Cut a long story short: my brother (amateur runner, does it for fun, but wants to be the best he can and complete a half marathon in 2 hours. He started looking into strength and conditioning about a year ago and he got started on swings and single C & Ps.
He's interested in buying ETK but I am wondering, as it has (in effect) been superseded by S & S, is the RoP still seen as an excellent generalist S & C program?
As for why doesn't he do S & S: he is averse to get-ups because he smashed his left elbow joint to pieces (requiring surgery) 2 years ago, and it hurts on the 'roll up onto elbow' first part of the move, even with cushioning underneath.
Oh, and as well as using the 2 variety days for running, could he add (say) a day's easy running after the hard Rop day, giving 3 days of RoP and 3 days of running, per week?
