Most of the new generation on letsrun are too young to know who Wallace Spearman is
-
Still 9th fastest 200m guy all time I think right? With 19.65 31.88 (indoor 300) and 45.22 type numbers I dont see him losing

What is Wallace Spearmon up to these days?

Wallace Spearman because long slow running makes you a long slow runner. Eliud's 8-9 minute miles are super useless for the 500 meter race. Spearman has muscle too, and we all know that muscle is ultimately responsible for one's potential speed. Eliud has none and looks anorexic.

I agree that eliud looks thin and usually weak and tired, but I'm not so sure that I would say hes too thin.
The one person that looks way too skinny to me, at least to a point where its hindering their running, is nico yong. -

Sham please tell me you’re not trying to trash talk Kipchoge. -
Wallace Spearman wins that race by a mile.
A literal mile. Kipchoge got lost, took a wrong turn, somehow got a mile away by the time Wallace was done.
But really, Spearman wins that easy. Kipchoge isn't ripping anything much under a 50 second 400, even in his prime sub 13 5k shape that would have been tough. -

I thought it was decent trolling in the style of a the430miler post.
The name is Spearmon, as one poster got right, and he would have definitely won in the 500.
