I agree Frank that its a certainty that someone will break 2 hours in the next 30 years, its also IMHO a certainty that they'll be on something.
Today guys are running the second half of a 10K in what was the world record for the 5K just a few years ago. That is just too big a leap to believe that better training is responsible....distance training isn't rocket science, just a lot of hard work.
I'm not going to name names or point fingers, but the records started to tumble when Belgian and Italian cycling coaches went to Africa to work with athletes there.
