I'm interested in seeing the influence that height has on distance running ability.

Isn't Craig Mottram 6'0"?
6 2
i saw somewhere that david kimani was tall, and that paul tergat is over 6'0 tall.
Josh Moen is 6'1 or 6'2 and has ran 28:40 for 10k.
I believe Jack Bacheler (sp?) is tall. Kind of ridiculously tall for a distance runner but I'm not sure if he's like 6'4" or maybe slightly taller... can anyone confirm?
Tergat and Cheruiyot
Jack Bachelor was 6'7".
Luke Beavor who ran for Florida State stands at 6'10 and ran a 14:18 5K last year I believe.
Nick Rogers is 6'4".
Daniel Lincoln 6'3 8:08 AR Steeple
David Krummenacker 6'2 3:31.91 1500
Alan Culpepper 6'1 1500 3:38.64 5k 13:25.75 10k 27:33.93 Marathon 2:09:41
Said Ahmad 6'0 1500 3:35.94 Mile 3:57.04
El Guerrouj has got to be 6'0" or 6'1" - certainly not 5'9" as is "officially" listed. Don Kardong (2:11 marathon) is 6'4" if I remember.
Detlef Wagenknecht is 190cm/6'5"
world ranked in 800 '78, '81, '82
Juantorena is 185-186/6'3"
Almost forgot: Jim Ryun - 6'2"
AJ Acosta 6'2", Jason Hartmann 6'3", Joaquin Chapa 6'2", Andrew Lemoncello 6'+, Luke Gunn 6'6+?
I know this thread was done months ago but:
Gilbert Okari is a little over 6'
kevin mchale is 6'5 and a 3:44 guy
i think kevin is closer to 7 feet and is the gm for the minnesota timberwolves actually.
do not mention AJ Acosta...
look at the list of guys up above, this cocky kid does not deserve a spot
John Henwood (NYAC) is one tall mofo
