    As I said in the doping thread, I got it direct from a gold medal winning rower from London 2012 that bloods are the only thing they are interested in now. I think that is pretty conclusive that V02 max is indeed very out-dated.

    If you'd posted this in the Clinic you'd be told that rowing is a sport Britain is good at, just like track cycling, and as Brailsford was in charge of the GB Olympic track cycling the other Olympics sports teams are clearly in on it and the rowers are likely doping too. Plus that Jurgen Grobler, he's from East Germany (just like Jan Ullrich) and there's been lots of rumours about his training methods and connection to doping before he came over to the UK (this bit is at least true) so he's clearly dodgy and this is further evidence that Froome is indeed doping ;)


    Now you put it like that I think you have a point.

    Interesting, but the thing I noticed most in the article was that Dr. Evil has run a 2h30 marathon!

    So he was faster than any women when he did that.
    2h 30 is the standard that club athletes try to beat.
    Not my scene but many cycling friends are now club athletes.

    I wonder if that was done while developing his 'training plans'?

    ATC - the believers are just sick to death of all the nonsense. I'm mystified as to why people are so bound up with all this pointless conjecture when there's a fantastic Tour to enjoy

    I don't the think the Kimmage faithful are sick of all the nonsense though, they thrive on it, they perpetuate it, it's all their interested in, as you say at the expense of the racing.
    Correlation is not causation.

    3 hours is a more realistic standard for most club athletes. Sub 2.45 will get you a UK championships place at the London Marathon. Only 59 men in the country got below 2.30 last year.

    Ferrari's time was very respectable, although for some reason the strength in depth 25 years ago was greater than it is now in marathon running, even though at the top end runners are getting faster and faster nowadays.

    A bloke in my office did sub 2:30 in the London last year (or maybe the year before) and he thought his time was "not bad".

    Coming from a running background I'd say 3 hours was a recognisable target for most club athletes, 2:45 for 'good' club athletes and 2:30 only for the best handful. I realised these wooly terms may not translate to cycling parlance...
