    Watching this man run the 400m compared to other ELITE athletes is like watching Usain Bolt run the 100m. He just stands out among the stand outs, his form looks like it's from another planet. I have never seen a more relaxed runner on the 400m, he looks like he's not aware of the competition. He can go sub 43. I think 42.78 is a bold damn statement, but a 42.89-.91 certainly seems like a possibility.

      Oregon is a "fast track". That's why most U.S athletes ran incredible times at trials there but they failed to replicate their performances at the big stage.
      Look at the Women's 100m at the 2016 olympic trials. Gardner, Bowie and Bartoletta all run under 10.8 in the finals.
      Then in Tokyo Bartoletta didn't qualify for the finals, and both Bowie and Gardner ran 10.83 and 10.94 respectely in the olympic final. Way far from their trials times.

    To run a 43.03 400 meters is to run a 10.75 100 meters back to back 4 times consecutively with zero rest. It's next to impossible to run 10.75 100 meters 4 times in a row with 60 seconds rest in between.
    So in order to break that record or run a 43.00 flat takes a V02 max that's off the charts, a rare mutation of fast twitch fibers, perfect peak in training cycle and total brain 🧠 cooperation/determination/belief to pull that off. At around the 300 meters mark ur brain is sending natural signals for u to stop bcuz the muscles R so full of lactic acid. So ur brain has to be great at blocking those signals.
    Records R broken all the time but the 400 meters record tends to stand for a while.

Hell, no one has even come close to MJs old record, why do peeps all the sudden think 43.02 or sub 43 is possible…it’s not. I’m 50 and I’ll be shocked if it’s broken in my lifetime.

    I'm not an expert and I'm speaking purely out of my personal experience and some physics. If bb only he could position his spine to be as much neutral as possible. Watch his back while sprinting. He is flying, effortlessly, but if he leaned his chest just a little bit forward, i believe he could gain a couple of hundredths of a second. Believe me, there's a lot of stress on the spine when running like this, especially running that fast. Anyway, I'd love him to improve that segment and witness, let's be optimistic, 42:95 or a few hundredths more.
