When the Chinese take over, will they ban running?

It's going to happen sooner than you think.
better log those miles while you can!!!!!!
... They haven't banned running in China, why would they do it here?
they'll make you eat turtle soup....
Ban running? If only. They in fact are going to dominate the world in distance running, as in everything else.
I don't know if you guys read that article in the WSJ (or the book it was excerpted from) about "Tiger Mothers," but it's true, and not all Chinese boys and girls play piano and violin. My neighbors are Chinese, and instead of making their children play piano or violin, they decided to make their children take up distance running, in the hopes that it would lead to life-long physical fitness, build character, and perhaps lead to some scholarship money. Those kids train all the time. Right now they are doing 175 a week doing their base training for track. 10 in the morning, 15 in the afternoon, followed by 10x100 striders and a thorough and vigorous stretching routine. On the weekends they study Lydiard, Peter Coe, Noakes, etc. When they run, their mother rides beside them on a bicycle cursing at them in Chinese if they let the pace lag. The girl is only nine and has already run 17:52 for 5k (is that good?).
Mrs. Wang (that's my neighbor) says that there are plenty more like her back in China and pretty soon the Chinese and Chinese American runners will make the Kenyans and the Ethiopians look like a bunch of amateurs. And there are billions of Chinese, unlike the Kenyans, with, what, like 30 million people?
So, on the upside, the Chinese won't be banning running, but on the downside, you will now be losing to Chinese runners instead of East Africans. You will be reduced to trying to keep track of some random new Chinese runner every week (e.g. is that Wang Li that ran 12:22 for 5k, Wang Li the marathoner or Wang Li the steeplechaser?). And on top of that, the pro circuit will now probably be done exclusively in China, with maybe the occasional stop off in China Town in San Francisco.
You fear-mongering dingbats are worse than the G-men of the McCarthy Era. The Chinese depend on us economically.
They own Nike so why would they ?
You are one idiot white guy.

No. We'll be going to Philadelphia Eagles games in snowstorms and doing advanced calculus at the same time.
you dweeb. bet you don't even know why limits don't have to be taken at zero ;-)
Admittedly no. Although I think I used to. I took a Calculus class my freshman year in college and passed. That was some years back. But then I found more value and challenge in playing a Mississippi John Hurt song well.
you are a dweeeeeeeeeeb. you don't even know what you know and don't know. they don't teach why limits don't have to be take at zero til much later than lower division math. i won't tell you when they teach it. hah hah hah ;-)
When they put you all to work, you will be too tired to run after putting in your 18 hours at work.
Chinese overtrain ridiculously too much. If they really wanted a good base i'd say at 9-10 60-70 miles a week(exactly what Geb did) would give them the exact same result as 145 and burn them out much, much less.
You certainly do take limits at zero. For example limit as x goes to zero for the function y=1/x.

Chinese are much too smart to go through all this to achieve dominance in distance running. All they need to do is use some of their billions to lure Kenyans and Ethiopians, give them Chinese citizenship, win a few races, and then claim that Chinese are on top of world distance running. They're Chinese citizens, so they're Chinese, right? Oh wait, the US is already trying to use that model.
duface undergrad ! you can take limits at zero. but you can't always take limits at zero. go back to school dumbass !
tell the truth: are you a deep cover agent for the PRC army?
