Mr. Renato Canova: Could You Please Answer a Question About Effective Ways to Improve the Lactate Threshold?

Coe was 49.7 at 400m (I think -- I know it was inside 50s) and right at 1:15.0 at 600m.

Is El G going to go for the 5000m record this year? I hope so.

Yeah i think so, i thought it was this year that he was going to start focusing on the 5000m(occurding to him he hasnt done that yet).

I really think this guy(and his coach ), knows his shit, and hes already gone 12:50?

I would not be surpriced to see him and Bekele, duke it out.

In fact, i would be very surpriced to see him lose, directly to Bekele(seems to have his number in the last 150m or so).

i still think EL G should have gotten Athlete of the year, but thats just me.

What is the physiological process that causes you to tie up, in the second half?

is it mearly the switch from, aerobic, from anaerobic?

or something more?

They have this new medicine these days for people with steroidal rage issues like you.

To paraphrase your argument: "Dammit, the damn 800 is damn hard dammit to 400m damn."

yeah thanx ill look into it.

It's funny; you can't even spell your insults properly. I am reluctant to automatically equate inability to spell with being stupid (Einstein was dyslexic) but in your case you betray a serious lack of literacy. Please leave.

yeah , well im sorry we cant all be tools ;)

You're right; only you can.

You cannot kick in the 800!!! Not when you are doing your max 800 pace from the gun.

In this regard, I think the 800 is more closely related to the 400, vice 1500. In both 400 and 800, you try to hang on, or fade the least.

Yes it will be exciting to see El G in 5000 this year. Its true, he hasn't "concentrated" on it yet, but obviously, his 1500 training all these years has been "5000 based", as it should be!!!

Yes, those 5000 and 10000 times will continue to fall. When this decade is up, we might see 26:05, 12:32 and 7:20. :)

Cheers

You want controversial? I think that the 3000 m record is soft...but only in comparison to the indoor record. Komen ran 7:20 and 7:24. Conventional wisdom suggests that you slow down by a second for every lap of the race (eg 12:37/12:49, 3:26/3:31, 3:43/3:48) and yet Komen only slowed 4.23 seconds. The record, as he set it, should be a couple of seconds slower.

It's going to be tough to touch, however. No one seems to be specifically built for the 3k/5k distance.

madein,

you start anaerobic and go aerobic -- the tie up is from:

a) all the crap (lactate) you put into your legs by turning out so much energy in the largely anaerobic first half and

b) trying to maintain a similar level of output after the anaerobic system has tired and gone to bed, despite the fact the aerobic system cannot turn out energy nearly as fast

wow, i wasnt aware that Komen ran 7:24 indoors.

That truly is remarkable.

EL G is as close as anyone to him outdoors, and he ran 7:23 right?

Geeze 7:24indoors, there is a record that could last a LONG time.

But i have a feeling that once Bekele gets done with the 10k, it will be pretty mind blowing as well.

ur telling me 26:20 isn't mind blowing enough for you. thats 4:13 pace i believe. nuts. he even said it himself that lowing that will be very very hard.

think of it this way; 25 laps in 26 min 20 seconds. so 6.2 miles at 4:00 mile pace, than add a minute 20 seconds. pretty sick.

what the hell is this thread about and why does it have 82 pages?

Can someone summarize this for me?

It's a complex subject.

Can someone summarize this for me?

Read it yourself, lazy deadbeat. Why do so many foolish, stupid people continue to chime in with probing, brilliant insights such as....

"Why is this thread so long, delete it, waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh" (spoken like a truly spoiled brat of a 4 year old girl).

So, from here forth, let's make a rule: If you are predisposed towards comporting yourself like a 4 year old girl, do not post, do not ask why the thread is long, and find something better to do with your life.

In this manner, everyone who wants to improve and run faster can learn, and the idiots can go and pollute the rest of society. This board is quite sufficiently polluted already.

I think we have to get around the construct we have of the 4-minute mile. If you ran a 10k where the last 7k were by yourself, would you think that you ran the fastest 10k you could have run that day?
