Drew Hunter next Pre

but but he doesn't run the 10k wrote:

But guess who this was:

ements and titles

1500m: 3:34.12

Mile: 3:53.15

5000m: 13:16.31

10,000m: 27:56.11

Are you suggesting Drew will be the next Garrett Heath? I like the Will Leer comparison better.

Are we absolutely sure he's not the previous Pre?

Adidas adios, I think a model from maybe last year or the year before, my teammate has a pair

Lol who cares about this chump American when there's tons of Kenyans that run faster.

Lol. There are only 10 doped Kenyans that were faster than Hunter this year in Hunter's event - the 1500.

There were no Kenyans as young as Hunter faster than him.

Hunter will likely get 3:30 flat in the next couple of years. Won't be any Kenyans going faster than that.

Haha. Only whites like Hunter and Ingebrigtsens dope. Kenyan greatness is built on hard work. Period.

Incredible how fast Garrett Heath has ran at 1500m with his form. Reminds me of Alberto Salazar. With that form I bet he'll make a excellent marathon runner.

Justus Soget and George Manangoi are both faster and younger.

You forgot one Kenyan year=1.25 actual years

My god...Garrett Heath’s form looks preposterous up against someone like Jager. He looks like a power walking soccer mom finishing up the last mile of her 2:00 half marathon.

I have a problem with this logic. The legacy of Steve Prefontaine is confusing. Why? First the dispute about what he drank and how little. The toxicology report according to news sources shows that Prefontaine was actually drivibg drunk. Therefore, my issue with comparisons to Pre is that Pre was less straight -laced than some of these other runners being compared to Pre. Why Pre? Why always Pre? And, truthfully, in his only olympic games, Pre did not place. Ryan Hall Steve Scott Galen Rupp Alan Webb Frank Shorter Bill Rodgers These are better comparison points. If Steve Prefontaine had not been from Oregon where Phil Knight used him as a vehicle for shoe sales for his Oregon -based country, I doubt we would be comparing anyone to him at this point. And, maybe we shouldn't.

Comparing this nobody to Pre..... why are you so dumb?

The toxicology report shows that Stoppit Smith was typing drunk.

Please laugh, I mean groan, it off, SS. Eye make typos more than you do.

Centro's PR at 21 was 3:36.91. He first broke 3:32 age 22.

Drew Hunter isn't a big enough douchebag to be Pre.

first time I've looked at his PRs wrote:

5000m: 13:21.87[1]

10,000m: 27:43.6

Seriously? This is the guy who gets hyped as the greatest American runner ever? Dude was no better than Adam Goucher.

Exactly. It's posts like this that remind us how truly average Pre really was. The only reason he's so lionized is the Nike marketing machine that benefits from creating a legendary aura around him. And the brilliance of it is that Nike doesn't need to pay a dead guy.

And that he held every American track record from 2k-10k. So that makes every American distance runner prior to 1975 below average?

Slightly awkward wording but I'm still calling this POD.

If you go for a run in Boulder and no one films you from a car and posts it on Instagram can you still count the miles in your log?

Pretty sad that Webb never gets the credit he deserves, those times easily make him one of the greatest American runners ever. On a forum that hypes times so much and bashes tactical races even more you have to wonder why Webb gets so much hate. Can never seem to please this crowd.

Webb gets tons of credit, while he was really only outstanding at the 15/mile, but this guy gets none - guess who?:

1500 Metres 3:34.25

One Mile 3:56.38

3000 Metres 7:34.98

Two Miles 8:07.07

5000 Metres 12:58.56

10,000 Metres 27:28.22

Fernandez gets nothing but respect from me.

Also want to wanted to ask how old Pre was when he ran all of his PR's.

Wow, his form looks so much better.

What did he do to improve his form? How’d he get so smoothe so quickly? His form was trash a few months ago.
