Salazar talks about finding a balance within the Oregon Project’s progressive training methodology. He discusses how many of the training systems and regiments his athletes partake in are new or ahead-of-their-time, but because of this, Salazar can’t always decide objectively (or scientifically) what tactics work and what tactics don’t; if Salazar can’t see any benefit in trying something new just to try something new, then he probably won’t go ahead with it.
