Jess Hull speed work

Yeah you gotta focus on high velocity work to make a difference in middle distance races

Jingy needs to start training with Jess Hull and her dad Down Under…!

Pretty sure most mid distance runners do it? Kerr mentioned sprints and Kessler as well. I think even the Norwegian guys have a sprint day?

That might be the case for most but in the past Hull trained as a 5k runner and then came down to the 1500.

The australian propaganda machine is hard at work to make us believe that it was a change in training that made an at best mediocre runner go from ~3:57 to ~3:50 in the span of roughly one year. Sure australia, sure.

This is the problem when you don't truly understand human physiology, you look and sound like a clown. It's the same with people that think every thing that happens that they don't understand is a "miracle" when in fact, it's easily explained by... you know... science. There are a lot of mediocre "professional" runners that could drop their 1500 PRs by even more than that if they had the time, discipline, resources and science based coaching to commit to it.

Always is - change in training, new running pattern, change in environment and so on. Anything to deflect.

Does anybody have a link to the interview?

Beamish said as much - they never do real speed work. Maybe 200s in 25-26, but nothing at top speed.

This is a big short coming of most distance training - a lack of sprint work.

And learning how to run and sprint efficiently. But you also need the background to give you the strength to sprint - starting with gym
