Alan Webb about to Go Live Now

This is great!!

This is awesome. You just don't get these types of interviews too often.

The story about him and the U.S. high schooler whose mother lives in Sweden is very cool...

Hoovis

Do you think he brings chicks back to the hotel?

"My goal is to win, and I don't see why I shouldn't at least be close."

you guys got any questions? we're about to wrap it up

What does his average week of training look like?

sorry i'm at work and can't listen so if you've already asked him something like this i apologize...

i'd like to know if and how he changed his training up...last year his 10k time was pretty good for a miler, and now he seems to have MUCH more speed as evidenced by his poor 2 mile (which i'm sure was a combination of just an off day and more focus on speed then endurance). If he hasn't changed his training, where has new speed and amazing kick come from? It seems like he's finally ready for the tactical championship races.

I read an article in which Webb stated that a goal is to break the world record for the 1500 and the mile. Those are some lofty goals and I'm excited to hear that he holds them but...can you ask:

how realistic do you think they are? Once you get down to such fast times (his 3:48 for instance) it's gotta be an incredible jump to cut 5 seconds.

You guys asked all the right questions. Nice work!

The last questions was great, the whole interview was sweet.

Who was the girl he gave the flowers to at the last meet?

sure, I'll start typing out the last hour and ten minutes of conversation. I'll have it ready around 10:00pm.

I assume an audio archive will be posted soon. Can't wait to hear it tonight.

sorry didn't realize it was that long

back to the hair - on a serious note, i'm tired of people posting stupid hair comments. You may not realize it, but this is an extremely sensitive subject to the guys it happens to. most will laugh it off when people joke about it, but inside it really is hurtful.

I'm married to a guy who started losing his hair in his 20s, and he is damn sexy! Face it guys, most all of you will lose your hair eventually, the only question is when. So please drop the stupid comments!

Flagpole Willy is bald?!?

hair, i agree with you that for some people it's a huge issue. but for some it's not. just like for some short guys, it's a big deal, for others it isn't.

i think it's important to realize that didn't blindside him with the hair question. i asked him prior to the interview if it was cool to ask about. i wouldn't try to embarrass a guest who was nice enough to come on.

webb said "i'd rather they hear it from my mouth". clearly, he realizes a lot of people are curious about it. he had fun with it.
