Kerr broken 1:40 800 in practice (1:15 600 and 25)

"...like many MD guys, the anaerobic burst of the start would probably be a massive cost and would compromise him a lot...."

Wtf does this pseudoscience BS talk mean? Why do people talk & use fancy words like this where they don't actually make sense?

He has poor explosiveness & acceleration compared to sprinters. Done. All you need to say.

Probably a touch slower than Jackson Spencer. But Jackson had an advantage as he ran 1:51 for an 8 a bit before his 400m anchor.

yo dawg, he meanz that the nature of the block start and systems it involves would take more out of him than the sprinterz and have more of an effect later in the race. this wld negatively affect his time. hope tht clearz it up 4 u.

Did Miller just run 1:14/ 25 low??!!

Albuquerque elevation is worth a second also.

Yaa. Both Miller and Kerr ran well and the altitude is sufficient to have an effect. I think Kerr is right to be pleased. Miller should be able to go 1:42 later.

Kerr looks like he is in PR shape but that's not the same as "222"... I simply don't believe he can do that.

Forget to add... Miller's comments to Kerr about range showed some surprise. BM really expected to smoke Kerr in that session but he was right on his bvtt all the way.

Yeah sorry it was a tough day at the gas station as I typed that up during a smoko break.

As someone else pointed out it actually doesn't mean he has poor explosiveness and acceleration at all this comment was directed at something that I guess was too complex for you to wrap your head around. For that I sincerely apologize.

But stay angry champion!

Correct. you can run into reps as a distance runner because what matters is the sustained effort over the repetition.

How is a start "anaroebic"? You're at rest. You body has all the oxygen it needs, and is moving oxygen as efficiently as possible to all your muscles. Ample O2 supply. The literal opposite of what the term "anaroebic" means in physiology lol. Where do you think the phosphate groups that allow the PCr system to function come from, magic? Or perhaps from ATP generated during oxidative phosphorylation with that ample O2 as a terminal electron acceptor?

It still literally makes no sense 😂, its jargon from a non-expert that gets claps/upvotes from the below 60 IQ seals lol.

And yes, he does, factually, have a way worse explosiveness and acceleration than a 800 or 400 guy. That's why he runs the 1500. Would love to see an argument against that. Just watch the tape of what BM did to him lol.

In 1990's I ran a 500m with a standing start in 1:01.3 than 200m jog/walk recover, and ended with 300m in 36.0. That's still DEFINITELY not a sub 1:40 800m and neither was Kerr's.

You get no conversion for a 600. You’d get converted up for 200. Still great workout.
