Male collegiate athletes slower than 4:07.64 should quit

only you should quit. and what does the discus have to do with it ?

What’s with all the newbs in this thread? We need a LetsRun meme review?

But no they shouldn’t quit. Just take the Lia Thomas route.

If you can’t beat ‘em, join em.

I don’t think many male collegians only slightly slower than Faith Kipyegon are likely to find success in the discus at the collegiate level. Their odds are probably about on par with male discus throwers who can’t throw farther than Valerie Allman succeeding in the mile.

"Male collegiate athletes" includes people in a whole lot of sports other than track. You're saying that an NFL-bound QB should just walk away from the sport if he isn't also a fast 1500m runner?

If you give the 4:15 guys unlimited supply of PEDs and special shoes, they’d be sub 4.

You should quit and let everyone else enjoy the sport at their level.

Make sure you downvote this to death. Thank you.

this is the best most logical post in the entire board

I thought it was a tradition around here to deliberately misspell that word because someone did it long ago, and people went with it to be funny. It's ALMOST ALWAYS spelled wrong at letsrun

I totally agree. It just sucks that Mehdi Yanouri (4:12.07) and Eli Bennett (4:10.02) will have to quit after such promising seasons in which they made the NCAA finals in their respective events. Sadly, their coaches should have known the risks involved before signing them up to race the mile in the first place.

Training 24/7 alone won't help if you don't have the talent.

Well the question is how far can you throw?

I think you should quit

We have a Letsrun rookie on the thread!

I guess we found the kid who just ran 4:07.63 last night
