my theory on this is they are great at longer distances becuase they are training for those distances, like the top guys at those distances train!
Did Vigil mention recently 100mpw in HS? Great... for 10K and up! Perfect.
High milage + 1 tempo + 1 track session a week is NOT how top 800/1500m/5K train in winter. Im pretty sure Meb + Hall is doing this.... hence great times above these distances.

You're only about a third right. His posts are ALWAYS well thought out, and he NEVER does stupid message board shit. That would be you. Oh, and ... potential? It's not "potential" if it's realized. Go crawl back in your hole.

Sounds like Steve Scott's training.

Sorry but 67.5/400m pace would yield a 59:20.21 half.
His 59:43 is an average of 67.93/400m.
missed the zatopek reference...

I think that Zat0pek is completely unreasoned and off-base with his Culpepper commentaries. They are so ignorant that I feel embarassed for Zat0pek. I could really care less about anything else he has to say. I would simply classify any other opinions he may have as vacuous at best.
