Is threshold training dead?

Is threshold training old news? Should we all be following the "American Method"?

Dan & Owain talk through the mens 1500m Olympic final; how the race played out, what training is best to run a championship 1500m, will we see a shift of training methods in the next 4 years.

What did you think of the 1500m final, and the rest of the Olympic events?

Do you use threshold training yourself?
