Hey I'm starting this thread about the Russian half miler. What is his background. Is he a sprinter type of distance type. He seems built like a 400 mette man, but his racing startegy suggestd a miler type. For example, Dave Wottle, Nick Symmonds and others tend to hold back, keep composure, and close hard, to use their strength in the kick. Many people are under the misconception that 400 meter specialists will always win in the kick because their faster, but often the 400 guys will tie up and slow down, and the milers get a chance to dash for home. This is intersting because Pre attempted to run the kick out of his competitios while these athletes let people run the kick out of themselves. I have gone way off topic. Anyway, does anyone have any info on Borzi's background, other pb's , or training. thanks.
