t-and-f: Donald Sage

Was out at Berkeley today to catch the Pac-10s, and Donald Sage was impressive. Unleashed a 54-second final quarter to kick down teammates Riley, Hejny and others,and take second behind Gabe in the 1500. Came back in the 5,000 (won impressively by host Cal's Bolota Asmeron) and went for it in

Complete nonsense. After the Bannister-Landy "mile of the century" a954 concluded with a mere two runners under 4 minutes (Santee I think ran no faster than 4:00.6) . There was a race, next, where 3 people ran 3:59 or thereabouts. Laslo Tabori was one of them. Chataway may have been one

RE: t-and-f: Christian Science Monitor: factual error?

One small comment. At the time, 0.2 of a second was demanded (rounding up). Landy's actual time was 3:57.9 (as you'll find it these days in every historical list). hence Wesbury Santee's 4:00.5 is also convertible into 4:00.6 under the rules of those years. I think 1955 or 1956 actually saw the

There are 3 different types of heavy chains or isoforms: I, IIa, and IIx. The type I isoform is referred to as a slow fiber and the IIa and IIx isoforms are called fast fibers. it seems that through a weight training regiment, some fast IIx fibers are converted to IIa fibers. Oddly enough, no
