What type of runner are you Deanouk? In my 40's, I used to go for it in 5K road races. I never finish in the top ten. I raced to win in my forties and got blown out the back end. A few weeks before my 50th birthday, I decided to race in 4 to 7 place in 5K road races until 500m to go. I started getting 3rd place medals. I am an expert on racing for 3rd. Tell me your experiences, racing for 3rd Deanouk. I know what racing for 3rd looks like. Btw, you are wrong about Nikolay Kirov. No one goes all out on the backstretch on last lap of 800m race in order to attempt to achieve 3rd place. No doubt N. Kirov was racing to win. It took ever ounce of talent in Coe's body just to slip past for silver.
