I really think that if more runners took the time to invest in field events like throwing you would become great fans. a lot of the same concepts in sprint and jump mechanics can be found in all of the throws and the development system of throwers is very similar in volume and loading as a distance runner over the course of their career. It offers you an opportunity to look at the same problems you're facing from a different perspective and can be quite entertaining if you learn a little about the details of an event or the drama behind the athletes.
