Please stop going on about the glory days and how standards are declining. We are not the problem, we are the runners doing our best, if you think you are helping anyone by saying how someone coming 30th in races in the 70's would win every race now your not.
If anything your negativity will or has caused a number of runners to quit or not to bother. So even though you like to go on about how back in the day you were amazing, it is not having any positive effect on anything but your ego. Maybe the runners like me or the ones that quit who do not appreciate the comments are not the winners that your looking for, but all winners need people pushing them to get the quick times
Hmmm. I looked around a bit and saw no condemnation of modern runners here. You having a bad day?

1) name "an old runner" who says standards are declining?
2) name "an old runner" who says someone coming in 30th in a 70s race would win every ran now?

Awwwwww, what's the matter? Did you get grounded for the weekend and come here to pout, or are you just a whiny little pussy all the time?

Stop being a pu$$y, whinning like this is the reason that standards are declining.
That whole Boston Marathon thread a while back, that was a prequel to the Patty thread (I think?), was pretty much the gist of the first 2 posts.
Plus some other threads/posts along the way.
'Kids nowadays are weaker/less focused/lazier' yada yada
The pussification of America continues in all endeavors.
I must confess that I am concerned that the young runner is ruining the sport. However, of greater concern is the distraction of having their younger girlfriends stare longingly at my crotch. Or is it their momma? Hard to tell.

Agreed. With runners like the430mile, the US young and upcomers are infinite!
Train more and run faster and we'll do what you ask. Sorry if the truth hurts.
should say the430miler, not to be confused with some other stud!
