The debate of how much mile does Seb Coe that lasts for more than a decade on this board, it´s similar to the gender of angels.
This said, might this surprise some. Seb Coe and Peter Snell did similar mileage average, but a different way, different pace, different training plan, different stimulus, different training organization.
However both Snell and Coe did weekly mileage average for sum of one season the kind of mileage average that looks more 70miles week average than 100miles.
I might prove it.
Most of you instead of got comprehension what´s different training plan from the double middle distance from the last 60 years, you focus on one side of the coin, mileage kind
From Roger Moens (1:45.7WR) , to Ralph Double, Herb Helliot (3:35.6), Peter Snell, Sebastian Coe, Kipketer, Steve Ovett, Said Aouita, Morcelli or recent E Guerrouj and David Rudisha (1:40.91) some 5 seconds were taken to the 800m world record and some 10 seconds to the 1500m world record.
The comprehension of of what did this middle distance Giants, each one got his own physical idiosyncrasy, each own training individuality but based in one defined training pattern.
Each one one of this 800m-1500m- mile giantas did slightly different training plan, and to take the debate focused of “how many miles they did “ it´s a nothing but simplistic. But most of you do insist on and on in the mileage angels gender.
Since I got my poor English, I repeat because I know what I say: Seb Coe and Peter Snell did both some 70mile weekly average in one season, and not 100miles.
Consider this a sound bite, but trust me, it´s the truth.
