Hey NY
From what I read Dolan does work very hard. Darn hard! Having said that, from what I read and hear Tom Wilkins’s workouts are pure legend and off the planet tough....and the Australian distance guys have been grinding out workouts at distances that are beyond most of our comprehension, and they have been swimming those workouts for years.
