Helps if you're a natural ectomorph to start with, otherwise it's impossible to be like her.
It's not just being an ectomorph. She's got some strong muscle for her weight. I guess that's all there is..muscle. Does she even have 2% body fat?

Nobody has 2% bodyfat or they'd be dead and there's no such thing as an "ectomorph." Lots of idiocy in this thread.

Clenbuterol.
Sounds about right.

Does that sound about right for Obiri & Houlihan? You seem very perceptive.
US. Americans are generally fat. This also translates to runners who think anything else than perfect weight is acceptable. Heck your national sport handegg basically is about who is the fastest fatty

I bet the posters pushing body type science are Capricorns. Those poor sods will believe anything.

Salazar is a bit long in the tooth and has been having Julian handle more and more of the coaching. Perhaps Julian should be getting more credit as being a world class coach than he does. Of course, the athletes that come to him are already tremendous runners, but great success is still hard to come by.
Julian is coaching world class athletes. Whether or not he's a world class coach doesn't really matter. They are obviously doing a great job and if the athletes are happy and he's happy that's awesome.
You never know when the best run of your life will happen, and when it does you often think a better one is right around the corner. Even if she is a front runner, I still think she's in shape to run about 10-15 seconds faster in the right race or with the right rabbits.
I'm not trying to rain on her parade, but man I really wish she didn't have to be so thin. I'm not saying it's unhealthy for her, maybe that's truly just how she is, but there are going to be so many more girls now that are watching her and thinking "I need to lose weight."
What are you talking about? She's a typical skinny German.
If you think that she has been keeping her weight/body fat extremely with disallowed drugs she must have been doing so since the age of about 16 or 17. This would be totally independent of NOP.

That's nonsense. Koko is noticeably thinner than Alina Reh. Do you really expect us to believe that Reh is bigger than the "typical" German.

Only about 10 women have ever run faster. The only non-East African to run faster was Russian Liliya Shobukhova 14:23.75.
Koko fastest non-epo runner?

She's a natural health ectomorph so get over it people.
https://www.runnerspace.com/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=44531&do=news&news_id=485637I think the perception of Konstanze is severely impacted by her having unusually wide hips for an athlete. Which look incredibly bony and skinny from the front. If you look at pictures of her when wearing a top or from the side she does not look that scarily thin as she does from the front. I do think she is probably at the low side. But so are many other female athletes and they do not get this discussion every single time they achieve something. I think we percieve her oddly because she has not the straight hi-shoulder build many female athletes have and at that body fat % her hips look so bony due to her frame.
I can't recall a more dominant performance. And she never quit pushing!
Formidable!
She said in the interview that at some stage it was too loud to get the lap splits someone called to her. Nevertheless, the actual splits show a very controlled race. The first two laps are slightly uneven but afterwards the spread is only about a second , all in 69-70, until the final lap in 65.

I don't know the answers to KoKo's weight but that article is trash and I haven't even read it. They say you can't judge a book by its cover but that you can from that headline. Anyone who uses somotypes like Ectomorphs or Mesomorphs in a physiological terms is an idiot and uneducated full stop. Those are psychological terms and were declared as trash 30 years ago in that field, how they got accepted into fitness and became buzzwords is laughable and purely broscience.
Lol, Fromage and Hardloper the LR experts, I'd even rather go with Runners World than those two:

According to wikipedia, Koko and Reh are both 5'9", Koko 108 lb, Reh 117 lb.
I'm about 145 lbs at 5'7", so I need to lose at least 40 lbs to reach my ideal race weight
