Subject: RE: Kellogism vs Coeism
Body:

i'm not a coach & no real interest in such

however, it is obvious what coeism is all about :

weight-training, especially the legs for a 800/1500 guy - meaning leg press

from '78 - '81 included, i doubt his hypothetical 3k potential was outside 7'30 - 7'35 ( little change albeit nearer quicker end of range in '81 )

in '78 i reckon he was

~ 47.1 / 1'43.6

in '79 i reckon he was

~ 46.2 / 1'42.1

in '81 i reckon he was

~ 45.7 / 1'41.3

these all yield 7'30 - 7'35 potential ( albeit '81 is quicker )

key is simply improved speed which brought all this about :

little change in aerobic ability ( may have even backed off the mileage by '81 ) but immense anaerobic improvement ( more than compensating for loss of aerobicism for "short" events like 800/1500 ) thru weights - meaning leg press

lesson is there to be learnt, especially for kenyan 800 guys

don't bother chasing even further aerobic gains if you are already highly developed in that area ( most are )

hit the leg press

the improved strength/speed will more than compensate for the small aerobic loss & you can slash big chunks off the 800

you obviously need an experienced strength coach for this...
