Seriously, I don't get it. People consider distances like 100, 200, 400, 800 running. I saw bolt sweating like a hard working man after sprinting 20 seconds, I am like what the 'blood clat'?!? Real running is from 3000 and up.Ok we might squeeze in 1500 and 1 mile there to be fair.

however distance running is where the gut,mind and training play its role.

i would be sweating to if i just ran 200 meters in 19.19 (personally it would be too hard for me to do).

if you can do it, i would strongly advise you to quit your day job, besides making many millions, the job has very good perks you get to travel the world, you will have attractive female co-workers who are in good shape.

No thanks! I would pass on the muscular manly women. But the hype behind this sprinters is beyond me. It overshadow where the real running sport is.

Thank goodness...now you girly men have someone else to rag about instead of Michael Phelps...and at least he is in the same general sport as you are. Just deal with the fact that women do not like scrawny OCD men.....they like big dudes who can get it done. In all ways....

Sprinters get it done in seconds, marathoners take HOURS.

Get done what ? Run 10 miles 20 miles 30 miles ? push the limits ??

Speaking of females, females do like who they like, one who take care of business. Also they should not be the reason why sportsman exhale in what they do.

Sounds like a typical letsrun running geek

These threads are what marginalize Lets Run Talk.

Idiotic.

What the US needs is to eliminate Sprinting from Track and Field and for people who post these kinds of threads (and the one about Dan Browne being the best we can do) run for the US team.

Get over yourselves.

No need to disparage the hard work of athletes who have talents in different aspects of the sport. It proves you to be miopic and closed minded ... and I am going to guess you are likely a slow ass Distance Runner ...

So you figure that this guy is a typical letsrun running geek because he posts something and every other letsrun running geek disagrees with him? I'm not sure you know what "typical" means.

"Running" is like golf. That's why everybody does it. It doesn't matter if you are good or not, it's the participation that's great.

Very few can sprint, esp. 19.19. That is why poker, X-games, bowling, etc. get more air time than track and field. People can't empathize with a 10 sec. hundred or a 28 foot long jump or a 70 foot put in the shot. They have no frame of reference.

I can go "run" and then go do road races or "fun runs".

Your thread is stupid!

You never build yourself up by tearing down others.
