I really think it is the shoes plus better testing. If it is doping, I’m so tired of doped up East Africans going 10 deep all in the same Nike uniform I just don’t care.

For sure. The better testing is allowing for faster times. No doubt. Why didn’t we think of that earlier? That is a no brainer.

All times getting faster with shoes. Less doped times make it easier to reach previous doped times. Not that hard to grasp, but I can type it slower if that will help.

Yeah less doped times make it easier to reach previous doped times. Yeah type it slower. Please do that.
Most of you clowns will scoff, but the mental aspect is huge. I don't care if you're physically fit enough to run 12:45, if you can't first believe and know that you can 1) win the race 2) run 12:45, you aren't going to do it. Yes there have been tech advances, and everybody has them. Yes training and nutrition advances, but 99% follow them already.
There's no better example of this than Webb, who I think most people would agree was physically capable of even better than 3:46 mile, but he was handicapped by the mental doubts.

It’s taken decades for training methods to finally allow some runners to catch up to all the doped Africans who for the most part still dope with impunity.
I think Jakob paved the way by showing that African elites were not unbeatable. That combined with significant advancements in training knowledge that are being applied at the high school and NCAA level is how you get to where we are today.

What training knowledge?
Threshold training, Marius Bakken was the first two realize how much more threshold training the east Africans were doing compared to the vo2 max based training American and European runners were doing back in the 90s. He reformed it to make it more measurable and scientific so to speak. Since Jakob success, more western runners have adopted it.

So the squeaky clean Americans and Europeans can now compete and even beat the full throttle Africans because of training methods…good one bro!
