Looked to be laboring down the stretch or is that just his style of running? 

Looked like me in 8th grade when I would stop breathing down the home stretch and throw up after every race

Two of my favorite things in sports are when someone comes from way back to win, and when someone does something they’ve never done before because that’s what it took to win. Team sports can’t really do that, and sports where single competitors compete on time like most skiing events can’t provide that visceral comeback/ chase down. 
 

track and swimming provide those things quite well.  Hocker did both yesterday. Sounds like I have some good tv to watch again tonight.

The training for that is the worse. 
 

Coach has you doing like 5 200s with little rest. Run em under 30sec if I remember. 

then like 3 300s blah blah 

a couple 400s to end the day  

and thats on like a random Monday … still got 4 more days of the week haha 

 

Not to go old school but that was not close to what we ran. I ran distance and every Tuesday was 25 ( yep twenty five) quarter miles at race pace with a 220 jog (not a walk) between them. We had the number one high school miler in the USA and the number 1 or 2 two miler so those were run at just over 60 seconds. Our workouts for the quarter milers were equally intense.

mmmmm, Lieke Klaver.  she got lucky there.

No kidding.  What in the world was she thinking? It was like she heard the starter call it off except he didn't. And yeah - the hold times before the gun seen really long.
