look at paula radcliffe... jack daniels himself has said that experts by vision alone have absolutely no success at predicting a runner's efficiency

As the others have said, Ryan's movement through space is nothing short of art. I recall seeing him running up "poopout" at the Mt. SAC course in high school, and he already looked better than any of the guys I saw at the collegiate race.

A superb talent, to be sure, but he deserves high praise for nurting his gift.

Makes me proud to be living in Big Bear.

In no way was I implying that he's fast because he has exemplary form. I was simply stating it's a real pleasure seeing the guy move through space. As somebody who has worked very hard on improving their posture, I can appreciate the way he moves.

The most stunning performance I can remember since the summer of the Chinese women runners (not that that implies in any way that I think Ryan is on the juice (er rather, mushrooms), like they were).

What are you implying then, that they weren't on the juice(er rather, mushrooms), like he is.
