Training Advice/Discussion High School

12 years ago 02/07/2012 1:31pm EST

Post your greatest celebrity "coulda been great" running stories. I gotta go with Eminem: dude could have gotten to low 1:50s and as far as I can tell he never took a serious crack at 400m. I'm guessing he could have been a 46.xx guy with proper training and dedication.

Greater Detroit Regional

May 22, 1990

Event #31 Boys 800m Run

Heat 3

1. Saunders, Jeremy (Grosse Point South) 1:52.31

2. Jackson, Curtis (Cass Tech) 1:53.87

3. Buchanan, Keith (Kings) 1:54.75

4. Mathers, Marhshall (Lincoln) 1:54.76

re: If Only...

RIPdyestat had a feature that allowed you to put in a HS time and it would tell you how that matched up with other HS runners.

I know 4 HS guys went sub 1:52.00 in 1989

Would 1:54.76 make the top 100 in '90?

No, it's for real. He was good but not great. And he had no idea how to pace himself--always went out far, far too quickly but was tough as nails even though he was dying pretty badly in the home straight almost every race.

Usain Dolt could appeal to a much broader audience if he wasn't such an arrogant ahole.

Already had a thread on this a few months ago, and we determined it was definitely fake. Go away troll.

re: duhe

So, someone says that something's not true and therefor it's not true? I didn't realize it was that simple. Results look pretty official to me. Plus you've got a former coach saying he's witnessed the guy run races in high school. How hard is this to believe? Guy never smoked, didn't do much drugs, and is built like a 400m/800m guy. Plus he's tough as nails. I believe it.
