Imagine how fast he would be with proper training.
Training with Khaki--Khaki is so dull. I prefer olive or Navy.
Nice! He should come to America and train properly and we'll have him running 1:47 in no time!
and people wonder why africans crush us....all that training and it didnt say, "oh then we went clubbing" or "facebook" or "letsrun"...nope train, eat, sleep, train, eat, train eat, sleep. try that for a while and see how far you get

Maybe he should put in some more mileage.
Well played again. In all seriousness, I have seen similar type training set out before for Africans, but we seem hesitant to try it. I have adapted my group training to reflect some of this hard work, but we are probably a year or two away from Khaki-esque work. I have already seen some clear success from running longer,faster intervals (3k+2k+1k)
Fantastic article! Thanks for linking that.
Cold, brown-water, chlorine-smelling showers. Wow. For the second best 800m runner in the world. I think there's a subsequent mindset that plays some role in his success.
From the article:
"Footnote: The runners left Egypt when political unrest broke out."
Tough luck on picking Egypt for a training location!
The article also says that there was no park so they had to run on a busy road. I would think that they look into the training facilities a little better before they ship out to Egypt to train. Why not just go to Kenya?
Interesting how no one noticed ELEVEN TO TWELVE HOURS SLEEP PER DAY. Stupid Americans focus on mileage, interval recoveries, barefootness, cryosaunas and bullshit when the real secret is FULL RECOVERY. Top competitors around the world sleep 2-3 times/day for 10+ hours (top Americans too, but SHHHH keep it quiet we are just WORKING HARD and WEAR THIS BRAND SHOES).
Moron. Do you think that the fact that nobody comments on something is tantamount to them not noticing it? I noticed it, big deal...
