Why did marathon runners become so fucking good recently?

[Jason Voorhees]

There's been an explosion of records being broken left and right. 4 records broken in less than 5 years

Women's marathon running that hit a wall and was plateauing for so long also broken to set new records

And history was made in London a few months back with 2 men breaking the impossible under 2 hour marathon mark that was thought to be impossible

A sub 2 hour marathon is extremely impressive. If you arent into distance running. This is legit superhuman shiet. This would be the equivalent of someone underweight casually deadlifting 400 kilos. Previously thought to be physiologically impossible



With these many records being broken left and right. Sports scientists are trying to understand why so many records so suddenly

Some blame super shoes with carbon plates like Nike vapor fly and adizero

Other blame extreme carbohydrate drinks that deliver huge amount of quick carbs for energy without irritating the stomach so runners can push themselves to the limits

Others say it's because of better training techniques, running watches that help runners correct their form, move with absolute efficiency. There are different theories but the next decade of long distance running looks exciting for sure

They get teated

 

[Jason Voorhees]

Epo not anabolics

 

[Krivi.]

They get teated

They use compounds which has extremely low half life inside the body and low dose.
Alor of them can easily pass a drug test

These niggas are crazy I hate distance running makes me feel like I'm going to die. A sub 2 hour marathon is very impressive.

energy gels

 

[vexd]

theirs alot of PEDS u can do which is not detected
also which can be taken orally or mixed into your drink that give a very hard drive to the point where u can't imagine
in like 20-30 minutes


still not every person who trains and runs and takes PEDS is gonna get to these levels,
this is genetic superhuman type stuff maybe gene editing at play who knows but I used to do track and these ppl are genuinely 1 in a 100000000

 

[jgrey080]

It's probably the fact that the training and dieting you can receive today already puts you ahead of almost everyone 20 years ago, and if we also account for natural talent and genetics someone is bound to break the record eventually, multiple times even

I thought it was the shoes right? Some Nike shoes r so good they’re literally banned. Steroids have been around for ages, and idk if marathon runners make enough to afford the latest designer steroids. Plus how would energy drinks have gotten that much better. Wouldn’t the rate at which u can replenish energy thru energy gels or drinks already be pretty maxed out.

As far as I know shoes r the only things that have gotten a lot better recently

Even I used to do long distance running and these numbers don't even sound remotely believable to me. Im not even remotely close to them brutal shiet

Why laughing @Lundgren

 

[Emz]

better shoes come out which helps you bounce better

 

[Lundgren]

Why laughing @Lundgren

Modern training+east african highland training+east african long distance running genes

It is an inhuman achievement but logically explained
