The point that Mikey made was that getting up after a fall and resuming running would lead to injury, I don't believe that to be true and I gave a couple of examples. .

His point was also that sommetimes you actually get hurt when you fall, and if you get up at that point in the race and try to finish, you just make it worse. IE his Brannen example. You don't have enough time to assess your situation if you're going to get right back at it. In a XC race like you mentioned early on, you have plenty of time to ease into the race and decide if you should continue. Both of your examples were the opposite of what he was saying as several people have pointed out. In a championship race you go for it. This was not one of those cases.

You owe Mrr82 an apology. You keep making wrong points over and over and misquoting him.

I didn't know there were any runners in Brockton since the days of Ed Norris?

Wow, good for you.

mr82 or whatever your name is, stop posting under different screen names, its hard to keep up with you.

Drops a 9.98 from 100m to 200m then finishes in last at 2:06. But his 9.98 will get people talking about his potential at another distance. In all seriousness I won't speculate and wish him the best. And by not speculating I mean 1:48 high 1:49 low.

anything in the 1:49-1:52 range would be great for him right now. without knowing the rest of the field it would be difficult to believe, even for a first race, that they would bother unless he could hit around 1:50 right now. anything less could be both good and cautious as if he goes out and pops a 1:45-1:46 he could end up hurting himself. this kid, now a young man, doesn't really run races at half speed if any of you recall. he wants it all or wants nothing and this will be a big task of alsal and co. to reign in his instincts for the races where it really doesn't matter much.

He hasn't been training for 800 is probablythe biggest thing here. If Webb started running again in May/June and wanted to run 1:46 by auguest/september, he sure as hell could. It will probably bode well for his 1500 if he can get under 1:50. I can't believe we're even talking about Webb breaking 1:50 or not.

I have been talking about him breaking 1:40. Belive it!

DNF, YOU KNOW IT.

1:47-1:48

Yea, but the DNF will be for a good reason!!!

Brockton won the MA XC state meets back to back in 05 and 06. Almost none of their guys went on to do much in college, but they have a very strong high school program.

Anyways, I say Alan Webb goes 1:48 on Saturday.

ohh you are a clever little worm aren't you. can't imagine what you are invested in that benefits from these guys not fulfilling their potential, perhaps it's something like:

"hey look I'm not a total waste, this webb guy isn't perfect either"

then with a maniacal driven fantasy you can create an alternate universe that starts to bring your shortcomings to the level of their achievements.

whatever you need to justify taking up our precious oxygen!

Yawn, dang troll. Just attempting to baiting people. Don't trolls like yourself every tire of making pro-someone and anti-someone posts within the same thread? Yeah I know, You love it to death. You're on a roll. Oops, make that you're on a real troll.

Alan Webb will run 1:45.99 or faster. He's fit and ready. He's been working on strength, kick, and fire. The 800 on August 14, 2010 will show that.

Very clever, took me about 10 sec. to create a post that got your feathers all ruffled.

Thanks

BTW, I couldn't care less what Webb (or Rupp)does, win, lose or DNF? Has no effect on my life at all.

If Webb runs wearing feathers how much faster can he run? If his feathers are ruffled is that good or bad for his performance.

"Very clever, took me about 10 sec. to create a post that got your feathers all ruffled."

Legit poster turned troll, don't get all defensive dude.

In order to break 1:48, Webb will need to make sure he shaves his head and races without a singlet. That will make him more aerodynamic.
