We have the 5000, the 10000, sometimes the 3000, but why on earth do we never get to see the pros race the 8000 on the track?? Quite frankly I'm sick and tired of this and I'm not going to take it anymore. Starting right now, I'm creating a campaign to make the 8000 an official track event.
this is a stupid idea.
And Teg WOULD race the 8000, so don't give me any crap about that.

Has Teg even ever run 8000m?
If you're from Oklahoma you can't be THAT fast. Trust me, I know from experience!!!
Go Pokes!!!

I'm sure I'm faster than you. My last 1600 was 4:41.
1.5/10
That's a joke, right? 4:41 1600m?
I'm 39. I just read your claim to be faster... at 4:41, so I jogged to the track (2.5 mile warm up), did 4 strides and ran 4:39. I repeat, I'm 39 years old. I haven't raced in years and just popped a 4:39. Do you realize how lame 4:41 is compared to most on these boards? When I was in high school I was chasing girls around, not campaigning for some stupid track event that only caters to the same group of runners. When you're done with your first stupid campaign you can start another for an official 150m race. I'll be the first to bet that Tyson Gay might be good at it.
I'm 39, I'm going out to spend more time chasing girls
Clockwise or counter-clockwise ?
Most people on these boards are not nearly as fast as you think. They would have you think that everyone and their momma runs 100 mpw. It simply isnt true. Maybe 5% of all runners run that many miles a week.
If you are referring to my post, nowhere does it mention running 100 mpw. It does reference a mile, run in 4:39, and I'm guessing that there is an enourmous number of posters who have bettered 4:41 (and many accomplished that without running 100 mpw). Simply because 4:41 is not that impressive.
Yes, you are correct. 4:41 is not that impressive in the wide world of track and field. If you take that time and put it in Podunk, Mississippi; however, you will probably get the high school record.
I see what your point is, and I wasnt really referring to you, Im just getting kinda fed up with letsrun people being so elitist. I dont even believe them half the time anymore - again, not referring to you.
At one meet Teg had run the 5000m, after destroying the competition he decided to compete in the 3000m as well. Where he destroyed the competition again.
Afterwards one of tegs teammates asked teg if he wanted to run a easy 2000m cooldown to which teg replied 'I don't run no 10 k!'
