The Unforgiving Minute

Thanks for Marist alum Pete Startz (class of 2000, just ran Boston with classmate Tom Henry) for sending me the link to this article from the Irish Times regarding 400-meter repeats.

Pete knows all too well my affinity for quarters. Pretty amazing what Emil Zatopek did back in his day in terms of 400-meter repeats. Makes that legendary chapter from Once A Runner seem tame by comparision.

Anyway, check it out, I think you will enjoy it ...

  1. I find Zatopek's training totally unfathomable. Of course,the two missing pieces of info: time for the 400 and recovery time.
