Or maybe the shoes don’t really work the way you think it does with the same spread from 1st to 20th. All this is just imaginary conjecture. It could also just shorten the spread at the tail end while the front end remains unchanged and make you fall for it thinking the shoes did nothing. You have no data to back up what you say whereas there is already hard data that radiation is also harmful to healthy people such as athletes and not just people with illnesses. People who were ill were first healthy previously so there is a clear causation seen between increased dosimetry of radiation and increased falling ill after being healthy previously.
Most people on here are far leftists one track ponies who are only able to think 1 dimensional. Throw them a curveball explanation and they become gassed. RF is the last thing they will never understand so while I appreciate your speaking out the truth Rojo has already taken the lead and admit defeat. There is nothing you can do about it. We will live in this and die together in this. We have been baited and hooked and there is no turning back. We are just that asinine species unfortunately.
Rojo haven’t said anything about emfs. I know because I’m a supporters club member for the last 5 years. Rojo has not denied that ever increasing emfs are the real reason for multiple seemingly unexplainable gaps in elite distance performances since 1896 the year Olympic sport was logged and tracked. The AC came out before that around 1890 and DC earlier in the 1850s and came radio in the 1910s and that was the beginning of all sorrow and misery for human civilisation. Gaps and unrest started forming not only in sport but also in medicine and health, crime rates, family and the social tolls.
Rojo if you are reading this be polite and courteous enough to clarify your actual stance on this phantom emf epidemic.
When synthetic tracks first came out would you really expect WRs to be broken the first year? No you wouldnt. Besides "synthetic" tracks weren't anythng you know. It was mostly rubberized asphalt. An asphalt base, ground rubber tires mixed with gooey tar poured and pressed on top. Its utility was for it's durability not performance. The sh!t melted in the heat and stuck to your feet. While it was more durable than cinders or clay the inside lane wore down to the asphalt base making a distinct clacking sound as you ran.
Its not as though there was a massive flip from cinders to tartan and other iterations all at once. It occurred over years and years.
Even with indoor tracks synthetic tracks were generally at only a few universities. Most of your big invitational events were on 160 yard board tracks that were assembled just for a single event. When I was on a recruiting trip to Brown U. I saw a board track that was about 120 yards. Crazy. The NCAAs were held at Cobo Arena in Detroit annually. Literally, 2x6 or 2x8 boards with NO plywood surface and not even a painted surface, just like running through a lumber yard.
It would help your understanding of track history if you peruse images of vintage track races. A lot of typical LRC misinformation here like what you've posted.
Why not? When millrose laid a new track surface world records tumbled like a heap of dominos. .
When Millrose first laid down a synthetic surface over the 160y boards there were NOT records falling like dominos. It was still notoriously slow. Heck, Bekele ran a 4:03 there.
Only when they finally laid down a new, permanent, tuned and banked synthetic 200m track in a new location did the meter move. That's the fact, Jack!
Yet the twits on letsrun say its the doping. A massive conspiracy involving hundreds keeping it secret? Sure ... Get a grip.

Why should he respond to your Twilight Zone lunacy sh!t?
"Don't go Rojo ... the book "To Serve People" ... it's a cookbook!"
thank you as I am a valid member of this LetsRun community as we are all valid members as this is the UNITED States of America as that's where LetsRun was created as Rojo said what he LOVES about this board is free speech as other places don't have it

You haven't engaged in the topic at all. In fact I cannot think of any thread in which you've ever contributed content. All you have done is mock Rojo for his propensity to lead phrases with the word "as". You've done this literally a thousand times. Grow up. As in a ton.

This is simply dead wrong. I have spent decades working with top athletes, many of whom have broken records and have won medals at major championships and they have all cared about doing it the right way and not going outside the rules set forth by World Athletics, the Iaaf before it, and anti doping authorities.
You don't know the athletes who are doping. They wouldn't tell you if they were. If clean athletes are winning and setting the records by beating those who dope then doping doesn't work. Really?
Please tell us how you imagine a doping programme begins for an athlete. Because I can say with absolute certainty that you haven’t got a clue. Have you been physically present for even a single anti doping test?
You imagine that everyone is a bold faced liar. That every athlete of note is somehow all inducted into a grand conspiracy early in their career and that every athlete, coach and manager are complicit in this and that, incredibly, no one has any qualms or moral fortitude and no one blows the whistle on this vast network of lies. It’s beyond absurd.
So I ask you again, please tell us how this all works, since you seem to know this world of professional athletics better than myself. What’s the procedure? Give us the details on how every young talent is indoctrinated into being a fraud for the rest of their careers, with specific steps and examples, if you would please be so kind.

If you have caught any dopers and asked them you should know how they do it and how it begins. They are the first evidence that it happens. Then we have the fact that most dopers aren't caught, as WADA says, because they are ahead of detection. You can add to that the confidential athlete surveys that show doping is right through elite and championship level sport - possibly 1 in 2 athletes at that level - and the practise has been identified in all sports in all countries and from schools to seniors. This is reinforced by the data from antidoping about the huge amounts of money spent world-wide on peds. Since only 1% of tests return a positive what you see is only a drop in the bucket.
You don't know the athletes who are doping. They wouldn't tell you if they were. If clean athletes are winning and setting the records by beating those who dope then doping doesn't work. Really?
Your logic is faulty.
A clean athlete with 3:27 potential can beat a doped athlete who before doping could run 3:35 and doped 3:30 See? It's simple. But you have think you know better than those involved in the sport at the highest level.
An athlete who runs 3:27 isn't clean. The difference in ability between the very best athletes is very small. Doping will make a difference. That's why they do it.
You don't know the athletes who are doping. They wouldn't tell you if they were. If clean athletes are winning and setting the records by beating those who dope then doping doesn't work. Really?
This is simplistic logic. Doing drugs doesn't guarantee you will beat any drug free athlete. I'm certain there are thousands of marathon runners on drugs that would be smoked by a drug free Kipchoge and Bekele.
If you take athletes of near equivalent ability the doped athlete will beat the clean athlete. That is why top athletes dope. At their level the differences between them are fractional.

I might add that I have read accounts by college athletes who have had "the talk" from their coaches and physio that if they want to get to the highest level they have to do what everyone else does at that level. I have been told by a professional coach that another coach (well known in the sport) said to one of his athletes - "you won't make it if you don't dope".

It’s bekele he can run on any surface and he can sandbag as and when he wants and you can’t really be very sure he ran only 4:03 due to a synthetic surface that you think is of poorer quality. But there is incontrovertible surety that microwave radiation is bad for healthy and unhealthy athletes. This is a scientific fact that is reproducible and measurable. Your opinion about synthetic tracks and how fast it may result in fast times is too easily falsifiable as the current instance of a newly laid track in millrose has immediately resulted in world record times. I’ll stick to the science which is far more developed for radiation matters than for how fast newly laid synthetic track surfaces lead to world records. Radiation exposure affects performances across the board and this is a done fact.
