No new training. Cheptegei would run 12:50 in old shoes.

pre/post workout appropriate fueling
Faster recovery with strategic prehab

consistent PT
legs not as beat up with workouts in super shoes
Live high/train low
But hobby joggers are doing none of that but running faster in super shoes.

That’s 5 seconds a mile which means El Guerrouj could have run 3:38 with the new shoes.
Nothing absolutely new in the training world has come out. Double threshold has been popularized but it already existed in some form.
Pace lights have become more common in time trial races.
Running has just become more competitive at all levels. A whole lot more people are buying all in, in terms of training and lifestyle.
Running as a sport as it has continued to trend towards being a science versus an art.
From blue collar to lab coat.
Oh and i think that makes it worse.

Luis Grijalva credits his improvement from 13:02 to 12:52 to shoes. How do shoe deniers explain that?
4:20 is not that fast wrote:
Bekele 12:37 2004
Cheptegei 12:35 2020
What new training?
Key point: 2004
The 5000m world record was broken 7 times and lowered by 21 seconds between 1994 and 2004.
In 2004 the test for EPO was first used in earnest.
The 5000m record was broken 1 time and lowered by 2 seconds between 2004 and 2020. The 5000m record was broken in 2020*.
Can you read between the lines?
*According to WADA’s own figures, 2020 was the lowest number of anti-doping tests administered to athletes in the discipline/reporting category “Long Distance 3000m or greater” since WADA began reporting that statistic. 6,182 tests in 2020, down from 13,099 in 2019, a staggering reduction of over 52%.
