from an article about Ryan Hall:
Both have signed with Asics, with Ryan receiving "six-figures" according to his father. Ryan has a $5,000 incentive to be paid if he can run a 13 minute, 20 second 5,000 meters. He will receive $50,000 more if he can run a sub-13:16.
Yeah, it must be a joke because any person off the street could run a sub-13:16 5000.
O man. I've never run before in my life. But since i saw this post i decided to run a 5k because as you say, anyone can break 13:16. I ran a 13:16.01 I didn't break 13:16 like you said anybody could do.
