Impressive 3:56.5 by Adam tonight at the Nike Thursday night mile meet. 56 last lap. Total four runners under 4 minutes.

Looks like he is ready for a good outdoor season.

Kara Goucher also impressive with a mile around 4:30. I don't have the official results.

In Adams race Dan Browne also looked good for a marathoner.

That is a solid last lap for Goucher off of 60 second pace. Hopefully he can get into a couple of fast 1500s in Europe and knock his pr down to around 3:35... he'll need it for the 5k.

I'm actually more impressed by Kara's speed. 4:30 for a 10k specialist is pretty impressive. Unless you are one of the Ethiopians, that is. Can she go under 31 this season?

Damn, I live out here in Portland and never make it out to this race! They do such a good job of keeping it a secret so the campus isn't over-run by fans who don't work there. I always know what day it is but, they never leak the time. Guess I could just hang out there all day next year. Hope someone can post results for the whole thing. Who else ran? Did they have an employee race again this year? Any info is appriciated. Thanks.

Adam G. keep it up. Can wait to see you win USATF.

i'm 4:30 in the mile and i'm not going sub 31 this summer

girls are a lot stronger than guys...or at least they're able to get to that level of strength in the span of their careers.

it would take forever(longer than the time available in their careers) for a male runner with a 45sec 400m pr to get that strong. get what i'm saying?

No

Well, she ran 31:17 last year, and she's obviously very fit. I'm pretty sure the 4:30 is faster over one mile than what she was running last year. So, to sum up, I don't really give a shit that you won't be going sub 31 this year...

Pretty sure? Goucher ran a 405.14 1500 last year....by any kind of conversion she was much faster then 430 last year.

Lynn Jennings had a mile pr of 4:24. So 4:30 mile not that impressive. Many 10k types are sub 4:30 milers. Would love to see Kara take Kastor out this year.

If you look at the top 10 list for American women, you'll see Drossin, Jennings, Dryer, Larrieu, Peters, Slaney. They could all run a pretty quick mile/1500.

Paula Radcliffe's run 4.04 for 1500m. So a 4.30 mile for Goucher's not a bad effort, if she did it in a 3km!

Nice run by Mr Goucher though. I assume he's not wingeing as much as he was on 'Nothing comes Easy'!!

Sean Graham ran 3:58 low and Sean O'Brien ran 3:58 high

What did Dan Browne run?

Yeah, comparing a 2:15 marathoner to Kara Goucher make alot of sense.

My bad. I did not realize she ran that fast for 1500... must've been in Europe. You guys are the stat masters! At any rate, she looks to be in good form and I hope she goes under 31 this season.

full results anywhere?

4:02 in training before the 2000 Olympics when she wasn't at her best
