Ah,I found it .I well know American like this kind of stuff.But still disgusting.
Anyway,
So why Paula is so great?
To tell the truth ,2:1525?@is rather surprisin to me.But I wouldn't be surprised if that was 2:16 or something.Why?
1,All of her VO2max ,running economy ,lactate threshold are great.Most top athletes are great in two.These kind of article were publiched in 2000? and there it was predicted she was going to win big city marathons by several minitues.and that's what she is doing now.
Her running style was amazingly economical.And those data suggest she is the longer ,the better.
I will show you this article if I can find.
How about training,the poster wrote ,every marathoner does great running.yes,but not like Paula.
As Hartmann said none of the 43 medalists he met train like Paula.I have once read the article about her training,yes that was great.
But more great was her toughness and perseverance.which I think can't be required by drugs.
Look world fastest 50 athletes and you'll immeditely know how tough the long distance running is for female.or even male.some don't good for unknown reasons,some pregnant,some injuries, some mental problem....To tell the truth ,every athlete doesn't train that much as a whole.
Look at Naoko Takahashi how long has she been resting,look at Ndereba how slow she is at shorter distance and how moderate her training is (DOMPARED WITH PAULA).
And I'm sure Paula does traing twice as much as other TOP athlese,or more.Do you know what this means?it's more unbelievable to me than 2:15:25.
And for this she has improved little by little EVERY YEAR.And maybe next year ,OLY year will be the same.
That's most great about her,more than 2:15:25,.
And her absorbing pain is great,this allowes her to train hard,run hard.
And I don't know this well.But you know she is very bad at last kick.So probably she is suitable at longer distance even for muscle ratio.(another example is Tulu who could manage 60 sec kick in Sydney and is rather bad at marathon)
And she is of course very good at load.
and she is a front runner and can make blistering pace alone.
She is very stable .and very strong at mental.
All of these things were very important for marathon.And she is perfect at every thing.
And what is more ,she is the one who can report every single urine sample if ordered,and allows organixers to reserve them for some unknown drugs.
Common American,whatever the f*** you say,Nothing will come from her.And I'm sure of her cleancess more than anything else.
And what is more ,marathon has history ,which repels the doper,some of infamous Eastern countries,Russia,China.Instead of them the ones who did well at marathon usually come from clean countries,or countries no matter how they were doubted, nothing came from them.
