Shoes are better. Tracks are better.. But EVERYONE knows what everyone else is doing now. Shared training via Strava, etc has increased the # of Fast runners because there are a lot of coaches who know what they're doing now.
I like the shared training as i like seeing what they do as it's entertaining also some of the people there (men and women) are very attractive
The old MSG wooden track with a wooden frame was 160 yards. We had Mondo build us a new track with a metal frame and plywood under the Mondo. Unfortunately, the banking on the turns were not as high as the wooden track and resulted in slower times. FYI - the new track was 11 laps to 1600m (145.45m). We did this to standardize the position of the exchange zones for the relays. Lagat set an MSG record for the mile with a 3:52 (2005)! Bekele ran against Lagat the following year and was totally out of his element never having run on a such a small track. The day before the race I showed Bekele the video of Lagat's 3:52. The race was over before he got to the starting line. I do think Lagat running on today's Armory or BU track with the super should, he would have the mile world record.
Old school boards were actually boards at Cobo Hall, Detroit. Ryun vs Liquori.
Please tell us how you imagine a doping programme begins for an athlete. Because I can say with absolute certainty that you haven’t got a clue. Have you been physically present for even a single anti doping test?
You imagine that everyone is a bold faced liar. That every athlete of note is somehow all inducted into a grand conspiracy early in their career and that every athlete, coach and manager are complicit in this and that, incredibly, no one has any qualms or moral fortitude and no one blows the whistle on this vast network of lies. It’s beyond absurd.
So I ask you again, please tell us how this all works, since you seem to know this world of professional athletics better than myself. What’s the procedure? Give us the details on how every young talent is indoctrinated into being a fraud for the rest of their careers, with specific steps and examples, if you would please be so kind.
I might add that I have read accounts by college athletes who have had "the talk" from their coaches and physio that if they want to get to the highest level they have to do what everyone else does at that level. I have been told by a professional coach that another coach (well known in the sport) said to one of his athletes - "you won't make it if you don't dope".
Yes and this is not standard and those bad actors are not unknown to us.
The other sort of “talk” you speak of is instilling a young athlete with a sense of duty for diligence and vigilance to ensure that they don’t err and ruin their good name and their career. This involves vetting anything of note they consume, being deadly accurate with their whereabouts reporting and being deeply suspicious of anyone offering to “help” in any way and that all of this is ultimately their responsibility and that it’s their honour and career at risk.

Exactly, I was told I created many batshat posts but I knew I didn’t. I always gift top tier comments and always attuned to the steadfast laws of fisica??

yeah I mean what I love about letsrun is that we get to have conservations here that don't happen anywhere else as that's also what rojo loves about it here as if all the posts are being deleted than we can't have conversations as conversations need posts that aren't being deleted
Malmo are you ok? What are you writing it makes no sense dude! Even Armstongluv is more persuasive than you are. What persons you said disappear and reappear? Is this really you writing such nonsense which has no basis in the laws of physics?
I'm quite OK, I'm just mocking your batsh!t crazy rant with one of my favorite monologues from Repo Man.
I was an aloof, scared nerd in high school. That would have been a disaster for me as a potentially world class athlete in an older generation because I'd have not found out the information I needed.
I would have struggled with motivation, community, confidence in my training decisions, and seeking instruction.
nowadays, you have all of those in your very pocket

so much pocket information it's great as I can learn everything about training from online
