He ran a 2:59 mile down hill with an 85 pound backpack!
Do you mean "who is the fastest runner you've ever talked to"? The fastest runner I've ever talked to is a person, not an object.
Could your question be any more vague?
If you mean pure speed, I had a 10.44/20.9 teammate.
Also had a 29:09 10k guy, as well as a 4:01 miler on my team.
Coach was a 2:15 marathoner.
Donn Cabral was my XC camp counselor in 2010
Distance wise i've meet Meb & been passed by him on a few runs lol. Talked to Steve Scott at Movin shoes. Then two 800m studs.. Charles Jock who went to my high school & holds 800/400 records. Jose Luiz Barbosa is the fastest guy I've met plus he's my coach so I'm lucky!
Ron Clarke. Nice guy.
Ben Johnson. I said hi to him when I was in high school and he said : h h h h h h sterios." Or something like that.
I talked to Carl Lewis for about a minute or two. But not five minutes.
Sat at a table with Frank Shorter for dinner and talked at least five minutes.
Abdi Bile is the fastest 1500m runner that I have talked to for five minutes.
Shared a word with Morceli.

I met German Fernandez, and on the same day my buddy met David Torrance, and none of knew who he was even though he was faster than German.
1:43.84, 3:46.91 miler, conversation for at least 10 minutes or so before a road race
Had many lengthy conversations with a 1:44.9 880/3:51 miler (he did this in the '60s, no less!)
I've had numerous friends and acquaintances who were awesome runners, but not quite as fast as those two.

My daughter and Alan webbs daughter played together for a few hours last month. I tried to treat him normal other than asking him if he's still a professional athlete and he said "no, I used to be"
ten minutes with Billy Mills (and others, he's super gregarious)
seven minutes with Solinsky (awesome)
four minutes with Goucher (couple times, also Kara. Both a bit chilly, but she was injured)
four minutes with Centro Jr (cool dude)
A minute with Rowbury (nice)
30 seconds with Rupp (he was in HS and pretty non-verbal)
Worked out with Jurek
five-ten minutes with Amy Hastings (super nice)

high-fived Will Leer
five+ with Amy-Eloise Neale
A few minutes with Jerry Schumacher

Ben Johnson.
I've ran by Garret Heath once. Told Hassan Mead "good job" in high school.
I did an easy 30 or 35 minutes with Rupp (not one-on-one, but we chatted during and after for a good bit. This was pre-London games).
I don't know his exact pr's but I met Dick Buerkle a few years ago.
Des Linden: "The entire sport" has changed since she first started running Boston.
Ryan Eiler, 3rd American man at Boston, almost out of nowhere
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
Matt Choi was drinking beer halfway through the Boston Marathon
