"If I run slower than 6 min/mile pace my knee blows up and aches. I'm basically the bus from Speed, except Sandra Bullock isn't riding me •_•"

Discuss the implications for the OTs and beyond.

If his knee blows up he probably won't make the team.

If his knee doesn't blow up he probably will make the team.

6min/mile pace to a 1:43 guy is like walking.

Form changes at 3:30 / mile pace vs. 6:00 / mile pace. Can't handle shock of plodding, can (for now) handle running. He may make it through the Olympics but he will need to address it or his career will be a short one.

I would rather have Maggie Vessey riding me than Sandra Bullock, anyway.

I see him sometimes on Pre's Trail, and he's usually going about 7:00-7:30 mile pace. He was joking, guys.

If that were the case, then walking would be really like crawling.

Then what the hell is crawling? WHAT IS IT??????/

crawling to Nick Symmonds is like standing still for normal people.

when Nick Symmonds is standing still, he feels the same sensation that normal people feel when walking backwards.

I experienced the same thing on the treadmill, EXACTLY, and reported it here on the board:

http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=3833437&page=4

I have since learned to run slower than 10mph and not injure myself, by concentrating on form and recovery.

I, too, find it much easier on the body to go very fast. Last time I went for a slow 8k jog with my wife, my right knee "blew up" just like Symmonds'. That was last fall.

I think this is his 6th year as a pro, the entire time he has been one of the best 800 runners in the US. That already is not short.
