I received an update from an m2 Alumni Andy Loeb.  Andy is in the military and 
was coached by me a couple of years back when he was based in Okinawa.  Like most 
all of my athletes, Andy has a computrainer and a finite number of hours during
which to train. 

His results speak for themselves; very fast times at very competitive races with
athletes vying for Kona spots.

I think that one of the reasons people find it difficult to believe one can race
so well at IM distance with much fewer training hours is that their only training
frame of reference is one where they see themselves doing the less of their existing
training.  

In order to train less and get better results, there has to be an underlying method
that has been tried, tested, and proven.  Such a method will not be found in any
of the generic books and programs that populate the airwaves these days.

Now I just have to institute some kind of royalty fee where ongoing application
of my program and the results it generates helps m2 pay the mortgage!

"Hey Michael,
I'm the guy from Okinawa that you coached a couple of years ago.  I am now
living in Germany near Frankfurt.  I am now in the 55-59 age group.  To bring
you up to date, I did IM Germany in July.  I got 3rd with a 10:36, but it wasn't
good enough to qualify.  I then did Canada 6 weeks later and got a 2nd with a 
10:41 (missed 1st by 8 seconds) which was good enough for a Hawaii slot.
 
I was retired, but am now working again over here.  Because of that I am training 
even less than before--about 10-12 hours per week.  Proof that, as you said, "Less 
is More."
Thanks, Andy Loeb
