Koreans: Why Bolt runs 400m

I’ve heard stories like that and worse/better depending on how you look at it. The US hired a Korean to coach the national team here and he’s just destroying them. Stuff like being forced to run miles both directions to and from practice at a very young age. Stuff like that.

Jumped them straight into about 6 hours/day of training, several hours on the ice and 3 hours of dryland conditioning. Day after day after day.

Because that’s what a 20 year old Korean (who has survived that long) should be capable of. Nevermind that the US athletes don’t have the 10 year+ buildup to that level of training.

The system ‘works’ when you have thousands of people and don’t care about the throwaways. Not so much when you don’t.
