      Was Komen running indoors in that record?

      Also, no one could’ve predicted Grant’s insane progression over the last 2 years, which is why it’s sus. When I wrote this, no one was breaking 13, no one was running sub 3’55, no one was running sub 7’35. Barely any Americans had even run close to sub 27’10. We’re not even factoring in super shoes/super spikes 😂 and if people think they don’t make a difference they’re insane. The amount of extra training you can do with Vaporfly’s on your feet is wild. Remember, Galen was running 100 miles a week on an underwater treadmill because that was the best way they could find to increase volume of work without causing more damage. Now the shoes and spikes are doing it. We’re in a difference era now. However, my point with Galen in the half or full still stands. Maybe someone could snipe him in a half marathon but no American is beating him head to head in a marathon.

      You are allowed to have pacers as long as they start in the starting line and not to be merged after the race begins.

    • @connorfitzpatrick6571
      @connorfitzpatrick6571 6 років тому +20

      They were pacers, just there to help set the speed needed to break the WR, and they couldn't finish the race at that pace so they drop out and get out of the way of Rupp (the guy who they're pacing for)

    • @TheXscreech2004x

    • @Worldpeaceforeverremains
      @Worldpeaceforeverremains 6 років тому +13

      Pacers are runners who run the next level down from the race they are pacing for. For example this was a 2 mile race, the pacers are probably 1 mile runners, they are better at it so Rupp an keep up with same speed and since he is more endurance trained he is able to keep that same high speed for a lot longer. Once you set yourself at a high speed and with the right training you could surpass pain level and dominate.
