So letsrun can't even agree on Mo Farah's height or weight.
5-5 118 gives him a bmi of 19.6. Skinnier than Chris Solinsky, but bigger than Ritz.
Ritz is really smaller than that??? No wonder he gets injured so much. How is this not obvious to everyone that has ever coached him?

What about guys with 2 gold medals who can close a 5k in 51? Athletes?
Funniest part of this thread is the list that has Geb posting 123 lbs on the scales. He is likely 115 - 118 lbs, ask anyone who's seen him in person. And not a small portion of that weight is his head.
How tall is Farah? Is he really 5'9"? If so then 118 is 7 or 8 pounds too light. Bernard lagat is 5'8" and 130-132 pounds.

If that's all they can do, then no. At least not good athletes.
This is exactly what I have been trying to tell you...
"The long run puts the tiger in the tank," does not mean that you will have a massive upper body.
Craig Virgin once said to me, "I ran my butt off." That is what he literally meant!
Americans are not willing to be ectomorphs, even the ectomorphs "want to get big." Therefore we will never win in distances above 1500 meters.
Chris Solinsky would have been better off competing at the mile because he was 6'1" 165" Perhaps at that weight and constant TRUE speed development he could have made it to the Olympics. I have said that on other threads.
Drew Hunter, Galen Rupp, Matt Centrowitz Jr., are very skinny kids. But are they as skinny as Mo Farah and the rest InWyo mentioned? Probably not.

Rupp is not a kid. He will be 30 in just a week.

I agree, that is disgusting. What happened to our American values? A real American man is supposed to have broad shoulders, a wide back and a massive chest. Mo Farah has none of these attributes.
How his wife hasn't left him yet is beyond me.
You talking about Froome?
