I think he was a runner in his previous life.

I was simply suggesting that TG calling LS's rise into world class triathlon results "self coached" isn't correct; most especially as it's being applied in this type of discussion of:

-hire a coach

OR

-do your own research/workout planning/analysis



LS had advisor/coach/mentor even early on in his pro career (it's well documented who he initially worked with when he came to tri....the info is all out there even on ST). Maybe not in the role of controlling every workout, but this idea that LS came up with everything on his own accord, no way in hell.
