Nick Willis is going for history tonight. Will he set the all-time record of most seasons with a sub-4 minute mile at 19?

Good content ?

Steve Scott managed 15–might be the American Record. Lagat could surely have managed 20+ if it were his priority, I’d think.

Any other distance events at this meet?

Would be extra special with a sub 4 I think because it wasn`t long time since he ran that 2:13 marathon . .......very different targets we know.

What are you talking about? Nick Willis? He didn't run 2:13.

According to the result list he did. He ran as a pacemaker but finished 2:13 .Could have been

another runner with the same name but different comments told it really was "the Nick Willis" pacemaking and finish.

"The Ghost of Steve Scott!"

He was a pacemaker, but the 2:13 final time was an error.

I’m rooting hard for Nick. He’s had an incredible career. He is one of a very small group of runners that keeps me believing in the sport.

Do you believe everything you are told or read without any scepticism?

Wasn't Nick Willis pacing women? How does he do that AND run 2:13?

How come it was an error? I hadn`t been surprised if it was correct because he does what`s

necessary in training for such a time.

He is one of a group top elite runners that already have proven you can run really fast on just low mileage at all distances.

He dropped out and he triggered the timing equipment when he went to the finish line.

In that marathon it was told he paced a second group in the men`s race. Out from what I know about his training I had no reason to question a 2:13 from him.

Well then you don't know athletes or training.

I let you believe that. ;) Your welcome! ))

Nick would be the first guy to tell you he’d 1) never run a Marathon and 2) never run 2:13

He changed my career when I met him at Big Peach. I was a low-14 min guy in college and he said he never did a run in which his form would be compromised and he prioritized that over everything else. So, if at 6.4 miles he started falling apart or not having immaculate form, he would stop the run.

Reminds me a lot of Bernard Lagat. Low mileage tons of speed great focus on mechanics and form.

Hmm, everything I read indicated it was the second group of women. Good thing the thread is still there to confirm.

And Bernard Lagat ran 2:12:10 at age 44........

Probably half the people here do NOT care about running. They would rather post about their political agendas or other nonsense.
