yeah i wonder as well renato if i understand you correcly above the 2 hard workouts say 2000 reps and something harder there is also a verry hard run in it.Or are there more hard runs in your weekly program for them? DDO they alsod o any recovery running?
And i was curious(wrote a thread) how would you train a triathlete?

Yup the Americans are on their way back in the 5k/10k with their return to high mileage. Webb, Lagat, Hall, Fam...........all with lots of success off of high mileage programs. Oh wait.......
The Americans are on the way back because the druggies are now afraid to get caught. I am not knocking our guys, they are doing fine but the only reason the Kenyans, Moroccans, and Epothians got ahead of us in the first place was because of drugs like epo...with a clean, level playing field the Americans can beat anybody! Just ask Frank Shorter, Bill Rogers, Marty Liquori, Craig Virgin, Steve Scott, Jim Ryun, and Dave Wottle....Do any of you Kenyan Drug Lovers really think that a guy like Frank Shorter would not have run 2:06 juiced up on epo? But Frank had too much integrity to cheat, he just ran 140 miles a week after week. Sadly, he got beat by East German fraud and drug star Cierpinski.
How ironic that someone that has OBVIOUSLY been smoking (and/or injecting) SOMETHING is the self-proclaimed spokesperson for US innocence with regards to PEDs.

i think that is a rather bold statement. why do kenyan youths run so much faster than americans? ive been to kenya and have seen several high school kids run 14:40 and under for 5k at 8,000 ft and these kids arent the super stars there. i met these 6 runners in kenya trying to break out so they could leave the country. they were 13:30 type 5k runners and were sleeping 3 to a bed. how could these guys afford the drugs? im remembered by an interview that said a lot of top kenyans will do workouts back home and some no name local guy will keep up with them. are these guys juiced? yes, drugs are definately out there but from what ive seen, kenyans work much harder than americans. on a level playning field, things wouldnt be that much different than they are now.
It might be useful at this point to read Bob Kennedy's interview (Mensracing) on hw life on the Euro circuit changed vis-avis science and intuition.
