so i was talking with a friend today and tom mcardle came up. does anyone know his 1500 or mile pr? i am guessing it is extremely slow compared to his 5k/10k times. also, he probably hardly ever raced it so it is not a good indicator of what he could have done over the distance. anyone? while i loved mcardle's log as much as the next guy, this is not a comeback or what is he up to now thread. i am simply wondering what his 15/mile pr is. i have a lot riding on this. hopefully it will be slow. thanks.

re: speed wins

Just off the top of my head, I recall he ran in the mid 3:50's a few times. Not saying that's his PR, but I know he ran at least that fast.

re: Mr Burns

In indoors he ran 4:15.94 for 5th at the Dartmouth Relays as his first race in 2001 and 4:13.88 to win as his first race in 2002 (beating the Lube in the process).

Outdoors, in 2001 at New Englands he ran 3:55.97 in the trials and 3:54.29 for 3rd in the final. I'm almost positive these were the only mile/15 races he ran in college.

thanks. those are the times i found. i bet that his pr was no faster than 348 and i really thought that it was in the 350s. my friend, who shall go nameless, actually knows tom and insisted that his pr was close to 4 mins for the mile. while that would make sense given his 5k time i really didn't think it was the case. i guess there is still time to prove me wrong. ill give you till the end of the weekend. sound fair? i don't think you are going to be able to scheme your way out of this one.

re: speed wins

Where did he get the idea that mcardle ran around 4 for the mile? That's like holding hands at the finish line at Heps XC.

I just couldn't picture him doing either.

Absolutely. We performed it as well. We were hot with things like that.

I hear he ran so fast because his diet was 70% fruit

re: Colin.

He ran so fast b/c he was related to Harry Potter.

I bet harry could fix him.
