It was raining cats and dogs, so yes, it was indeed shocking that nobody was wearing sunglasses.

Lactate testing has given results.
Compressions socks makes people worse runners?
Who wears arm warmers when you have a jacket on?
Who wears sunglasses in the rain?
Do you know what shoes they are wearing?
They were probably all born in altitude.
Whites are genetically worse runners than africans, and richer. Of course they are going to use the best methods of recovering.
It's not normal to wear ipod when you are training together with other guys on a track.
Plenty of a normal track and field session, everywhere in the world. You love what is normal, why do we need to know this?
As for you Alphaz, are you really a kenyan ehhh?

If using something that is "Rupp certified" makes me as fast as Rupp, I´d sure as hell use it.
Why don´t you start to use all those "primitive Kenyan methods" and shock other American runners?
Why just not go one step further and run barefoot NO SPIKES ;D

I appreciate the point that you're trying to make, and I agree that we tend to overcomplicate training. Maybe we are insecure about ourselves and our training, and therefore, feel the need to compensate w/ technology.
What sets the Kenyans apart, however, is not the lack of gadgets (any kenyan that has raced internationally has a Garmin) but pure belief in their training, their coaches, and themselves.

For instance if you are using a lot of gadgets like heart monitors... no doubt you will be a moron!
Yeah, for instance that Paula Radcliffe - such a moron!
Just think - if she'd thrown away her heart rate monitor maybe she would have achieved something with her running career... :/
Exactly, you don't know how much Kenyans have burned-out....
Nice video....old school.
Dude in lime green jacket "jumping" over the hurdles is the last black guy I would chose for a playground hoops game.

This looked ridiculous - many of the athletes had terrible form.
there is so much wrong with this.
World jr xc gold, olympic 1500m gold, wc 1500m gold. And doing so off prs not much better than say Andrew Wheating. (1:43/3:30)
And there is something messed up about his training? What should he be doing instead?
I agree his training is probably fine but, he's a lot faster than Wheating. It's not about the numbers Wheating is just strong and steady Kiprop has a whole other gear.
Looking back at this point in time I wouldn't even mention wheating as an argument anymore. Sure he has run fast but has been so inconsistent and injured over the years that you can't really say his training is any better. Funny how a few years changes our opinions of runners as back then wheating was on fire.
Time to remind the forum of these videos.
