has it taken this long? do i really have to be the first one to say it?

apparently now it's EASY for solinsky to run 13:30. so easy in fact that he can do it back to back and not even look tired at the end of the race. solinsky used to collapse at the end of races, be all out. now he runs 26:59 in a 10K and you guys are like, hmm, must be just better focus and smart training.

get your heads out of your arses. something is up in oregon, and it ain't clean. running 2659 by closing in 156 is something haile gebrsellassie does. not chris solinsky.

what if tegenkamp runs 1248 next? must just be the training, right?

what if webb comes out and runs 3:29 for 1500. must just be better air in oregon, right?

despite what youve been lead to believe, distance running is not as complex training-wise as people claim. its not some training revolution that's making this happen.


these guys are suspicious as all get-out, guys. solinsky looked like superman out there, and you guys aren't even teh slightest bit skeptical. this is why skeptics are so essential to the world at large. people WANT to believe in teh unbelievable.

this performance has all the hallmarks of cheating:

1) inexplicable massive improvement in one race? check.

2) incredibly fast finish with no hint of slowing down or tying up? check.

3) total lack of fatigue evident in post-race celebration? check.

4) non-oly non-wc year with no major championships, and thus less drug testing? check.
