	Fermín Cacho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fermín Cacho Ruiz (born February 16, 1969) is a Spanish athlete, winner of the 1500 metres at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
		Cacho's first notable result came in 1990, when he finished second in the 1500 m at the European Indoor Championships in Glasgow.
		In taking evasive action, Cacho was forced to leap over the fallen El Guerrouj, in a manoeuvre which he later estimated had lost him 5 metres of ground to Morceli, who had commenced his final lap sprint for the finish.

	1500 metres Training (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		1500 metres race pace - to improve VO2 max and resistance to fatigue and train the body to operate at the required 1500 metres pace- specific endurance sessions would involve maximum distances of 1200 metres in a single repetition with 2 to 3 minutes recovery
		If the athlete has a target personal best (tpb) of 240 seconds for the 1500 metres then running at tpb+10% pace would require the athlete to complete the 1500 metres in 266 seconds, (240 ÷ 0.9) so the 500 metres should be completed in 88.8 seconds.
		It is possible to predict your 800 metres, 1500 metres, 3 km, 5 km, 10 km, ½ Marathon and Marathon times from your current 1500 metres time using Frank Horwill's four second rule for male athletes and Frank Horwill's five second rule for female athletes.

		He gained the metre or two needed to get onto El Guerrouj's shoulder, but that was the last effort he could find.
		Lagat was only a metre behind in 3:34.30, but it could jsut as well have been 30 because it was a gap he could not close.

	Middle Distance Running (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Comparing past and present world record holders it would appear that 800 metres and 1500 metres male athletes are most likely to peak around the age of 25 and female athletes at 27 years of age.
		Guidance on the running technique of the middle distance runner is provided in the form of a series of pictures and associated notes that highlight the main technical points.
		As many coaches will tell you, and quite rightly so, a training program has to be developed to meet the individual needs of the athlete and take into consideration many factors: gender, age, strengths, weaknesses, objectives, training facilities etc. As all athletes have different needs a single program suitable for all athletes is not possible.

		As an Under 17 in 1996 he won the Scottish Schools 5000 metres in 15:46 and was second in the SAF 1500 in 4:06.
		His 3000 metres remained a relatively pedestrian 8-19.4 but his 5000 metres time was slashed to 14:04.6 - 36 seconds from his previous personal record.
		That was strange because he won the Scottish Indoor 3000 metres in late January, had the two runs under 14 minutes for 5000 metres and had previously won the National Under 20 title.
