Could the dots also be connected another way? Using results drawn from several Swedish studies, it seems that for some reason, Kenyan (and possibly other African athletes) seem to have less muscle breakdown and hence faster recoveries with repeated stress. Couldn't this be a reason why methods that might have worked for him in Kenya ( without the use of steriods) might not be possible here? Dr. Rosa's system worked great for his Kenyan athletes. The training program has been seen on the internet before: Long progression run ending at or below marathon pace, up to 25x1:00/1:00, 13 mile straight uphill run finishing very very hard, long repeats at 10k-10mile race pace, all for weeks on end. To me everything looks pretty normal except for the added 13 mile straight uphill workout. One week of the above won't kill anyone, but it's the "weeks on end" part that gets me. So FILA/Rosa start up a US program using the above and the athletes procede to get injured or slide down the slippery slope of chronic fatigue. So, the question is asked "Why?". My answer is hGH or a synthetic steroid, something that enhances protein synthesis so recovery is quickened so that Rosa's Kenyan athletes can handle such intense workloads week after week after week. I wouldn't have drawn my conclusion if it weren't for Rosa's shady past. I simply connected the dots. Alan MSN 8: Get 6 months for $9.95/month.

ART, That was a foolish post, don't you think? Key words: anyone, can do, near all out, ... Foolish thoughts. Hell, anyone can do 10x200 near all out with 200 meter recoveries at the end of an easy run everyday but I wouldn't call that a very hard workout. Sprint work isn't made to be tiresome. So in his ONE week we have a long run, a hard tempo-type run,

It's no problem for those math majors who can figure out how to give 200% every time they set their foot on the track. I tried giving 150% once, and produced a divide-by-zero error. My theory is, for anybody whose coach says they gave a 200% effort today!, in reality they gave 85%, and they'd never before given more than 60%, which is all the coach thought they had in them. Idiot football coaches trying to coach track. RT On Thu, 28 Aug 2003 23:39:54 EDT, you wrote: ART, That was a foolish post, don't you think? Key words: anyone, can do, near all out, ...

t-and-f: Advantage in 5000? Predicto M/200
Who has the advantage in the WC 5000 final? El G moving up from 1500 or Kenny B moving down from 10,000? What will the last mile and the last 200 be run in?
Re: t-and-f: Advantage in 5000? Predicto M/200
According to all the discussions I've read here, the last 200 has to be run in 24.5. Go ahead and award my prize to me.

Re: t-and-f: 12:57 last 5000
This reminds me of a certain track coach that will remain unnamed (AND IT WASN'T anyone at Arkansas). Here's the conversation: Schiefer: Coach, you know, I, for some reason, just can't seem to stay with the top guys for 10,000m. Coach's response: Well, I think you just need to try harder! How awesome is that. A college coach telling someone that they just need to try harder.

t-and-f: Worlds on TV - non PC
OK, I have resisted commenting on the quality of the announcing - there has been some good and some bad and there's really no point in castigating people for inaccuracies. But. . . close to 10:00 of coverage of the two wheelchair races and less than 1:00 of the 50 km race walk? Or did I miss the additional 50 km race walk coverage? The 50 km walk had a world best along with the fastest ever time for second place and possibly for some of the other places as well. - Ed Parrot
t-and-f: Edwin Moses Comeback?!!
On the BBC Radio Five broadcast from Paris tonight, commentator Sebastian Coe reported, apparently seriously, that Edwin Moses is contemplating a comeback in the 400 Hurdles in anticipation of next year's Olympics. Coe said he had just met with Moses, and that Edwin is in remarkably good shape. A liitle hard to believe, but that's what Coe reported. SGMW __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: t-and-f: Edwin Moses Comeback?!!
Seeing Moses in the blocks again is a wonderful thought, and he could be in terrific shape; but anyone who's ever sprinted knows that, with age, speed is the first thing a runner loses--and loses fast--even if he or she never stopped training for speed.
Re: t-and-f: Edwin Moses Comeback?!!
What is he now, 45 or 50? Maybe coming back in the Masters ranks...
