Where are the Kenyan Sprinters?

Kenya, like Canada, has a hard time trying to develop a pool of 100m, 200m & 400m sprinters with Olympic and IAAF “A” Standards.

Enough of Clyde Hart and John Smith! What about Tom Tellez?

I’ve been criticized on focusing too much on Clyde Hart and John Smith.
What about Tom Tellez? Coach of Carl Lewis, Michael Marsh, Joe DeLoach, and LeRoy Burrell with the Santa Monica Track Club? Even Jenny Adams up until the end of the 2002 season?
On the Collegiate level, Tellez is currently the […]

440 Yard and 400 Meter Racing - facts and figures

I am going to put a few arguments to rest.
When did they stop running the 440 yard dash?
In 1976, almost all Imperial (English) distances were abolished for track record purposes. The only exception was the Mile run because of its tradition and popularity. The mile (or 1609 meters) starting line is 9 meters back […]

What’s the best way to run the 400 meters?
Go hard for 300 meters and hang on; and if you die, you die? Or run even pace splits?
Both work depending on your conditioning and experience. Once you have a race plan, you stick with it. Of course, talk it over with your coach […]

Attitude

The best example of attitude that I have ever witnessed was American Decathlete Dan O’Brien.
As the 1991 World Champion in his event and the alarming favorite to win the 1992 US Olympic Trials (and the Olympics for that matter), Dan no-heighted in the pole vault at the Trials and as a result missed making the […]
