I'm roughly Goucher's age but never won FLockders, never won NCAAs and never made an Olympic team.
If he looks this bad running, I can't imagine what I look like. Thankfully no one is filming me.

He's just unfit. Middle age spread. So what? He looks happy. I wonder why?
does he do fun runs. what sort of times?
He never ran like Sebastian Coe.
A visit to the anti-aging clinic could shape him right up.
Yeah he looks good to me, it’s like a 1 second running clip I was expecting a shuffle and agonizing face

He looks like a talented middle aged man who gained some weight. He'd look older than his NCAA self but still vicious if he cared to train at least moderately obsessively.
Good hairline, filled out, pretty good.
I have less hair and weigh 40lbs more. I ran a hard 200 a few months ago and it was slower than my 5k pr pace.

Of course he is happy! He got a beautiful wife. A son. A successful life. And he doesn't have to waste away trying to run like 20 miles every single day!
What’s his tattoo say? Don’t kiss stranger’s wives.
There are four functions of sport:
1) As a competitive measure
2) As an educator/cultivator of the virtue courage (stated by Plato)
3) As a pastime or leisure
4) As a pathway to virtue
First through third is pretty straight forward. The fourth can in be interpreted a couple different ways but I like to think of it as a vehicle to the truth. Truth in the sense that the results of sports yield an intrinsic value that refracts through our everyday lives. It shows us a higher honor and the right things to do in given situations.
The very best example of number 4 I can think of is Kate Bucknam, Chris Bucknam's daughter, while she was at the University of Minnesota. She technically broke the rules but what she did was so touching that the rule enforcers looked the other way. In effect, Kate Bucknam made the world bend that day.
That's what #4 means. It differs from #2 because #2 is like a modern day sport-sponsored scholastic system (HS state, NCAAs, etc.).
I wish to add that when you get older and can no longer be competitive, you either shift to leisurely pastime or you get fat.
I am happy that Adam Goucher still runs. I used to have a cutout of his Vini, Vidi, Vici
Fila advertisement on a push pin board.
I didn't know Adam was Jewish. Wow, he must be the fastest Jewish distance runner of all time!
Gotta be honest, I’m think he looks good
Dude looks happy AF OP.
Average dude in his 40s is nowhere near that thin too
You think Adam qualify for the 2022 olympic trials if he trained hard enough.....i think so
What are you talking about? In my small city or the bigger city down the road, I haven't lost my age group in a race in 5+ years. But if I saw this dude in a race, I'd be thinking, "Crap, I hope he's not 50 yet." Pretty clean form, lots of power in his stride. I wouldn't want to leave it to a kick.

This was my response, too. The OP has to be AG, and hats off to him as he got me to click-through on his ad.
