    From his Facebook page, in reference to his new article in the CrossFit Journal:

    Lon Kilgore
    I just noted that there was an editorial addition to the final manuscript I had not seen. In the text it says I recommend taking a running certification under Dr. Romanov. That was added by the editorial staff not me. I don't know Dr. Romanov's work enough to recommend for or against taking a course under him. I had observed Brian McKenzie's CF certification first hand and saw some rather striking results.

    Slimy bastards indeed. I would have been very surprised and diappointed to see Lon Kilgore recommending Pose running (a pile of BS, IMO). Thanks for the heads up.

    a comment:

    Anyway, I share your experience with the Pose advocates. The argument becomes circular with the perception changed to suit the belief.
    Hmmm... sounds familiar!

    This doesn't surprise me at all. It is unfortunate that egos and money have blinded the management of CF. Many people at my local CF are getting "Level One" certified...I would refuse to attend, even if it was free of charge, just on principle.

    And the sequence of deny/shift blame/close and disappear the thread has begun...

    Would they have "corrected the mistake" had Dr. Kilgore remained silent?

    How does Lynne Pitts know what Dr. Kilgore has communicated (or not) to the Journal editors? Secondly, notice how she burdens him with the responsibility for taking appropriate action, when it is someone else's mistake. I hate when people do that.

    It's a variation on the old notion that the King can do no wrong.

    A typo is a mistake. An endorsement inserted into an article for a certification that's not selling well without the author's knowledge or permission is not a fucking mistake.
