I just realized I'm exactly like Webb...only slower

I end up running the mile and not running it well when I should be running longer distances. Except that I am running my PR consistently but I know that my PR should be much better. I feel like I have been in better mile shape even though I haven't but I have only run the mile a few times within the last month and haven't run it much before that so maybe it is just going to take some time to improve (unlike webb). also unlike webb, i know that i don't have alot of natural leg speed so 5k/10k is probably my best choice. I guess I just sort of felt like voicing the similarities I see between me and Webb. anyone else ever feel like this?

I'm pretty sure you made more statements saying how you aren't like Webb than how you are like him?!?!?

Ha ha? 3:46? What on earth has Webb done to indicate he's better at 5K/10K? Run a 1:43 800?

Yeah, he should definitely move up...

He has run in 3 or 4 competitive 5ks since he left Michigan. He ran 13:10 in his 3rd serious crack at it. He ran 27:33 for his first and only 10k on the track. I'd say he is pretty damn well able to move up.

re: Wait...

A 3:46 has to be worth a sub-27 10k. Webb isn't anywhere near that. Someone who runs 3:46 but is better at longer distances, not simply proficient at longer distances, would have to be able to run around the world records.
