ryun's splits :
were by "accident" rather than design http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkTPCspfwCI ill & on top that a 1'50 in his legs from just 3 hours before obviously, healthy & rested ( no prelim ), he wouda gone helluva lot quicker than 1'44.4 ( 1'44.9y ) i've read it was primitive semi-synthetic track made by grasstex ( tyre shavings + some detritus combo, to allow racing in rain ( "all-weather" track ), rather than any conscious effort to make a faster track ) offer him 1s compared to '70s synthetic ( instead of 2s for normal dirt ) + 1s for not being ill/1'50 prelim & you gotta believe that was low-1'42 at worst he was much stronger/faster in '67 when he smashed his 1500pb by 2.5s ( & that was shit race, jogging for 300m before taking off in 95F ) that's a reason i reckon high/mid-1'40 shape in '67 Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
