WHere is he hammering his workouts with Robby? I've gone on some runs in Charlottesville and just wondering if I would ever happen to bump into him here or whether he is in Reston or somewhere else in Virginia |

Back when he was hanging out in reston I saw at Burke lake a couple times, but that was a few years ago. |

I've seen him on the Rivana trail a few times, running with his fedora. Always with a fedora. Never without a fedora. |

You're probably not going to see him. They have a private facility that they use complete with a track, trails, and extensive road system. They generally do 95% of their training at this location. |

I saw Andrews on the UVA track next to the baseball field doing 200s with brief rest back in february. I'm a weekend warrior, and I was doing a long run and went to the track for a few miles and ran in lane 7 for the padding. I tried to do one 200 with them and fell 10 meters behind by the end despite a full sprint effort. I didn't know it was him at the time but later googled the UVA track team. |

So did you just start chasing him on one of his 200's? This story sounds amusing. |

I ran on rivanna trail the other day by Barracks rd area semi close to UVA. I was wondering if I'd ever bump into Andrews or Webb around there |

I ran up during one of the rest periods and asked if I could join in for one. I don't remember what he said, but there was no objection. I probably looked pretty silly because I was wearing a nathan belt with water bottles. There was another runner doing the same intervals. I asked them what they were training for, and they said, "the olympics." I asked which events, and Andrews said "800 meters," and the other guy said "1500 meters." I don't know who the other guy was, but it definitely wasn't Webb. There was also an older guy in his 40s whom I assume was his coach joining them for an occasional 200 as I was circling the outside of the track at a casual pace. The older guy was actually a better sprinter than myself, able to keep up with Andrews and the other guy, though with long rests. The other young runner actually did a few extra intervals after Andrews was finished. After they finished, they asked me to take a picture of them, and I did. |

This story is so strange I might believe it. |
