Is Laura Muir the GOAT non-African born talent in history? Coach reveals she only runs 40-50 mpw

The woman has already run 3:55 and 14:49 and now it comes out she barely trains.

The Guardian wrote:

Muir’s coach, Andy Young, meanwhile, believes that more is to come, given that she only runs between 40 to 50 miles a week, around 10-20 fewer than most of her 1500m rivals. “The mix of fast- and slow-twitch fibres that she has gives her the ability to sprint and also run a marathon,” he says.

Has the world ever seen someone this talent who wasn't born in Africa (or China)?

Hey Rojo, Kim Smith ran 14:39 about 10 years ago indoors.

As a real Lydiard disciple a 5k, 8k or 10k time trial @ 90-95% once or twice per per week might give good results in some athletes for a lot less than 100 mpw.

Where are Renato's special Kenyans born, living, and training hard at high altitude on the 3000m women's all-time list???

Answer:

The top Kenyans are 7th and 8th behind the top 6 Chinese times that were all set in 2 days in 1993.

Total number of Renato's special Kenyans born, living, and training hard at high altitude who have beaten the top 6 Chinese times in the last 23 years:

ZERO.

Ha ha ha

I know it is hilarious 😂. And these Kenyans are the mentally "tough" ones who are "trained properly."

In his book he talks about 100 mile weeks sometimes.

What are you talking about?

Wait a minute here.

Lord Sebastian Coe DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING about ethics problems and bribes when he was at the FIFA ethics commission.

Lord Sebastian Coe DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING about ethics problems and bribes when he was Vice President under Lamine Diack at the IAAF.

Then Lord Sebastian Coe became president of the IAAF.

Then Lord Sebastian Coe promoted Nick Davies to be deputy general secretary of the IAAF and run Lord Coe's Monaco office.

Then Nick Davies had to step down from his position because of possible ethics violations and a mention in his email to Papa Massata Diack that they could use the Lausanne lab of Dr. Martial Saugy as a "Plan B" (where 67 Russian samples were later destroyed) if there were any problems at the Moscow lab (which was run by Grigory Rodchenkov)…and that Gabriel Dolle (the IAAF head of anti-doping) had confirmed this to Nick Davies…and then $93,000 cash was found at Gabriel Dolle's house…etc…etc...

Lord Sebastian Coe also DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING about any of this bad stuff.

Lord Sebastian Coe DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING about how much mileage he ran a long time ago.

You can't believe what was written in his book…because he did not write the book…or even read the book.

Lord Sebastian Coe forwarded the email book to the IAAF ethics commission without ever reading the email…or book.

OK?

Quality over quantity, guys. 40-50 miles a week is plenty if it is done correctly.

Sunday: Off

Monday: Short track repeats: 20x200m (6miles)

Tuesday: 6-mile steady run

Wednesday: Long repeats: 5x1mile (9 miles)

Thursday: 6-mile steady run

Friday: Fartlek: 8x2min on/ 1 min off (8miles)

Saturday: Long, hard run (12 miles)

Total: 47 miles

add in 2 gym workouts of 45 minutes of quality and a cross training session, bike ride or swim.

also do 5 x 150 meter strides after most runs.....

steady runs can be easy runs if you need a break... 2 x 3 miles is very nice for a breath of fresh air.

repeat 200's are not done in build up.

600 m hill repeats are the bomb for middle distance.

gym work can include jumps, and dead lifts heavy, bouncing on one leg...

I love 600m hill repeats at 60 degrees on 60 miles per week.

I call it "the 1500m bomb".

Can you actually fck off you are worse than calculo. Stop spamming every fcking thread with tons of links

Quality over quantity.

Laura is just what world athletics needs. An exciting, gutsy runner doing it the right way. She gets the crowd on their feet. What more could you want?

Go on, wee sparra!

Well, considering the fact that Canova is correct because of his experience with these Kenyans, those who beat them must be dopers.

This in turn proves that doping - which works only for inferior athletes according to Canova - can turn inferior athletes to superior ones, who beat the ones that are superior by nature because they can't benefit from doping.

It must suck to be so superior that doping doesn't help, since that leads to the dopers beating you.

This is indeed annoying. Also, poor Coe, he would rather forget all of that.

Unfortunately, there are always the trolls who keep copying rjm's links.

Laura is going for Kelly Holmes UK 1000m record of 2:32.96 next month. The world record is 2:30.94. Could she even challenge that?

2:32.x is extremely tough if you haven't broken 2:00 for 800. She hasn't got blazing 800 speed (I'll say she's probably a 1:58-high/1:59-low gal at the moment) so I'll predict she goes 2:33-high at best in Birmingham.

She'll break the British record.

World record in serious danger.

Note that over 1k cross country at the weekend Muir ran a good 5 seconds faster than anyone else (including the likes of 2:00/4:01 Ciara McGeean) while looking exceptionally easy.

Back to the original question: top current female non-African born talent has to be Klosterhalfen. Fully expect to see her sub 4:00/14:50 very soon.

When you're in Sabadell, get The Bomb, baby.

She should be racing for Scotland. They don't even want to be part of the UK.

Freedom!

I don't give a shit about Coe, just sick of scrolling for a year to get to the bottom of a page cause rjm33 has filled it with his mad ramblings and tons of fcking pictures of random shit like Muir with a dog or Guerrouj in his traditional dress

WHO GIVES A SHIT?!?!?!

It's less than 2 seconds to scroll by.

Maybe you don't like to be reminded that the entire system is filthy corrupt dopers and money extorters.
