PM - lunchtime run with Richie - easy 8-9 miles on a pleasant afternoon around the Carillon office park and Feathersound.  Good running and training conversation.  Richie is going to be working with a coach online in his training with an old teammate and later coach when he was in college named Scott Simmons.   Richie reconnected with him in NYC over the weekend that the marathon did not happen.  Scott started the American Distance Project (or ADP) in the last year or so and has had some good success over the years in coaching - most recently two of his female runners were 12th and 14th in the Olympic Trials.  Richie ran with them when he was in NYC.  

When we were doing our workout yesterday he mentioned the Scott was connected with "some guy" named Canova.  And I said, Renato Canova?  And Richie said, yeah, I think so....

Well I did not realize how connect his old coach and teammate was in the running world.  His website lists Canova as one of the coaches - and that Simmons was mentored by Joe Vigil.  I imagine some of the folks on this blog may know him or know of him.

So today, I took video of Richie (and he of me) to send to Simmons to analyze his form etc.  We then had a nice run.

That's a tight circle of some coaches who really know their stuff!
