Yared Nuguse 7:38.11 - New Collegiate 3k record.

Formatting on that was wretched.

It starts with Lagat (3:26/3:30-1 at the time in 2010), 7:29, Kennedy 7:30 (Rupp 7:30i/3:50), Hill 7:30, Chelimo 7:31, Maree 7:33 (3:29), Solinsky, Goucher, Tegenkamp 7:34, Jager, True, Padilla 7:35, Scott 7:36, Spivey, Fisher, McGorty, Chapa, Heath 7:37

Nuguse solo’d a 7:46 in old spikes 2 years ago. Pretty sure he could run under 7:45.

7th all-time, American indoor 3k.

Rupp (7:30.16), Lagat, Hill, Heath, Bumbalough, Lomong ahead of this.

Another second faster and he would move to #4, which not running solo would do.

he ran 7:46 2 years ago solo in under armor spikes

So he maybe ran a 1 second PR. Assuming in 2020 he didn’t run in an early version of the Nike super shoes.

Just insane to me that anyone cares about a record going down by a second or two when you have shoes that are literally improve the majority of runs 3-4 seconds per mile.

That is simply so untrue, Guys run faster because:

A. They are older

B. These are all set up races

C. Guys are better

3:34 guys should run 7:38

Shocked he even showed up.

Is he still claiming to be an Olympian?

Curious if there’s a post i missed. So many people are upset about his injury at the Olympics, but does he go around claiming he’s an Olympian?

i don’t care either way, just trying to figure out where this comes from.

I find it hard to complain about shoes when guys are still not reaching times from the peak doping era.

even if you look at the best milers in the world, these guys are not hitting crazy times.

there is more information and therefore good coaching than ever before by 1000x. the internet is a bigger game changer than people think.

His arm action is hideous. Looks like he’s knitting a sweater. How does he run so fast with that?

The dorks from umiss like to troll every Yared post with this trash.

It's pretty obvious he's knitting a cardigan, not a sweater. You can see where he punched the button holes.  You must not have run at a high level or you would know about the fast- by-knitting approach to training.

To me, it looks like he is trying to put on a straight jacket!  Or maybe get out of one.

During the Oly Trials, didn't Nuguse say something to the effect of "if I don't make the Olympic team, it's okay - I'll just focus on becoming a doctor?"

This man is about to be the world's fastest doctor, hands down.

So your point is mechanical doping is slightly less effective than PEDs?

I doubt these new spikes are helping nearly as much as you people are claiming.

Cool - then dump the spikes. I have a pair from late 90s you can borrow. Brand new. And you won’t need to put an asterisk by your name.
