Interesting comments from former world xc champ Treacy here, on a day when the Euros got their men's xc champs overrun with 3 east africans running for adopted nations taking the medals. He thinks they need to follow the american lead and go back to the high mileage approach of the 70s and 80s runners. Strange, but think he's unfair to a lot of current Euro athletes, who have to run against a lot of 2:03-2:05 athletes, which he didn't.
