The warden would not let him go to any races, off prison grounds. It was reported that he went out to the prison track, with no warmup and ran a 3:51 mile off pure hate. Then pitched his watch. This guy almost broke John Walker's world record on a dirt track. Why is there no talk about this legend? Is it because he killed someone, he is not respected? He was clearly better then Pre.

Bro, you mean the actor? Because, you do realize, this was a work of fiction. It did not happen in real life. Perhaps, you might better understand if I called this "fake news"?

There was a chap in prison - Poindexter? - who around 1960 was running impressive mile times.
They re-measured the track and it turned out to be only 295 meters around.

Nope . . . the 1600 meter mile was invented after Lickety Split smoked the MILE WR.

Next you are going to tell us that Alexander Hamilton wasn't a Hispanic immigrant.
His name was something Gill? John Gill?
A few weeks out of prison he ran a road 5k in like 17:40 and that was the end of it.
You mean John Gault?
Who is John Gault?
Pretty sure this thread has been done more than once before. I may need a new message board to troll.
I'm quite glad this thread was created. This is a fantastic work of fiction that Once A Runner wished it could be.
I hated that silly white cuckold movie.

Jericho was my hero. Had a teammate we called Jericho who would always try to race the workouts and underperform the races.
