Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
Out of curiosity, how close would the normal person be to this level vs a top level athlete
The normal range for hemoglobin in a male is 14-17, in a female 12-15. Polycythemis is defined as hemoglobin greater than 18.5 for men, 16.5 for women. It's been claimed that an athlete training at altitude could (rarely) achieve these levels. More likely it would be due to blood doping or epo.
