Anyone on this site ever made a comeback or recommit to distance running after a poor college career? I personally know several old friends and teammates who have gone into college with a very promising future, only to fade out of the scene and ultimately quit the sport. All their stories are relatively similar: great athletes or hard working runners make it to the next level and fizzle out due to injuries, poor coaching, or they decide that their talent for the sport is just mediocre at best. I've been told that these forums absolutely reek of runners of that sort and would seriously like to know how, if any of these types actually get back into the sport and somehow make some kind of comeback after college. As a former college flop myself, I would like to hear some motivational stories about getting back into the sport. Anyone have personal experience or know another runner who was able to get over their college slump and respark their passion for the sport? Any hope for guys like that? Or am I just doomed to scrounge through my shoe box of medals from freshman year pondering what could have been?
