Who would you rather train with?

I think you meant Phidippides instead of Marathon

maggie vessey

Pre- because he's badass and would like to slam some beers and try to pick up some girls with after

Solinsky- He's a big dude and I think he's the next in line for greats.

Cassidy - He's from a book, so that'd be pretty cool

Mourhit.

Selma Hayak

Haile Gebrsalassie

Shorter, Geb and Tergat

Wejo could join in every once in a while.

We'd hit 150 miles each week and hammer some great track workouts along the way. Sounds like fun to me.

Kellog and Lydiard would oversee our training.

I'd pick Shorter and Karnazes.

none of the above

Coe, Ovett and Cram, substitute Herb Elliott if Cram cant train because he's having his hair done.

Bill Rodgers. Why isn't he on the list, but somebody like Rupp is?

Imagine a 12 x 300 workout with that group. ****Shutter*****

Or how about Shorter, Prefontaine and Viren from May-July of 1972?

Yikes, sounds wonderfully painful and invigorating.

Shorter, Rodgers and Geb.

Steve Prefontaine, Kenny Moore, Henry Rono, Zapotek, Queton Cassidy, Chris Solinsky, Roger Bannister, Jack Landy, Alberto Salazar, Frank Shorter, Gerry Lindgeren, Adam Goucher, Meb, Haile Geb, Wejo, Chris Barnicle, Galen Rupp, Alan Webb, Dathan Ritz, Ryan Hall, Marathon (Greek warrior), Arthur Llyraid, Lase Viren, David Bedford, and Billy Mills

Frank Shorter & Lasse Viren.

Frank Shorter.

Kenenisa and Tariku Bekele

Derek Clayton needs a mention, one of the most maniacal trainers of all time.

Clayton, Shorter, and maybe Solinsky

I'd train and race with my dear ventolin, so I could show him that his calculator was not particularly useful in predicting his dismal performances. Also, I would run fast enough occasionally to shut him up, if that's possible.

Mary Decker, because I could keep up with her.
