Of course, you can discuss it, but I’m not interested in talking about PEDs or bicarb.
I just want to know your opinion on whether my premise is correct. It’s a distance I don’t fully understand.
What was he missing in those 0.2 seconds? Top-end speed? Speed endurance? Even more optimal splits?
Several of the above?
Thanks for the insight.
If we plot a predictable progressions, then Lutkenhaus will be running 1:39-low by the time he's 21
Can't talk about breaking this wr without recognizing Cheater Shoes or bicarb. Don't care if you want to ignore this. Too bad for you.

There no logic but physiology that play in the background.
Lutkenhaus is likely an American (LRC) hype.
You have the example of Odira and some runners that crack for injuries du to natural non adaptation.

Still going with the "cheater shoes" in the year of our Lord, 2025? Really?

THIS. It's spikes, more reactive tracks and a slightly more sofisticated baking soda FFS...

It will take Lutkenhaus 3 years to replicate his showing at the USATF, if he even ever manages that. He is already has better physical development than many athletes in their 20's. Next year will be all about running 1:45 and 1:44.
Rudisha is 1.90. Wanyonyi, 1.70. Kipketer, 1.82
Was Rudisha a tad too tall or is Wanyonyi a bit short for the distance (stride length, number of strides needed...)?

Coe was like 172cm. There is very little evidence that height matters a ton in the 800m…
To me he seems to have peaked.I think he should have focused on it earlier this season and he could have done it.
The more he focuses on 1500 ,the more he looses raw speed and power.
I think someone else who is yet to come will do it.Wanyonyi had his chance but focused too much on 1500m and diamond leagues.Now that window has closed.In anycase,others are now starting to catch up with him .

Wut. I didn't know.
Why do you run .2 away of the 800 WR at 19... and don't stick to that distance?
