If runners are just better today, why is the mile WR 26 years old?
The WR is the outlier. The depth is infinitely better today, in distances from 800 all the way up to marathon.. Surely you can understand that?
So how is it that doping has enabled virtually all records from the 100m to the 1500 to last for decades but over longer distances than that the previous distance records (likely doped, too, because sprinters weren't the only athletes doping) have all gone? Sprinters and md runners dope better than distance runners? How about better doping today in the longer events?

The miserable person with a miserable life rears his ugly head again. Take a month off or grow up, everything is NOT drugs.

It doesn't have to be everything; just enough. It clearly is or the supershoes would have taken the sprint and md records like they are supposed to have done for the distance records.

The newer supershoe (super spike) designs don't influence the times in the sprints (under 400m) the same way they do for the distance running events where more gains can be made. It's more a matter of improving running economy and that shows more over 800m +.
Yes, agree doping and bicarb etc are also a factor too though.

You are ignorant. There are no supershoes in sprinting. You know nothing about shoes, you justify everything with doping. Go away.

That's a rationale that hasn't been proven. Shoes can help in any kind of event and sport - which is why millions goes into developing them. Running shoes don't enhance distance running while doing nothing for sprinters.
If you think they account for the improvements in distance running - which they haven't done for sprinting (and md, as El G's records still stand) then they are effectively more powerful than doping since they have enabled surpassing previously doped records. I don't think so.

Good question that Malmo failed to fantasize about. He is under the illusion that’s it’s due to training, coaching and higher population numbers but the explosion of East African births didn’t threaten anywhere close to El G’s 2 famous WRs that some pundits on this board believe will last an eternity.
The indoor records are also extremely soft if I may add. Anytime a true blue American breaks it, even while dirty, it’s always soft. Let’s see if all these dirty Americans break 3:26:00 first. That’s the only real one to break.
El G didn’t take indoors seriously that much. Back then indoors was seen like a bench warmer due to frigid temperatures and restless legs. They made indoors to earn some pocket money and advertisements.
Nuguse took 3 tries to break it and even then with drugs so that tells you a lot about how untalented this prick is.
When I came onto this website earlier I was led to a landing page with the strident billboard words
‘WOW Fisher and Nuguse are WR holders.’
And I was thinking to myself something’s up as since when and every so often does the staff of LRC act in such a weirdly sycophantic manner towards American athletes who have had success and in such a way that seems to suggest that they saw that success coming a 100% with no ambiguous odds.
So 2 things seems to suggest LRC staff has foreknowledge of that success and in a way that unduly and unethically brings them corrupt benefits:
1. Melodramatic and theatrical celebration of American athletes success that doesn’t fit with normal social norms and reality
2. Sycophantic dedication to these athletes in the choice of words and vocabulary towards their appraisal, like it’s an overwhelming circle jerking echo chamber. Not one critique and if there were then try not to be too serious about it and downplay it.
My Conclusion:
LRC staff ( not sure who or what) or LRC supporters and regular club members have the inside scoop on who is bang on odds to succeed because they know who is juiced up before hand.
I saw the same pattern play out on LRC 1-2 days before Connor Mantz AR in the HM. Posts start streaming in foretelling way too sycophantically “ area record going down in Houston tomorrow “ before really going down the very next day.
Somethings way too fishy that’s not random and not up to chance. Someone is writing a fiction story and trying to sell it to the whole world on LRC.
Im definitely not buying such infidelity. No thanks. You can keep it Hoe.
This is a good write up that on double take I felt rings quite true. The Brojos seem uncannily cognizant of the future and who will run an AR, NR or WR. Are they well informed by the pro circle on which drug and which athlete is doping? Is there any revolving door between all of them to make America great again? These are legit questions to be asked.
Using the term ‘WTF’ in the landing page to allude to Nuguse and Fisher being newly minted WR holders is unhinged and speaks to a root corrupt motive. Motive to dope and make America great again.
Having said all these, all these shenanigans is worth nothing if hocker Nuguse and Kessler don’t get El G 1500m wr. America will be the biggest laughing stock of the world for being the most obvious dopers but yet couldn’t snatch that key wr from a third world country like Morocco.
Threshold training has spread throughout the Western running world and is having its effect, as are raised expectations, superspikes, and perhaps the bicarb as well. One thing threshold training does is to reduce injuries from crazy sessions. Any college distance coach who was paying attention from the 1980s to the 2010s would realize that a high percentage of prospects were healthy a fraction of their college days because they couldn't stay healthy on high intensity workouts, too hard "easy" miles, and little sleep. Just by keeping them going at a pace that gives aerobic benefits close enough to the race level pays huge dividends in them actually staying healthy and racing.
Or maybe everyone should be required to run in leather spikes with leather shoes on cinder tracks? I think know that you're the one who's being disrespectful and ignorant. Runners are better today, even accounting for the technology. Accept it and move forward. I think it's cool, perhaps you should too?
I don't think the spikes were made out of leather, ma'am.
The top shoes from Adidas and Puma were made from kangaroo skin (leather).
Since humans started organizing races against each other, the main goal has been to be the fastest. For many runners, this means wearing track spikes to give them the upper hand over their competition.
