Great post by the OP.

Has anyone noticed that Rupp and Farah are completely ripped, way beyond how Geb or Bekele or any other distance great looked? They are all skinny as rails, of course, but even then most will have some subcutaneous fat, not the striated appearance of a body builder...or Rupp/Farah. The only comparison I can think of for that look is Ezekiel Kemboi.

Is there a "special sauce" that takes someone from the 8% body fat of most elite men to the 6% or less of Farah and Rupp?

Let's just say that thyroid-boosting is a wonderful thing.

JFC.

I'm almost 50, just a solid age grouper and I'm almost as defined as rupp. And all I do is some planks and pushups every day.

These guys are world class athletes - it's not a real challenge for them to be skinny with muscles.

Obviously the Africans do less core work.

Here's Meb - not a NOPer and hark - great abdominals.

Good post.

I'd like to see a current picture of Mary Cain. I doubt she has ripped abs.

The original poster is knocking NOP and Salazar (not that they aren't welcoming criticism with their behavior) but I doubt Cain is on the dark side of the sport. Just a talent taken in by flattery and opportunity.

i have an 8-pack and don't do sit-ups. i'm running 65 miles a week.it's called mileage and body fat loss. i'm at the highest sustained mileage i've ever been at, eat the healthiest i've eaten, and those abs appeared. first time i've had abs in my life. i'm 32.it's no surprise that this would happen to an elite who trains like crazy. for me, when my season is over, they will disappear. i eat like 3000 calories a day too, fyisimple.

I saw Rupp in person racing last year, and he had some sort of weird muscle striation that was not exactly like being "ripped" or "defined". Reminded me of a starved racehorse or dehyrdrated bodybuilder.

Saw Cain race a few weeks back. I thought she looked "healthy" and certainly no sign of the 8 pack as described by the OP. Not race sharp. There is a lot of innuendo and criticism here that is not really warranted in MC's case. I won't speculate on the rest of the group.

Nice comment. In person account.

Sensible.

Trust your judgement old friend.

I saw him do his post-race workout at BU and noticed the same thing. Like this picture. His abdominal skin looked papery thin.

No real abs. The fat is missing.

Or elevated thyroid.

Exactly.

As I said, most elites are rail then and may have well-defined abs, but even then they have sub-cutaneous fat unlike Rupp and Farah. Meb as an example from the naive guy above just proves my point. He doesn't look sick or have bodybuilder striation. Again, show me someone other than Kemboi with this look.

Plodders who are proud of your precious abs, you look NOTHING like this. Imgur a pic now if you think you do.

I think that they are getting a constant dose of large amount of running everyday.

I remember that my BMI was 16 while eating around 10% of my body mass, every day.

Another clueless poster.

At 5'10" (1.8m) and 135 lb (61 kg) the BMI should be just under 19.

But, Rupp looks like below 15, a value indicating severely underweight.

This is what Rupp is supposed to be.

A 15 BMI for Rupp would indicate a weight of between than 105-110 lbs.

The weird thing about Rupp is that he is extremely lean...yet his face is chubby. Not normal.

"Cushingoid"

Rupp has always had a chubby face; since high school.

Hasay and Ostrander have the chubby face thing too.
