I can't find results either. How can a race so big have no live results?

Wow, Ben F looks great.
Two-time Falmouth RR winner?
Why are his track pr's so mediocre? This guy looks amazing
There was a time when guys were recognized as more road racers or cross country racers, track credentials weren't as good.
I remember Erik De Beck of Belgium (?) winning the world cross, beating top track and marathon guys. They called him a cross-country specialist.
Pekka Paivarinta of Finland.
In the 80's it seems there were a bunch of road racers who couldn't really make it on the track.
They would do the road circuit and pick up decent money.

I'd have to go back to replay but sounded like he was saying that Kelati's performance would be all over the 'running sites' such as LetsRun....
Keira D'Amato also under CR with 23:48!
Results if you scroll down on this link!
Chelenga is in his 30s, in the Army, and has a wife and family. He BEATS Drew Hunter, who is in his 20s, no job, no wife and family.
Drew Hunter needs more discipline in his life.
Nice performances by the PAC-12 power couple John Dressel and Poppy Tank (4th and 8th, respectively).
So am I but I would have been 2 minutes behind them. There were dozens of try hard 25 year old single guys in the race who got beaten by a woman today.. Everyone does not have the same talent level.
Ben F training on Strava looks mediocre at best. I'm perplexed.

If you looked closer you would see the hard efforts within continuous runs or single Strava posts. He doesn’t label it like “10 x 3:00 with 90 sec off”. Also high volume. He is a former NCAA 10000m champ.
That’s how you know he has a good coach and isn’t a workout hero

Almost every elite coach says that they want their athletes doing mostly B grade workouts and only going to the wall very occasionally

If you looked closer to how other elites train, you wouldn’t call 80 mpw high volume

Good point- although Idk what his mileage was earlier in the year. I was thinking more of Fox’s other athletes (some are marathoners though), or the Syracuse team years ago, which had higher mileage (at easier paces) than many other D1 XC teams.
No offense was intended with “look closer”- I meant that you need to click and drill down to see the details of a workout, whereas some runners have the splits easily visible or in the description . Or put the wu or cd in a different activity etc.
