yes, the fact that the interview takes place in the back of a shoe store, with a near-inept interviewer asking vague and stupid questions has nothing to do with the fact that webb comes off as uncharismatic.

you're an ass. this is a fringe sport and he's a normal guy. he also happens to be the best we've got, and the best we've had in... well, ever.

re: no charisma

I disagree, I think Webb is a bright, intense young man. I like his personality a lot.

re: skeebops the rebops

Does it matter about his personality etc as long as he stays the best and wins! Athletes are a special breed anyway- often lonely, solutory,quiet men who know they have a job to do- and let nothing come between them and their goal- to be the best, a winner, champion. Keep up the hard work Webber and bring back the gold!- Thats his Job!

I thought that the interview was great and I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the talks.

I don't think it's Webb, I think it's whoever is doing the interview (i.e., not a professional).

Alan has a great personality and one interview doesn't show it all :)

Seriously. It's like Flotrackr-as much as I love and appreciate the site and its interviewers-how many compound, non-direct, boring questions can you ask in a row?

re: Alan Arkin

Brandon Miles (milestat) and Mark Floreani (flotrack) pwn letsrun posters...they do this great thing called promote the sport instead of trying to hide behind forums to bash those standing at the front lines to advance the sport whether its the top athletes or media. Quit being bitter that you all wish you had jobs with this great sport like they do.

I do not believe that Alan Webb cited letsrun posters on the latest part of the interview "The Impact of Internet on Running". By the way, I enjoyed the last 2 parts to see what Alan thought about the media coverage of the sport.
