I bet this "secret weapon" is Ryan Hall's stash of testosterone and HGH that he publicly admits to using now for bodybuilding
Obliterating the AR is certainly aiming high.
If anyone's offering odds, gonna give this a snowball's chance in Florida.
Secret Weapons? hahaha. I've been running 50 years and can honestly say there have been ZERO meaningful training reveals in that time. Distance running training is realllly simple. What's changed? Equipment and PEDS. Those are her 'secrets'.
Given that it's the Halls we are talking about, her "secret weapons" are bound to consist of goofy things that aren't actually making any difference. Like Paula Radcliffe training 120 mpw and then thinking that her titanium necklace balancing her body's electromagnetic field was probably playing an important role in her success.
My personal guess is that she is working on holding her breath at the end of intervals, with the idea being that this will "teach her body to be able to run hard without oxygen". That's just a stab in the dark, though.
I mean, she's a pretty good runner obviously, but I think if she was forced to go back to regular shoes, her level would decrease quite a bit.
Sub 2:18? No way. AR? Not gonna happen. I sense envy of Keira D'Amato's quick takedown of the AR, while she tries and tries and cannot get it.
Maybe. God hasn't come through for her thus far.
Maybe it’s that silly skin scaping thing she’s hawking on Instagram? I doubt she actually uses that. What’s the point?
Actually it’s not that silly. The general technique for the tool is the Graston technique which is used widely by PTs to help loosen knots, help with warming or activating muscles that tend to be tight, etc. So no - I would argue not silly and if she tends to have tight calves or Achilles I wouldn’t be surprised if she or Ryan helped use the tool on areas that were tight and knotted up.
that being said…probably not the “secret weapon” referred to since its not a rare technique or general tool.
Love Sara and would love to see her finish top ten in Eugene. But a DNF pretty likely.
Hmmm, what secret does she have now that she didn't have when she dnf'd the Olympic trials? She obviously is in great shape and I'm not saying she doesn't have some secret tricks. I am wondering what on Damoto's bag of tricks.
Ryan Hall quit the ‘Thon because of low T levels. With Muscle Milk and other quasi legal means his T levels should be off the charts.
Because he coaches Sara, he’s able to pass his in
elevated hormones to her.

Her secret weapons don't look to great to me.

The same old same old. But let the circus continue.
I suspect it has something to do with developing running power or fast-twitch muscles. Some combination of lifting, box jumps, jump rope, hurdle drills, etc. Not really a secret but not used widely for marathon training.
That would pair well with Ryan’s obsession with lifting.

What also goes well with lifting is steroids.
I thought it was common knowledge that Sara will run like super frickin hard 22-24 milers and stuff, like really close to race pace. My guess would be that’s one of her “out of the box” ideas, especially since she mentioned what she learned in Africa, and that’s the kind of thing they do over there and with Canova all the time.
Is her secret weapon "tainted burritos"?
