I was wondering whether Wariner's body type helps his 400. It is obvious that he has less muscle mass than most sprinters. Would he be as good if he put on more muscle weight? Yes, I believe he has added some muscle since colllege, but he is still relatively smaller. I am not great with physiology, but could having less muscle mass help him produce less lactic acid towards the end of the race?
i suspect that he has a relatively good body for the 400 meters.
I seriously believe that if Wariner used the "POSE" technique that he could be a better runner. Have you ever thought about doing the "pose" techique? Check it out at,
It could really help you improve and make you an overall better runner. It worked for me.

Are you going to post this in every thread?
what are your prs before and after using the pose technique. no excuses, just times.
I went from a 19:09.97 5000m to a 18:11.36 5000m in bit over a year. All thanks to POSE.

hahaha.... :)
Although I am flattered that you are pretending to be me, I am curious as to why you are still putting up the Pose website since you seem to disagree with the running technique? You really should seek some medical council. Good day!

Good try. You were close but my best time for the 5K is 18:06! ( but that was right out of high school) Now on a good day I can go under 21:00 on a fast course.
Before I started using POSE I was running in the high 20's. POSE is a God-send ! I would be happy to meet with any local runners to help them transition to this superior technique. It has worked wonders for me.
Hahahaha poser.

You can argue for or against the Barry Ross thing (strength without weight gain), but the bottom line for Wariner is for him to approach the 400 WR, his 200 has to get to around 20.0 or faster. You can only push the endurance part of speed-endurance so far, before you have to do something about the speed part. And to gain higher top speed, you have to accelerate strongly enough to be able to reach a higher top speed, and that requires strength. You can look for Wariner to gain some weight in the gym, and to run some 200's this year, according Clyde Hart.

Come on dude, what don't you just come out and say what you really want to know - how fast can Wariner run the 800 in?
While he was coomentating at the world champs last summer Michael Johnson said to break his world record Wariner needed to build his muscle mass - and he should know what he's talking about!
I saw Jeremy Wariner at Wal-Mart a few days ago. I almost didn't recognize him. One would have to look closely to tell if he's a finely tuned athlete, or just the average young skinny white guy. He was dressed like an average skinny white guy, too. Baggy shorts, t shirt, basketball shoes. All adidas gear.
My wife said, "You should have asked for his autograph." I asked her what would I put it on. She said "ebay." :)
NO, that's not what I was asking, but a good question anyway. So what could Wariner run for an 800 then? I mean I think he should just give it a try. How about a 600? I bet he could get by with pretty low mileage to be competitive in an 800. He will run one sooner or later, you think?

What were you doing at WalMart and better yet, what was Jeremy Warner doing at Walmart? Don't spend your money there - you are hurting Americans.
What was I doing at Wal-Mart? Buying cheap stuff. Sure, it may hurt other Americans, but it helps MY pocketbook! That's the American way, right? (That was supposed to be read with sarcasm dripping off the letters.)
What was Jeremy doing there? He was shopping for underwear when we walked by him. No sarcasm there, that's the honest truth. I'm not worried about him, though. I'm sure after he's spent a couple of track seasons over in Europe, he'll receive enough socialistic indoctrination that he'll see the error of his ways and never shop at Wal-Mart again. (Just a little sarcasm there :) )
was he shopping at wal-mart for y-fronts or boxers? i would REALLY like to know. he must have a cheap girlfriend!

Wariner could have ran 19.9's last year. Some of you are seriously fooled into thinking the guys lacking in speed. He ran 20.4 in hs which so many people seem to forget pretty easily.
