Anyone have a copy-and-paste of her training plan? This is like a dude going from 0:47 seconds at age 27 to 0:41 at age 32.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarmila_Kratochv%C3%ADlov%C3%A1Kratochvílová was a late developer, not breaking 53 seconds for the 400 metres until she was 27, and she was 32 when she set her world records.
Hard work and vitamin b according to her.
Wow, she's 70? Let's see her go out and smash the Old Lady 70 year old 400/800 WR.
I bet she could beat some of the younger AGWR's too. People who can do that should get credit for those too.
It's the TWT training plan. Testosterone Without Testing
eat clean
lift clean
train clean [6x200, 4x400]
repeat

she must have been ridiculously talented,drugs or no drugs.Apparently she didnt start to train seriously till 1978,which is when she ran a 51 second 400.She would have been clean,then,im sure.She made a come back in 1987,and ran under 1.58 in the 800,again possibly clean.Drugs alone cannot turn a 53 second female runner into a sub 48.She must have been capable of much faster than that.
She ran the last negative-split 800 WR. I wonder what she could have done with proper pacing and rabbit(s).
Also very interested in her training.
Everything I could find on the net (to be taken with a grain of salt):
- Her coach Miroslav Kvac a former army officer
- Several sessions a day
- 18x300m (every morning)
- Easy Runs, Fartleks and Repetitions over 1000m and 2000m to improve aerobic capacity
- In each weight session she lifted a total of 16 tonnes of weights
- A lot of hill repetitions but very little plyometrics
- Weekly vitamin B12 injections
That lady is a dude. Either naturally (e.g. undescended testes) or lots and lots of T vitamins in that B injection. Still good progression for a guy, just shouldn’t be a women’s record.
2 THE GILLS!!!!
Speaking realistically, she is probably an XY or mosaic (XX/XY) individual. Ditto Maria Mutola.
