The difference between Kenny B and the US top middle distance runners is he runs 12:50ish 5Ks numerous times per year + 7:30ish or better 3Ks, as well as maintains his 10K win streak. He always puts it out there !!
The top Americans finally break 13:00 and we won't see them again until who knows when - Outside of Solinsky, there is no one else entered in the 3K or 5K this weekend ? Don't tell me, they are all too tired from the handful of races run this summer. Wonder why the sport is losing its lustre, and wonder why Americans lack earning power!
Eg; Ritz stated he felt like he could compete with KB on the day, but can he every time out and as consistently as KB - Not likely as top US guys are not willing to go through the pain week after week! Careful not to over extend yourself boys, go home and rest up with your warm milk and cookies...
