How is Lagat still dropping fast times @ age 39?

lagat must be on so many drugs right now to keep that youth he's not even human

I can explain.

Lagat does (per his website):

- low mileage (100% agreed on in the CrossFit community)

- incorporates FULL OUT sprints with little rest (Tabata/Crossfit style, if you will)

- heavy weights once per week

- clean diet (paleo like), however, he doesn't eat enough

In other words, if Lagat were to reduce his mileage even more, up his calorie intake and strength train a 2nd time per week, he could be one STRONG MF.

Lagat has a website?? care to provide a link?

I have heard just about enough of your drivel, there is zero way he is doing Tabata workouts for his running workouts. Secondly any depreciating mileage crossed with increased intensity on a proper base will return results see... Tapering you clown. Clean diet is not paleo, paleo was hip 10 million years ago then we had the ice age, the agricultural revolution, the bronze, and dark ages and industrial era. You want to swing from trees and eat like a baboon be my guest but don't call it science. Lastly not everything can be improved with crossfit, take your best marathon time while running daily, if you ever have, then stop cold turkey go bowling, disc golfing and hop scotching for 15 weeks 5x a week toss in copious amounts of selfies for documentation sake and maybe pick up some calf socks. Go run the marathon again. Stick to your wod board and planning your next tattoo.

funny how you guys think

last race =retirement

he planned to compete during 05 but couldn't due to injury and hadn't retired

tell me how

.KIM Collins is running the times he is.

when for afew years his times were going south .

.or DWAIN chambers

.0R WHERE GALEN RUPP GOT HIS KICK or have you forgot

2011 where just had the one gear .(and gw501516)

.OR WHY FARAH is able to drop that 1500 time

.or why rupp is doing same now.

.or simply various sprint events

.or 17 year olds nearly going sub 10 for 100m

.or dibaba and florence

.go on and on

.the common denominator is speed where very hard to

have it in such setting previously ,i.e effects of

distance running or old age or very young .

Blah blah blah. He never raced after '04 because he just wasn't into it anymore.

Herb Elliot also trained frequently after his retirement but he was done too.

YES WE HAVE A WINNER .

THE LIGHTNESS igf-1 lr3

the most important PEPTIDE in sport since EPO.

You could be absolutely right that he is dopped up but how do you explain him escaping all the testing today? Is the stuff he is on only privy to him and his team or is anyone else on it?

not just athletics ,tennis (certain obvious female player and others giving excuses like going glutein free),

soccer .

enhanced nervous system peak cycle (why called what is)

like get from chronic dht steroid cycle but without sides .

change muscle fibre over to faster type ,and on ,slow but gauranteed over time.

not been tested for is a big plus ......why ......

if can combine with steroids/testosterone perfect combo

better than chronic steroid use again without its unwanted

effects that ultimatly take away from enhancement ,stressed kidneys ,liver , etc .

Well I'm 39 and running the best times of my life. of course I've only been running for 4 years and have a mile PR of 5:20. But no drugs, lol.

Serously though, it is probably that he is just a physiological outlier when it comes to "slowing with age." There is no reason why your endurance / strength needs to decrease by 39 (see Gebresellasie). Typically your max speed and recoverabilty decrease with age. Since he runs lower milage and 1x per day, he still recovers enough. I know that Lagat takes 4-6 weeks completely off (in a row!) from running every year which is an odd practice for elites. Perhaps this somehow helps him keep his speed?

Drugs not especially likely in his case since they would have to be max speed enhancing drugs (i.e. anabolic steroids) which are easy to detect and he hardly looks like he is loading up on muscle.

Madmandoc

sorry bud ,but if you are 39 need to WAKE UP !!!

SHOULD HAVE SOME WORLDLY WISENESS BY THE NOW ..

NOTHING PERSONAL #

GEBRESELLASIE is not a great example ,someone who'es

body has been saved serious stressor's by way of massive

EPO USE IN 1990's then from 2001/2002 discovered MICERA

LIKE BEKELE AND HAD THAT LATE career resurgense .

until now where back on the epo wagon with what he can get away with .

DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO A WORD I SAID ,

where did i mention seriouS steroids use was involved

AND rarely have i seen chronic use ,let 39/38 year olds

elite track (not field) athletes perform like this .

some low level testosterone maybe but

i SAID THE LIGHTNESS ........

again THE LIGHTNESS , A F**KING PEPTIDE .

WAKE TO THE LIGHTNESS .

EVEN CHRONIC STEROID USE AT LATER YEARS WILL SAVE YOUR SPEED BUT THIS WILL ,IF CAN MAINTAIN IT YEAR AFTER YEAR .

How did Davis Ortiz become Barry Bonds at the height of his PED use in the 2013 World Series at the age of (at least) 38?

But ARod is the bad guy?

SORRY SHOULD HAVE SAID " WILL NOT SAVE YOUR SPEED"

AT END THERE , TYPING TO FASSSTTTT.

JUST SAW THAT POST ,

DID YA READ MY POST SERIOUS ELITE TRACK ATHLETES

IN THE VERY LATE 30'S IS UNHEARD OF .

THE FINE FACETS OF NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE going south BY THEN.

no matter how great recovery or longevity is .

FIELD OR STRENGTH BASED VARIETIES DIFFERENT MATTER

ADD 5/6 YEARS MAYBE

at time i did suspect ortiz had discovered THE LIGHTNESS ....

STRENGTH may stay well well into 40,s but that

fine motor neuron function at bat will disappear

and it is only getting better with him

something is up and look no further than his pharmacist.

"Topic "Igf 1 lr3" was discussed 1,793 times on 19 sites in last 3 months"

Lagat is taking enough drugs to keep us all young!

proof - his character, like american presidents, he just lies and lies and lies, after a while you believe it, just like obama, clintons, and bushes

Just think what he'll do at age 40.
