Wow: G Dibaba has entered Doha DL women's 800 where she'll clash with Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui

The problem was that the 'check in your coach's hotel room drawers test' came back positive.

No, yo don't get it. Just stfu.

Do you want people going around saying you're a pedophile? Well, you probably are one, but if you're not then that would be slander.

Jones and Armstrong and Gay are different people, dumbfck. Are you a pedophile because you ate at Subway? Well you must be because Jared Fogle was Subway spokesman.

Calm down. Everything will be okay.

I'm genuinely rooting for "3:50 Dibaba" to show up. I hope her blood is lava-like and her ferritin is off the charts.

Why don't you just blow your worthless brains out, you lying scum? You don't have any reason to live.

You're not following me, I want Dibaba to steam roll Semenya and Wambui like a train. Which should be easy for her, since her arms have train tracks going up and down..

Irony is beautiful.

Wouldn't she have an advantage in speed endurance considering she is a 1500 runner?

I've seen her straight sprint for close to three laps.

Go get'em GB!

I don't think you understand how running works.

If you were training an athlete and they managed to run 49.5 for the 400m, 3:50 for the 1500m, what would you tell them to aim for in the 800m?

They have tremendous speed and endurance. I would tell them to aim for sub 1:51. They have the pace to feel comfortable going through the bell in 54 and the endurance to hang on for a 56/57.

You, presumably, think such an athlete could only manage 1:55?

There are no 1:50 women correct. There are also no 1500m women with a 49s 400m. It's ludicrous.

Genzebe is a prototypical build for a woman miler. She has the powerful calves and hip flexors of a quarter-miler. She has feet bigger than a typical distance runner, more like a sprinter, but her upper body is very light and balanced. And she has deep lungs and strong abs. She has a lot of power in her ahss and thighs too. Nothing like a short sprinter, of course, but very much like any 400/800 girl

Are you flogging yourself off to a picture of her right now?

I guess I just find it laughable that Team El Gerrouj became her advisor as Jama ate tapas in the Sabadell Jail.

Where in the world did you get that out of what I said? Her best lap pace for mile is usually around 56, she can't hold that for another lap.

Again, I don't understand your argument because you keep referencing this 1:50 time. No woman is ever going to run that fast. But many women run 49 every year.

If she trained for sprinting she would not automatically carry the endurance from her 3:50 because she is over taxing her reserves in a 400m, way beyond what she uses to pace for a mile, so your projections are way off. She would be just like other runners in that event.

Per the all-time lists, no woman appears to have run both sub 50 and sub 4:00 in the 400/1500.

I imagine the reason 1:50 was referenced in the original post was that you would expect an individual capable of both 49.xx and 3:50.xx to be capable of running 1:50. In fact, we generally see a couple 49.x/3:50.x high schoolers each outdoor season. It's not an uncommon line.

Dibaba's the fastest woman ever over 1500m, but why do you think that translates to a sub 50 quarter? The physiological demands between the 1500 and 400 are about as similar as the physiological demands between the 1500 and half marathon; success in one no way guarantees (and to some extent probably hampers) capability in the other.

Well, that's certainly better than the child porn you prefer

400m to 1500m is about as similar as the 200m to the 800m. The half marathon is a lot closer to the 1500m than the 400m is, physiologically.

200m : 20% aerobic

400m :

It's mostly Rjm33 using different aliases

There's also pop-pop seems to have a few aliases too

It's just a flawed reference. First of all you can't compare women to male HS runners, completely different biology.. Of course no woman has done sub 50/sub 4:00. One of the main reason is they are events that are never bound at the elite level.

You make a good point regarding the physio demands. But my point all along is that she has the hip flexors/lower legs of a quarter-miler. I may be wrong, and probably am, wouldn't be the first time. She could very well bottom out at 53. It's unlikely we'll ever find out because she will not do hard 400 training and training out of the blocks etc. But I think it could be done.

Didn't they use to say it was impossible for any man to go sub 10/20/44? Then along came Van Niekirk

* 400m : 40 aerobic

800m : 60 aerobic

1500m : 80 aerobic

Half marathon : 90 aerobic

Training for the 1500m will hamper your 400m ability for sure.

I believe Dibaba that she "competes crystal clean." I just hope during her training cycle she "overslept in her altitude tent," if you get my drift. Perhaps during her track workouts, she "injected" a lot of surges..
