if they give you 3-5 sceonds a mile, then that means El G runs a sub 3:40 and Komen runs a 7:50 2 miles.
sorry its just not true..
Bruh, a bunch of nobodies just ran within 3-4 seconds of El Gs all-time indoor best at the height of epo! The 3:51.90 is top 21 ALL-TIME! Just barely behind Scott and only a second back of Morceli.
There is so much of this, I dont know how some of you can even watch the sport.
if you only take Eamonn and Marcus O’Sullivan and out them on the Armory track, instead of ten lap old tech tracks
Eamonn woukd have run 3:48.x at leadt and Marcus 3:49. X
thats 40 friggin years ago. Allowing for no high end improvements over 35-40 years is as nuts as saying “its just the shoes”
are some of you saying
they then with the shoes as well, woukd have run 3:46 and 3:47?
not happening and proportionally, they were better than most if these guys by a lot
the shoes help
the tracks help
how much ? Can never be proven.
i think John Walker ran 3:52.8 at Sunkist? 11 laps…i think
stick him on the Armory Track he runs 3:50
A lot of data points used are from way inferior tracks to Even Arkansas or PSU
And some people still don’t think the shoes give you 3-5 seconds a mile. This race is amazing evidence you get 3-5 seconds a mile. Complete no names are smashing recent NCAA records held by Olympic finalists. I’m not trying to take anything away from the times because I think improving technology is important and the shoes are great to use to reach optimal race times, but it’s impossible to make any logical argument against the evidence.

You don’t know that. They very well could have run those times - their drugs combined with today’s shoes.
