So fucking wrong. Disgusting. I was a miler and half miler. The amount of training you have to do to be at or near the top is extreme and all consuming. To take that away from a young person, anyone, is criminal. I will not be surprised to learn that these fake lowlifes somehow get injured and can’t compete.
Not just the volume. It’s the interval work, the intensity. Running at near sprint speed to sheer collapse and exhaustion by oxygen debt and lactic acid buildup only to have to repeat it over and over in one given workout. Middle distance training is the most difficult - by far.

Yup, all that hard work. Running many miles every day for months and years, just to be beaten by a male, who god built differently.
