Said Aouita INSANE training system (detailed workouts, secret information)

[@mikevaldez7684]

We would hear his name in the 80s, and we never forgot that rhythmic iconic name that rolled off our tongues after the '84 Olympics. Long live Said Aouita! 🙋🙏

[@RunnerUniverse]

He was so popular in the 80's that give him the legandary and iconic status, sure he's one of the best in history. Thank you for your comment

@@RunnerUniverse I didn't even follow running then, & had no idea what he was about, but I knew the name & I knew then that he was great! 🙋🙏

Sure, he is

[@RunnerUniverse]

Appreciate those words 🙏

​@@RunnerUniverseyes.

[@johnlast55]

Said Aouita is one of the best, he was ICONIC at the eighties, especially competing and racing 3 extraordinary British athletes and beats them ALL. Thank you for this insight on his training.

[@RunnerUniverse]

Yes he was one of the greatest, Appreciate your comment

[@mikevaldez7684]

​@@RunnerUniverseYes, the greatest! 🙋🙏

[@APBCTechnique]

Cram beat Aouita in a world record 1500m, seb Coe & Aouita dodged each other and didn’t race nor did Ovett race Aouita. Cram beat Aouita in the 1983 world championships too. He didn’t beat any UK top 3 runners

[@mikevaldez7684]

@@APBCTechnique Aouita had a partially torn hamstring; no one could beat him when he was healthy. You're a gaslighter😁

[@mikevaldez7684]

@hbnet309 In 83 Aouita also had an injured hamstring in that race; his coach told me.

Шикарное видео! Ауита- великий бегун Его лучший результат на 1 милю до сих входит в число 10 лучших. Он первым пробежал 3000м быстрее 7.30 и 5000м быстрее 13 минут. А его рекорд на 1500м держался 7 лет

[@RunnerUniverse]

Благодарю за ваш комментарий, да, Ауита - один из величайших людей на средней дистанции, и он вписал свое имя в историю книг.

Great video

[@RurbanWalker]

Great video. Love the specifics of the training program. Well presented.

[@RunnerUniverse]

Appreciate your comment 🙏

[@wvu05]

How does he so often get forgotten? He was unquestionably the greatest runner of the 1980s. Was it just because he was overshadowed by coverage of Coe vs. Ovett and then adding Cram to the mix?

[@RunnerUniverse]

Thank you for your comment. Indeed, during that era, Britain dominated the middle distance running scene with three extraordinary athletes. Consequently, Said Aouita, hailing from an Arab country, received less coverage and recognition, despite being one of the greatest runners of all time.

[@teesmith501]

He had insane versatility and range, his training methods emphasizing quality over quantity and a lot of intense track sessions reminds me of Jakob Ingebrigtsen

I read that other athletes reportedly saw him do a 200 session where all 200s were low 23 with 20m jog recovery around 5 seconds don't know how many reps

[@RunnerUniverse]

He did alot of change of pace training routine, he was pioneer in that aspect, one of the best. Thank you for your comment 🙏

It's a challenging task because there isn't much information available on Edwin Moses' training on the internet. thank you for your comment.

Athletes can run very fast and recover very quickly on PED's.

[@ZATHURAKEY]

Not for a decade straight , he wasn't a one hit wonder and they would have caught him at sometime . I believe he was a clean athlete and one of the greatest of all time

[@RunnerUniverse]

We cannot accuse someone of doping unless they fail a doping test. There are many cases that warrant investigation, often glaringly obvious to us, yet the individuals involved are cleared or not accused. Yes, doping leads to the same outcome as you mentioned unfortunatly that somthing we cannot get ride of our sport.

[@mikevaldez7684]

All athletes use peds. He was the greatest middle distance runner ​@@ZATHURAKEY

[@mikevaldez7684]

​@@RunnerUniverseAgreed 👍. But it doesn't matter, he was the greatest middle distance runner of all time.🙋🙏

[@wvu05]

​@@RunnerUniverse I wouldn't go quite that far (for example, Barry Bonds passed every drug test and his head swelled like a balloon), but Aouita had no telltale sign of PED usage such as a change in physique or suddenly needing braces because of an elongated jaw like Carl Lewis and a lot of other sprinters of the era did.
