I\u2019m not a fan, but I think now that I\u2019ve been out for a while, I have to actually start running. Because when I walk upstairs, I get out of breath. I think when I start working on it fully again, I will probably have to do some laps just to get my breathing right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite those struggles, Bolt\u2019s name still dominates the record books. His 100m world record of 9.58 seconds, set in 2009, remains untouched, as do his marks in the 200m (19.19) and 4x100m relay (36.84).<\/p>\n<p>Even with modern advancements in training, nutrition, and technology, nobody has come close to beating his times. \u201cWe\u2019re just more talented. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying. Of course, it shows when it comes to the men. You can see the women are different. They\u2019re running faster times and faster times. So it shows \u2013 it has to be the talent.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fastest man in history Usain Bolt has made a surprising confession about life after sprinting.
