I mean think about it.
Athing Mu could really benefit from distance workouts from the 5K runners and on top of that, Seb Coe didn't PRed on the 800m by hanging out with the British ethnic sprinters.
Plus she is way too mature for those edgy sprinters we have been having, especially with the pot.

lets see. Her current set up took her from a 2:01 HS runner to a 1:55 Olympic Champ in a year and you know what will work for her
Yes I do.
As a 60 year old man who has saw all track and field races and world records broken.
I know for a fact that the greatest 800m runners are those who are really fast in the middle distance portion.
NOBODY gets to be darn fast in the middle distance without doing DISTANCE WORK.
Seb Coe ran 50 miles a week doing thing but sprinting 400 meters every minute.
Yes I know that Rudisha was a 400m runner but even then he ran over 50 miles a week doing exactly as I said plus leg workouts and suicides.

Great Credentials!
What workouts do you think she is missing out the most on?

Yes but unfortunately there is not a distance running group in the US right now that knows what to do with 800 runners

Perhaps Mu has messaged The Wizard by now and he has sent her some training plans...it would explain her current success.

Didn't several of the fastest women to run the 800 train as sprinters? Kratochvílová ran 21.97/47.99 (no 1500ms listed), Quirot ran 23.07/49.61 (and only ran 4:13 for 1500m) , and Mineyeva ran 50.3h + split sub-50 on the Soviet 4x4.

What an idiotic post. Athing Mu is a 400/800 type athlete. Training with a distance group would be a mistake.

I'm not against that. OP is either a race-baiting troll or just your typical racist, either way...this thread is a joke.
I agree. Whatever she has been doing is working just fine. She has a wonderful attitude and someone with wisdom has guided her into cutting out her competitions after the Pre meet, likely turning away all kinds of European money.
I hope she keeps racing 400 and 800 races and does what she wants to do with her track career.
I only wish our other super-star, Sydney McLaughlin was as happy as Athing.
No. 100% no.
If it works, don’t mess with it.
She’s on top of the world and only getting better. Bad idea.

I disagree!
Coe was a 800/1500 runner and Mu is a 400/800. There is a difference. Fast twitch athletes can sometimes develop a biomechanical deficiency when the run too much long stuff. Running too slow can cause fast twitch runners to implement a braking motion in their stride.

Is she mature enough for nandrolone burritos and the bachlor?
Athing will start some distance training. She has to build up a base for the professional season. She breezed through the NCAAs and the 800 Olympic trials preliminaries but she had a strained face near the end of the trials final. That was the first time I'd seen her really dig in. It was the same during the Olympics preliminary races. She fought through the entire Olympic final. The risk is that running more will lead to injuries.
no.it would ruin her speed.

Clown - the WR in 800 is one of the dirtiest. You might have seen the time beat, but you have no idea what exactly went into it.
Olympic Champ and solo 1:55 with her current training. She should keep doing what she is doing.

I agree this guy is delusional but how is this racist in any respect. It seems like that word is just thrown around now without actually thinking if said thing actually falls in that category. People will never take you serious if that's your response to literally everything.
