Why are “EPO era” records falling?

Shoes

Super spikes, wavelight technology, and more EPO.

Let it kill you in your bottom.

Super spikes, wavelight technology, advances in training but less EPO ---> finally comparable (1500 m) or even better times (5000 m) 20 years later.

Better training.

You can watch racing videos 24/7 and see how fast running/racing should look

Smart phones with video cameras

-you can see vids of your mechanics and improve

20+ years of training/racing knowledge/discussions contained on these boards 24/7

Shoes may be a small part of it, but I think there is a new drug out there. It feels similar to when EPO first appeared.

because training, technology and science have all seen improvements that help increase human potential.

An argument can be made that training shoes have allowed gals & guys to log mileage with a bit of a reduction in injury risk.

Racing shoes are not the reason.

Lights for pacer helps, helps the ladies at least.

Shoes, advances in training, legal doping of living at altitude, lights

Records usually fall with the passage of sufficient time.

true, but I think it would be naive to think that many top athletes will not seek to maximise any possible advantage they can get.

That is why i don't really concern myself with who may, or may not, be cheating.

Impossible to know, and hopefully testers can catch them out.

Sadly, it may well be that sport is even more unfair than in the past given those in the know (the latest strategies) may be a cost unaffordable to most.

But what can u do.

super epo is out

EPO isn't a "performance enhancer".

I think you meant EPO, super spikes, wave light tech. Lastly , injections of testosterone

Here is the result of those that try to throw others by false ethic argument.

The west is playing on that for years.

Lack of confidence:

PMSL. All records will fall at some point.

Yes, no chance it’s the shoes. There is absolutely no data correlating a drop in times with the advent of Super Shoes.

Tooth Ugg Eels!!!

Super spikes, wavelight technology, and better nutrition/dietary supplements
