. Didn't feel so strong today but of course I ran 30 x short hill reps yesterday so not so strange. Will see if I need a restday tomorrow or I feel good again to run another 20-30 x short hill reps. On Thursday the time trial 4 min 1000m on treadmill will happen. Time for some sleep here ...😴🧙🏼‍♂️🖐😴

It's tomorrow! How are you going to approach this, Janne? Early time trial before work or later in the day? Are you going for an easy run today or rest?

There's been a rash of deleted posts, but I believe one of those had Jan saying that today (Wednesday) was a rest day. He compared it to the lead-up to a big race, LOL. No idea what the mods are doing with all the deletions, but at least one of the removed ones had more Jan lies about how he supposedly coaches African elites (he does not, of course).

So good riddance to that debris in the thread, and we shall see what Jan self-reports for tomorrow. I don't expect any sort of verifiable results, since Jan tends to be very evasive. But IMHO, covering 1000m in 4:00 on a treadmill right now will be much easier than 5000m outdoors in 20:00 in August.

I say that because even though Jan has all year to train, actual training requires integrity which he has not shown. Also, he apparently believes that he does *not* have a weight problem. That's the real deal-breaker for 5000m.
