BTC has a 3-strike rule in their coaching. If you don't do exactly as your told 3 times, you get kicked out. I don't think that's a healthy approach as it completely ignores the mental portion of running, which can be very tough at an elite level. Also, since closing their Fleet Feet Store, free fun runs seem to have been reduced or disappeared altogether. Troop seems to be moving into sport event planning as his business now. The team has some "issues" I know of through meeting some of them over the years. And finally, this is really unsettling knowing the lack of empathy in that group http://www.dailycamera.com/news/boulder/ci_31659542/boulder-pro-runner-jonathan-grey-takes-own-life
