Re: drop-off from '88-89 to '92 and '96
I used to work out w/ Janet back in high school (a couple of lanes over, I must admit), and while I was not privy to what was going on for her, I do recall hearing from mutual friends...
She got burned out to a degree
her body changed and it was difficult to make adjustments
the limelight and the pressure took a massive toll
Again. This is very 2nd hand and 15 years+ ago, so take it w/ a grain of salt. It's also not too revealing.
But if she's anywhere near where she was in training back in the early '90s, she'll be a threat to qualify. She used to routinely pull sub 4:20's during sets in workout.
Typical set back in '87, '88: 5x400 lcm
warm-up on 5:00
then 4:50
4:40
4:30
4:20
She would make the set easily.
