Dathan Ritzenhein runs 4:38 mile!

There is an interview on runnerspace with Ritz and his daughter a day or two after NXN. He said he tweaked his hamstring running around the course and was limping after the race.

that's pretty impressive in On shoes. isn't that. like, 4:15 in any other brand?

I seem to remember Webb throwing down some 4:16 1500s when he was still running professionally.

did he dope for this one too?

Either these six people didn't get it or have no sense of humor.

Is it possible he was just running with his son for 2/3 of the race and kicked at the end while his son faded some?

The category Dathans son ran in was the 14 and under age group, not his actual age

It was an easy run for him. Last summer Ritz ran 2:59 for 1200m pacing Nuguse in a workout. 😆 🤣 😂. Stop it people who cares he ran 4:38. He is 3 years removed from being a professional runner. Not surprising, plus be I'd a coach and probably does parts of runs with his athletes and is always running around timing his athletes in workouts

Bingo exactly. They hit 1200 in 3:45 together and Ritz turned on the jets with a 53 second close. 😆 🤣 😂

Give his son 3 years. My bet is by then he will be sub 4:10/9:00 for the 1600/3200m at sea level little slower at altitude obviously

Agree, 5:03 at 13 is very good. It would be the seventh grade class record at most schools across the country.

Why would you say around 4:50? 6 minutes is around 4:50, depending how you look at it. Post up your results.

Eff Ritz, he is supporting that bad old Niwot program. He is bad, terrible, no good. Fie on Niwot and all those who support them. Fie I say!

We need to see a Ritz / Hall / Webb Pump and Run.

And Nick Symmonds should get in on this for grins.

He did, because once a doper always a doper. Your post and this one will be deleted because Ritz is protected and apparently above reproach now.

Fickle LetsRun is part of the whitewash.
