It is not right to even compare a time on a 307m track with a time on a 200m track. Indoor records are slower than outdoor records because of the turns. It is all about the turns. There is no wind indoors and wind slows you down in anything 400m or more. All the gain comes from fewer turns.
Anselm’s 1:56.29 indoors on a 200m track is decidedly better than 1:55.7 on 307m. Note that the outdoor WR & AR on a 400m track is Sal Allah’s 1:54.18 run in 2005. More than 1 1/2 seconds faster than this 1:55.7.
This is like comparing a time in the Fifth Av Mile with a track time.
Marie-Louise –
Marks set at the University of Washington’s Dempsey indoor track are good enough to qualify for NCAAs, a topic of much current debate on the letsrun.com forums:
The UW track turns in fast times for sure, but I’ve competed there and I don’t think it’s all about the turns. The surface itself is magic. Still, a comparison to the downhill Fifth Ave Mile is over the top.
Dang Marie-Louise, don’t you think a simple “Congrats to Tony” would be in order?
Mark-
So you can qualify for the NCAAs at UW. But you can’t run an NCAA record there.
I am proud to know and have had the pleasure to be in the same races with Tony, Anselm and Sal. Congratulations to all three. I thank them for inspiring me to keep at it.

Louise is right!!
Tom Dickson M55 clocked a 7.73 at the UW on January 17 equalling the Canadian M55 record.
Jana Gedde, not present at this meet, clocked an 8.22 in the 60m on January 31—One of the top five all-time W50 performances.
Whether it’s a record or not it is a great run for a M46. TY is a serious butt kicker. Read his training log sometime on the masters thread on Let’s Run. How his 46 yo body can handle the training he does is amazing.
Record or no record, it was an awesome race. Great job Tony!!
Tony’s time was a great accomplishment and I congratulate him on his fantastic time. However, it is disrespectful of Anselm to say he “collected another never-to-be ratified world indoor record”. This is simply my point.
Indoor records are kept separately because there are more turns. And everybody knows turns slow you down.
A regulation indoor 800m has 8 turns. on a 307m track it has 5 turns. An outdoor 800m has 4 turns.
The smaller track also has tighter turns, the larger has longer straightaways.
In the open when a low time is reported on an oversized track it is just reported as such. No mention is made of record. We should be just as respectful of masters.
Nothing but respect for my Masters brethren, especially those setting the marks ahead of me. I would love to race these events on a 200m track, but not privy to one out here. Fortunate to have the one of the fastest tracks in the land up here in the PNW.
Still see a lot of improvement (as long as there are no injuries) going into Outdoors. So glad that these are all 400m!
Go Masters
Hey Tony,
Great running, and excellent time……no matter what track you ran it on! Glad to see you back on your game. Stay healthy.
Sal
Thx Sal ~ it has been a couple years since I felt the “bounce” again.
Health to you!
Tony it would be nice, if you Jim and Carnegie race at Mt SAC this year.
…. That bounce again…..I know what you mean, Tony. I’m hopeful I’ve found the course to experience that again -if it’s his will.
My day-to-day is a test in itself, but this is such the case with strong-willed masters athletes. We seem to find a way…I’ll find mine.
Wishing you and your family health & prosperity.
Saladin (Sal)Allah
