Murphy isn't the first guy to rapidly improve once they got into post HS training and racing. But you, white hating cuck that you are, hate seeing a non POC run decently.
Go back to burying your face in a soc professor's crotch and leave the board to people who actually have knowledge of the sport.
Oh gawd.......YOU??
"Julius Assange"
"white hating"
"cuck" (awww, the crazy right wingers have invented a new insult, how cute)
"soc professor"
All the key right wing words, taken straight from their playbook. Ready to make "AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" ??
What, no "LIB-TARD" ?!?! You're slipping
Lemme guess, YOU are one of the people "who actually have knowledge of the sport" ??? ha ha ha, Now THAT is a LOL!

Actually I'm Asian. And you are indeed a cuck. lol

Murphy ran a stupid race again. Got pushed around cause he let Soulimon cut him off on the tangent and he fell back.
He then got boxed.

Then he made the final with a PR.

re: Rudisha Repeat

But what was Kszcot thinking...? Racing to poll positing, seems to have let the nerves get to him. Very composed races from the two USAns, both in sub-1:44 shape.

Anyone else have a suspicion that Murphy might be doping in some way?
I read this flotrack (http://www.flotrack.org/article/44897-from-1-54-to-1-44-the-meteoric-rise-of-clayton-murphy) article which had the quote
"I started stretching more and doing core, icing and recovering, getting treatment and sleeping nine hours a night. Eating better meals and taking protein after practice and just the little things that a lot of elite athletes do as second nature, I was learning how to do those things and incorporating them into my regular routine."
Sure he was under trained in HS but that barely gets talked about and is put in the opening paragraphs as sort of an introduction to his HS career. Am I really supposed to believe that all those "little things" are some of the most important things in his transformation into the stud that he is? Or could this just be poor quality reporting from flotrack?

He is only 21 years old, and just graduated college, so I am not surprised he is taking big leaps.

I'm not sure if you ran in college, but it isn't exactly easy to do all of the little things right, you want to have fun, get good grades and run well. But you really can only choose two of those unless you are a super genius and don't need to study.

The most important improvements from the little things come from improving the quality and quantity of your training. Maybe he can run an extra 10 miles per week now because his form is slightly better because of more core, or he creates muscle better because he has a better diet. All of these things will make you run faster in a race, but also allow you to push yourself to a higher level in training. It's a double bonus.

He could be doping, but then again so could everyone else.

He split a 48 in high school on the 4x4, so he had talent yet to be tapped. For you to accuse him of doping is 100% uncalled for and show how little you know abut Clayton. How did he drop all that time in about 1.5 years? Talent, coaching and doing all the little things. But I guess because you could never run that fast and pretty much suck at life he must be doping. Go suck a fart dude.

re: Iknowhim

I love reading all the doubters in this thread after-the-fact. Clayton looked awesome in the semis and has a great shot at doing well in the finals. All of you nay-sayers can shove it. Stop trying to pull a 21 yr old down because your running careers sucked.

POTD!

People forget Murphy clocked a 45.4 relay leg this season - shortly after running an 800 - that's slightly faster than any 400 legs Brazier ran this year in the relay. Murphy certainly has the wheels. His future is likely the 1500, but yes, he has mad talent. And he's clean, which can't be said for some of his competitors. Even Rudisha is now suspect considering all that's come out.

Watch out for Mak. He's in crushing shape right now. If he can recover well enough for the 1500, he's going to give doper Kiprop quite a battle. Yeah, everyone accuses Mak of being doped, but at least he's tested year round. Kiprop's best skill besides a strong last 300 is avoiding testers off season.
