Top 5 runners you would want to "have a few beers with".

Will Leer, Evan Jager, Nick Willis, Chris Derrick, Mo Farah honorable mention Kyle Merber

1st Ryan Hall, he'd probably wear his sunglasses at night, inside, at hooters over some wings. We'd talk about scriptures and Big Bear

2nd Killian Journet, ideally in Spain over some good Spanish beer and tapas

3rd someone from Kenya, probably be a good drinking buddy if they're not too religious, we don't have to talk about running, maybe animal husbandry and cooking

4th Alexi pappas, maybe she'd like me

5th, usain bolt or Galen Rupp, how about both at once. How awkward would that be!?

Pre: Obvious choice. Would love to talk to him about running and life.

Chris Solinsky: His 26:59 is still my favorite race of all time.

Nick Symmonds: Party animal + he's opinionated and eccentric so that'd lead to some interesting conversations.

Will Leer: Seems very down to earth so it'd be cool to have some beers and talk with him.

Alexi Pappas: Simply because I have a total crush on her.

Honorable Mention: Ritz

All 3 of the Dibaba sisters.

Lisa Kohl (her new last name is dead to me, as is her hubby).

Roger Bannister.

I myself don"t drink, but my choices would be

Bezunesh Bekele

Meseret Defar

Worknesh Kidane

Shelly Ann Fraser Price

Lol... good spanish beer, lol.

I have already shared a beer with him, Forsberg, Canaday, Reiter, and the whole lot after The Rut 50K last fall. Man, those salomon guys party weird. Jornet was dressed in drag, some mario characters made appearances, more drag, and a banana.

1. Symmonds, hands down. No one better to grab a brew with.

2. Phoebe Wright

3. Pre

4. Maggie Vessey

5. Max King

Definitely Lagat. Bernie is da king.

I could have a beer with Rupp too. Would be fun to see him puke after a few sips.

Prefontaine

Walker

Dixon

Ovett

Symmonds

Top five:

Garrett Heath ( One of the few guys I feel is completely genuine and a cool guy)

Ben True ( same as above)

Dave Wottle

Suzy Favor Hamilton

Michael Stember

Bottom Five ( Nothing against them, just the people who can be a bit emotional from what I read and see in interviews. AKA have too much bitch in them)

Will leer

lauren fleshman

Andrew Wheating

chris solinsky

Anyone except Ryan and alex from flotrack

This is the list and I would want us all to be there at the same time.

I have the perfect place 1 mile from my house.

Genzebe Dibaba

Tirunesh Dibaba

Anna Dibaba

Ejegayehu Dibaba

Derartu Tulu

If the real Chris Chataway was anything like the character depicted in film, he'd be on my list if I had a time machine to take me to 1954. But if I had such a machine, I'd hit on the 70s Debbie Brill day after day after day...

Pre -Obvious

Suzy Favor Hamilton- Obvious

Mo Farah - Seems like a fun guy

Billy Mills - always interested in Native American culture

Sebastian Coe - would be interesting, and I'm sure he can really work a room

Assuming all alive here.

1. Alan Webb

2. Nick Symmonds

3. David Torrence

4. Alexi Pappas

5. Molly Huddle

Might be willing to swap Molly Huddle for Brenda Martinez
