Zat0pek is right, and Hall Proves It!

Wow, I had no idea anybody actually paid attention to anything I posted, let alone remembered it!

Don't get cocky.

I remembered it becasue it was well reasoned and it made sense.

Nah. No chance. I have a wife and two daughters who constantly remind me how wrong I am about everything.

Oh my god, is anybody falling for this blatant act of masturbation??

If the man has been right all along on give him his respect. What is with the jealousy, the need to tear people down, on this site? No wonder running does not get recognized. Nobody allows anyone to promote anything good anymore.

I thought the title refered to Ryan Hall's 52 x 400m in 67.5 sec workout in the rain in Houston...;)

Zat0Pek, more than anyone else on this board, has been correct in saying the problem with American distance running (among many) is we encourage sucessful runners to compete at the shortest distance possible.

Flocast + Zatopek = Same person

(look at how Flocast spelled Zatopek's name exactly......using the number 0 instead of the capital letter O in the name. Only Zatopek would give a s**t about that!)

Nice try assclown. Now go clean the spuge off of yourself!

Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not true.

I've posted under this same handle here, on T&FN and Dyestat for years. The "0" instead of "o" is because a poster had already registered the "o" spelling on another board when I went to register. I was as surprised as anyone to see the original post, which is why I responded as I did.

But believe what you want. This is letsrun and certainly plenty of people do exactly what you're describing.

Um...how bout no? Two years ago he was EXTREMELY happy with how his 5k running was going...maybe you've forgotten already that 2005 track season was the year he prd in the 5k like 3 times, won ncaa's, then took 3rd at us nats in 1316.... Frustrated? Please....that was the greatest year of his life in racing til now.

Last year he was frustrated maybe...2 years ago though? The stars aligned for Hall in his last collegiate season on the track.

Come on mrr82, it's all because of all the high-altitude training Hall did in Lincoln, Nebraska, that oxygen-starved training paradise you feel so strongly about.

You couldn't be more wrong.

I can tell you I've never posted using the name zat0pek.

He has been consistent with this believe, along with his comments about Alan Culpepper. I'll leave those comments for another thread.

But what about the sustance of my comments? Do you believe teh idea that anyone kid that shows any talent at anything over 400 meters is automatically penciled in as a miler until proven otherwise? And, are we starting to see a change in this thinking in recent years given the number of younger runners willing to move up?

Did you watch the interview or are you expressing your opinion?

Zat0pek's not above doing stupid message board shit and then proclaiming he does not remember but he's not a shameless self-promoting gas bag. Generally, his posts are well thought out. He has potential.

mrr82, on the other hand . . . probably the biggest tool in the history of message boards!

No that's ttc.

ttc is actually mrr82's son, just so you know.

Seems like the opposite is the case. No one will ever shut up about runners "moving up", and htere seems to be no shortage of runners making that attempt.
