It’s from a article at the time he ran his 19.58.

“I haven’t done any speed-work yet, but the 400s I did earlier showed my fitness.”

Asked what he meant by “no speed-work”, Gay explained, “Speed-work in practice is maybe 60m fast, 30m fast, running and running and running.”

“I haven’t really touched it yet. I may have done a couple 60ms in practice, and some starts, that’s considered speed-work, but I haven’t really turned my body on. I’ve been doing 400m and longer distances.”

Drummond said he broke 120m PB at training before the 150. So, no speed work?

Guess he limits speed work to 60m sprints :smiley: lol

19.58, and no speed work - just those lovely 400s :slight_smile: Maybe he would have been even faster if he had done 800s LOL In Gay we trust! :stuck_out_tongue:
