and yet, next week, and then again next month, there will be another optimistic Webb poster starting yet another optimistically delusional thread about some chance at redemption at some obscure Euro meet, with multiple explanation points for emphasis..
Alan Webb is a 13:40 5K guy. What 13:40 quality runner in the history of athletics has ever generated a couple of dozen threads about their season?
I've been riding the Webb train for over 10years now (since his indoor mile in highschool), but even I didn't get have high expectations until I was trolled by a 'college coach' on another thread..... 'What?!?? You're a coach that just happened upon Webb doing a workout on your track? You timed him doing atleast 3 x 1k in 2:33ish with 400m jog, followed by a bunch of 200s in 29s!!'
Us Webb fans are easy troll targets, and we'll likely continue to be for several more years
