George Mills – 3000 m silver medalist
Men’s 3,000 truly all about who would come Second! Realistically, Jakob Ingebrigten was always going to beat it. George’s mills were determined to keep everyone honest – Leading and pushing the pace. Eventually Jakob Took the lead and was not going to catch, but equally never showered from the mills.
7: In 49.41, the second finished mills, Then he said: “I came here to win and compete and that’s what I tried to do. The silver on the paper was the least minimum of what I should have to have less disappointment. I think we did what we expected, but we need to improve.
“In the past and 1500, watching the 3K races of Europeans, looking at how they run and knowing how Jakob is aware of what is going to do. I wanted to be in front of the position, so I controlled where I wanted to be. I didn’t want to catch too far and skip jump when people took steps.
“You can see the race, I was always in a good position and I was able to protect different attacks when different people tried to move to the front. So I could have a very smooth controlled race, so I could get the most out of the race. “
George Mills is one of the athletes I have ever met. During the recent conversation with writers of GB athletics, he explained his approach to life and training. Here are some of the most important events
“I spent the whole winter in Dulbir, South Africa. Same as always. Eat, sleep, train. It’s a special place. I personally love it, therefore why I spend so much time there. But there isn’t a lot. Perhaps a few cafes, a few restaurants. We have been created in the gym, there are some good trails to run and for me everything I need …
“My lunch is just chicken and rice. Not too much. Clearly. Hourk doesn’t speed you up. “
Akkob’s assessment tells a lot about his approach. “Obviously he is a phenomenal athlete. Everyone got targeted on their back. So I go to Apeloyan to compete. No one in this sport is invincible. If you do everything yourself and 100 percent a day, everything is possible. “
In winter, the mills are located in the Alps, which are in the German German Athletics Coach Thomas Drisigar, in winter, are in the Alps of Summer and South Africa or Spain. In an article recently It’s more than medalsDreissigacker described his method as “Modern science with experience, to develop and turn off athletes.”
Speaking about his training, he described it as a “high volume-based threshold system. So that’s what I did in the last three and a little years, I slowly evolve that we grow older each year and are able to train more. The threshold system is fundamental now for high-level stability runners. And that’s what you do around it, It makes you make a level you need. I think Norwegians were the first to do it with any great success. But now there are very good examples where athletes use this learning system and be performed at a high level. “
Finally, he gave an interesting prospect when he asked if the recent obvious times were due to the technological developments in the footsteps or shoes. “None of these points have nothing to do with it. I think it’s just getting better. When all the athletes around each other are improved, it just keeps raising. That’s all.
“If we look at the roads, there is clearly a lot of benefit (in shoes), but it’s a little benefit on track, but I’m less convinced. I think that just when people run quickly, they also believe they can run fast. When the bar is at a certain level, you must reach that level if you want you to be able to compete. That’s all. And training. If you train more, you will do. On a global scale, if talented athletes make more training, there will be faster times on microcra. “
I found that it refreshes to listen to George, who gives straight answers and says it’s like it.
