What on earth is the point of running these races if you aren't going to try and run fast? Going for the win is pointless at these races- why not try to run as fast as you possibly can? It's like were seeing fewer and fewer sub 3:30 1500 races, sub 13:00 5000 races and sub 27:00 10k races these days. I can't believe it, track and field is getting so boring without these fast races.
