........PSAC.......

ahahaha soooo true...

come at me fool

I heard the Edinboro indoor track is going to be 240m.

don't they just modify the time needed to qualify on a different length track for indoor?

no, an indoor track can't be over 300m and a time ran on a 400m track will not be converted or considered at all for NCAA Q-times.

Shizzy SHUT the F''' Up you do you know Shit. So go Do what you have been for the past 3 months and that is sit on your computer and wish you could be Fast!

Shizzy SHUT the F''' Up you do not know Shit. So go Do what you have been doing for the past 3 months and that is sit your fat ass on your computer and wish you could be Fast! but, of course your not because you SUCK!

Actually because you are too worried about busting on Shizzy you forgot to actually do your homework, leave the kid alone! You arent any cooler now that you said that and by the way Shizzy is right he probably knows more about this sport than anyone on this forum...

No seriously f*** face, why don't you look that up and see that you're the f***ing moron here. And since when did you know my training schedule?

Seems to me sir that you are the one who does not know SHIT!

Now Shizzy I was hoping that you didnt say something like that...Now I look stupid for defending you because you just gave them more reason to talk shit on here. Silly boy!

Strauman ran 1:51.09 at Bucknell today to set a fieldhouse record.

yeah i dont think strauman has run a 4:10 mile in his life. let alone by himself. i think probably about 4:20 would be his top

and besides, strauman does distance runs on tuesdays, not intervals.

race the first 400?? he doesnt do that already?? well anyway... im pretty sure he knows what he is doing.

If you saw his performance last year at outdoor nationals, (and all previous outdoor nationals) he would have placed higher if he was not in dead last at the 400 meter mark. He looked to even be out of all-american contention with 200 to go, but his nasty kick brought it in at the wire. All I am saying is if he came through the 400 meter mark just behind the leaders I don't think they could have hung with him in a final kick. I have not checked the Bucknell Results, or heard anything about that race, but it sounds like he is on the right track to put himself into national championship contention. I hope he does it.

I apologize, I did not mean to type "out of all-american contention" obviously he already was an all-american because he was in the finals. The point I am trying to get at is that at no point in time in the nationals race was he in contention to win it, and with his ability level he should known as a favorite to win it.

maybe he runs his own race? and he has his own plan going into it? theres a reason why he was in 8th through 400m in indoors last year and finished 2nd. because he doesnt kill himself the first 300, 400 meters in.i say if it got him to 2nd indoors and 4th outdoors, he should do what plan works for him.as far as 200m left. he should be farther up. he needs to make his move with 300m left instead of waiting until 200m left. THAT is a sound arguement. but whats the point in going out in :51 or :52 400ms and coming back in :57 or :58. i think he would rather go :54 then :54

its the same reason you dont see the milers going out in 1:55 and coming back in 2:13 to run a 4:08 mile. more like 2:04 and 2:04

Don't get me wrong, I am not attacking him. He is an excellent runner, significantly faster than I will ever be in the 800. I posted that mostly because I heard a very highly respected and accomplished coach in the PSAC say the same thing to one of his runners at the PSAC outdoor. He simply stated that if he plans on winning an OUTDOOR national title he will have to learn to go out faster to be in position to make a move to win, he said that he does not need to go out in the lead, but be "in contact" with the lead pack at 400. After I overheard this conversation I started to pay more attention and I agree now.

To clarify, this coach was talking to his runner about what Strauman needs to do to win nationals.
