Runner2014, webb sucked. period. A less-than-average high schooler could run 1:59. Go run the slow heat and be quiet.

Okay, well that is a ridiculous claim. Even among actual high-school runners, less-than-average would definitely not be faster than 2:15.
I have no idea why "A" became "RA" in that quotation.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but Webb looked terrible in this race. 28, 57, 1:26 and he looked tense / tight. I don't care what kind of training he's been doing. He should have been GONE the last 150, and that guy should not have even had a chance to go by him.
I feel bad for him, but I wish him the best and hope to see him runnning 28's for a 1500 this May/June. I'm sorry to say this, but just look at all the 3:55s today by college guys. Can Webb even go 3:55 right now ... even if he would have went 1:53 today? Can he even break 4 right now? I'd think a guy like Webb should be able to do that after a month of being on the saddle.
C'mon Webb! Focus!
well, it could be that his genes manifested best for fast running at a younger age, and that he has a lot of talent but only a very small window of time to use that talent.
The fact he is becoming more top heavy suggests that his final makeup will be less suited for fast distance running and is probably more suited for doing power sports or sprinting.
Sadly, I think we've seen the best of Webb. But, if history recalls, some people were saying he should move up to the marathon, based on how well he ran cross country under the distance program at U michigan..He looked great when he was lean like that.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. He's way too big now in the upper body to run any serious middle distance times - especially the 1500. Kind of sad to see - like a faded world champ heavyweight coming back to fight against youngsters that he would have pummeled in his prime, but struggles to keep up with now.
maybe he should switch back to a high mileage training program. what is his mileage like right now?
he\s too top heavy. im not sure how much training can reduce that.
That definitely looks like he took a dive.
3.46 in a mile? you kidding me! the WR is 3.48!
Alan Web needs training partners to push him to the limit so that he can win easy.

If a less than average high school runner can run 1:59, what can an average high school runner throw down? What time would a 4X800 team composed entirely of average high school runners run? If 1:59 is worse than average, then perhaps you think that 1:55 is average. So then a 4X800 of average runners will run 7:40. Amazing how rarely any given team manages to get 4 average runners on the same relay team.
wtf even girls can run 1:59
this dude needs to just give it up.............

I told Webb he shouldn't have ate that fifth chalupa for lunch.
