If you could trade lives with a professional distance runner of your choosing, would you?

El G was the boss, it would be fun to see what it feels like to run that fast, all moral/ethical arguments aside.

You sound very average for a letsrun.com poster.

Haha, 3x a week. She's probably with 5 other guys while you're off 'publicizing' more research.

I would trade lives with Emma Coburn.

No, I don't like eating Subway and drinking Slurpees. Plus, I'm too undedicated.

No exactly a roll call of champions leave 2 on and find some true elites for us to aspire to

I find it amusing that you call anyone a professional loser/clown when, after all you claim to have accomplished, you are still so insecure in yourself that you need to post said accomplishments on a message board for a bunch of strangers looking for admiration. Go back to posting selfies on your Facebook clown.

The answer to this question obviously depends on how much a person has going for them in life. I think 60% of the posters here would take the deal. My vote - Ritz

He's fast and has the hot wife, family, good salary..etc...

No and I wouldn't trade lives with you as you are clearly an idiot.

3x a week? hahahahahahahahahaha sucks to suck(or not in your case)

Not Ritz or anyone that is a laboratory rat for Alberto. I would be fearful of growing a third eye in my thyroid or something weird from the TUE cocktails.

First off, congrats on the "six-figure salary", doctoral degree and hot wife. But it sounded like you were kind of virtually showing off how great your life is. There are people with a lot more money, more prestigious jobs, and better family life. And many that are worse off than you, obviously.

But anyways...probably a miler. They don't run as many miles like the marathoners; I can't imagine doing all those miles, that quality work, AND cross training. Milers gotta do a lot, but they do like 60mpw on average, right? Maybe Nate Brannen (800 runner, I know), or that Australian miler that won a few medals.

A black elite sprinter, sure. Get lots of tail, big you-know-what, strong...Any distance runner, no way.

Actually, Usain Bolt might have a pretty fantastic life on that island. Me thinks he might be a lord.

Suzy Hamilton so I could feel what it's like to be a $lut.

Webb so I could get his career back on track.

Ryan Hall has all this and an extra 0 on his salary.
