So someone's knowledge is meaningless unless they are the strongest/fastest at whatever they study? That's absurd.

But, hes telling me how to run it, how to condition my body for it, what I should be doing, what I shouldn't & I ask him "What are you running in the 40" have you tested the methods & got great results personally???... Response; Never timed myself********************... I don't know if its just my single minded mentally that its my or the highway or if its just the alarm bells ringin' in my head.
Yes.

So your methods worked for you, that doesn't mean that different methods couldn't also work better. The methods that the coaches/trainers are pushing work and are proven through trial and error as well, on a much larger group of athletes than just you. You may have gotten by on natural talent but a good coach will be able to get even more out of you.
