BU times are fake, let's be honest

I agree

3:48 is a fraud. I predicted he wouldn't break 3:50, and he just ran a 3:52 and got smoked.

Still running the same distance. Just because a track is the fastest doesn't mean it's "fake"

It’s not necessarily Boston it’s just everybody on the same peptides and bicarb plus getting together ready to run fast

A track is NOT fast. It sits stationary and humans run on it. Write that down.

Not exactly. The frame underneath the BU track was designed to be more bouncy than other tracks. So while it doesn't move forward it does move up and down.

What would Hocker have run at BU?

Fake news is getting old. Pubs and they conspiracies....carry on

thank you helpy helperton..now go do some push ups

That would apply to some other meets as well. But this Is sus.

BU also the asymmetric 18deg angle, versus the typical 12 deg angle used at JDL FastTrack. The latter has a newer mondo track-surface design.

For clarity, of course I meant it has asymmetric curves, with an 18deg bank angle.

The JDLFastTrack is the surface/underlayment design used on the Paris Olympics track, Mondotrack EI. I just checked, and at least one source is saying the JDLFastTrack bank angle is 11deg (instead of 12deg.)

Any significant turn banking makes indoor tracks faster than outdoor. That's how it has always been.

Only reason all indoor WRs aren't faster than outdoor is it is the offseason, these guys are not in peak shape. The very few who do peak for indoors set their PRs there.

I suspect Eamonn Coghlan became the "indoor guy" because he wasn't quite good enough to win outdoors in his era.

There is more to it, than just the bank being an ‘equalizer’, because there could also have been dead-spots in the older tracks.

You said nad.

As an average club level runner, my mile and 3k Prs are at BU and I've raced a lot indoor track. I remember running 4:34 at Reggie then sub 4:30 a couple weeks later at BU and then 4:37 at Harvard. Take that as you will.

Hobbs Kessler said he doesn't even pay attention to any of the times coming out of BU because the track is ridiculous. Kessler has no filter and is as honest as they come in interviews, so no debate BU is ridiculous. He is also a straight shooter on super shoes.
