What was El G pr at 31? How about Morceli? What about Allen Webb? Centro didn't exactly year things up. Some people make it to their mid 30s with minimal declines. They are the exception not the rule. Heck Look at Lagat. He won. He was also like 5s off his PB. He was winning cause it was a weak time in the event. Emma running 10s off her PB is what we are seeing. It makes her noncompetive.
