So just wondered, have any of you trained with someone you seriously thought was doping?
I train with someone who about 3-4 weeks ago, was of similar speed to myself, if not a bit slower on some things. This person is training for what I think is called an Ultraman - and they put in serious distance in all three disciplines every week. So, this person is already quite buff, not an ounce of fat on him/her, and I could tell s/he was just dragging, from all the excessive training s/he's been doing, when suddenly out of no where s/he's like 10 seconds faster in 100 repeats. S/he is super motivated, I'll grant him/her that, but in my experience that kind of improvement doesn't happen overnight like it has here. Not only that but s/he is now able to go like 7000, and maintain his/her tempo/speed/energy level to the end, when s/he was going only about 2500 in an average workout before.
Thoughts?
I find it incredible that masters athletes would dope. I mean, I'm kind of curious to know what it might feel like, but to win? Jeesh.
As we say in parts of the UK "there's nowt queerer than folk".
Theres always someone curious enough, brave (stupid) enough to give it a go. I've seen several candidates with Ben Johnson bloodshot eyes, start and finish races, putting in amazing masters performances in the pool that were never drug tested!
hopefully testing will become more commonplace
