let me put it to you like this....
not tv and no play make homer something something....
but really f*** man he kicked the shit out of some pretty damn good kids... and he is only 19yrs old give him a break...
lata
Homer J. Simpson
aka
Homer Jay! Simpson
dumb f*** (that goes for several of you),
he WON the race.
how do you know he couldn't have won if it went 1335?
mike smith beat the living shit out of his region in XC: adam sutton beat the living shit out of the big east: both back in the pack.
exactly the type of people hating on mulvaney that jerk off thinking about making an NCAA dI final.
tabarnak!
What I want to know is: WHY in God's name is Alan Webb running these Collegiate 5000s!??!!!!!?!?
He should be either
(1) Training in the Atlas Mountains with Hicham ElGuerrouj (John Mayock trained with him in Morroco in 2001)
(2) In Kenya, training with the Kenyans in High Altitude.
(3) In Australia, training at the AIS.
(4) In Goddamn Kunming China, training in High Altitude and perfect weather, right where I am sitting!
Something is wrong with this picture of Alan Webb, a professional runner making US$250k/year, running very non-professional races. What the f*** is going on in the head of Rascle or Rakso, or whatever his name is. Alan Webb deserves better.....he should be training for EUROPE.
I've got to get a few things off of my chest first:
-Webb is dedicatig his life to running. You are not.
-Webb will be great if he keeps workig hard. He's 19/20.
-He ran 3:53. That shows f***ing promise.
-Most of you don't know a thing about coaching, Do not understand periodization, stages, energy systems.
-Most of you can't break 15:00 in the 5K. Shut the Fuck Up.
-Do you except him to be in peak shape at every race?
Webb's 14:06 was most likely part of his base training due to his REAL track season starting in June. The splits that were reported on here appeared to me to have been gearing him towards even "moderate" splits in the first 2/3rds, with an emphasis on closing hard in the last mile. (Yeah, it's not rocket science.)
It's clear, he was getting his early season jitters out running with a conservative field to gain confidence. If he had a goal of running 13:40's don't you think that's what he would have set himself up to do. It was March and I bet his miles are still high. He will run faster in the 1500/mile than he ever has this summer.
It seems to me that the dumbest people always seem to make the loudest noise on this board.
