I didnt mean that to be insulting.
my theory:
Nate Jenkins, knowing his fitness, was likely in the middle of a progression run when he ran that "performance" so this progression run started from the IHOP in Allston/Brighton at North Beacon St at 6 min pace whilst chowing down a toasted egg-bagel sandwich in 1 hand, ran another 2-3miles toward Boston University indoor track facility at 5:30-5:45 pace, and then barged down the entrance to the BU indoor track facility at approximately 11:03AM...Nate then jumped in whichever heat happened to be going off. Turned out it was the Mixed Mile heat #5, so heat #5 had the luxury of a Saucony sponsored male runner putting in a 5:09 mile staring at girls in short shorts and just tooling around. WHen all the other runners finished exhausted at lap 8, Nate proceeded to run 8 more laps to clock a 4:50 and end the progression/tempo, but then the BU director kicked him off the track because the Mixed Mile heat #6 was about to start.
