  • Man, if you got this guy to run against the great middle distance runners of today, he would still flatten them. There has never been another like him.

  • @KlamparDafenrad,

    With certainty.

  • Sheer talent aside, Snell had huge reserves of endurance. He built those reserves through years of long runs at just below anaerobic threshold, hill sprint work and, of course, weekly 22-mile runs on the brutal Waiatorua circuit in Auckland. He used his natural speed (slower than most of his opposition) better than anyone else because he was better conditioned than anyone else. Hats off to his coach, Arthur Lydiard! Like today's Africans, he was better because he worked harder and smarter.

  • i met him this weekend and had good convorsations with him

  • Thing is, no one could accuse him of juicing either because there was no such thing yet

  • Someone said that Peter Snell should have been disqualified in the 1500 for not trying hard enough.

  • @musik102 Possibly, no runner at that time had Snells strength....as someone else here said he dominated. Jazy would've been somewhere in the daylight that came 2nd, 3rd & 4th.

  • It's a pity that Michel Jazy didn't run the 1500m in Tokyo. I don't think he would have beaten Peter, but it would have been a lot closer race.

  • Get the audio from this vid at tubepull doht cohm.

  • WOW hes amazing
