Do you think this is possible?
What speaks against it? Well, a sprinter who explodes out of the blocks “wastes” energie that is helpful at the SE-Phase.
But what speaks for these calculation?Well, watch how often Maurice Greene is listed: It seems that it might be possible to run a WHOLE race at this level.
So,what do you think about it?
