Sell has an interesting foot fall for a marathoner. Those ground shots made it noticeable. Boston is going to be sick! Can't wait!

most of that has to due with fact he's not running a marathon in those shots. Foot plant is a result of speed, not a certain stride type.

Yup, lots of them just naturally ran 150 miles a week growing up?? These guys can run faster because they've trained longer, harder and probably better.
@ Whatswrong
Fitness is cumulative. You can't just go out and run 1000 miles in a week and become 100x more fit. It takes years for the body to adapt to and benefit from running. (about 8 years solid for distance runner to reach a "full" potential to be more specific)

maybe you're doing too high of mileage that you can handle that its taking the quality out of many of your workouts
always quality over quantity!

What's Wrong   April 16 at 12:55pm
Hey, maybe some of you can help me out. I try to run 100+ miles per week like the Brooks guys and do some repeat 1000's but I can't seem to get as fast as these guys. What am I doing wrong?

Sell does two runs a day unless it's his long run day. usually 12-14 in the morning and then a little shorter in the afternoon

Im pretty sure Morgan and most of the rest of the Hansons were at Gate River a couple days before St. Patty's day. They might not have been working out.

Simple Simon   April 15 at 10:07pm
Ryan maybe you can answer this. Does Sell do the 22 miles in a single run per day (the Wetmore philosophy) or does he do two a days?

Michael M. thinks he knows everything about training. Tell me if I'm wrong, but have you produced any Olympians recently? Ever? They can call splits however that want.

"That coach was really into the splits. I don't think that calling each 400 and the last 200 down to the hundredths of a second was really needed.

It probably just confuses the runners."
I doubt it confuses the runners, they are used to keeping track of splits and pacing themselves- it helps them to know exactly how fast they're running and where they're at.

In defense of my fellow Anonymous Coward, I was pretty sure that it would be clear that our fellow Anonymous Coward at the bottom is not a native English speaker. Now if you people would broaden your horizons away from Flotrack and actually met someone who did not speak English, you would easily be able to recognize that not only is our friend Anonymous Coward 1 not from the U.S., but would be pretty conversational, that is of course, if you didn't have your head in your ass while talking to him. Cheers!
