I am honestly sick and tired of all of these DL races that aren't going sub 3:30, 13:00 or 26:00

    What on earth is the point of running these races if you aren't going to try and run fast? Going for the win is pointless at these races- why not try to run as fast as you possibly can? It's like were seeing fewer and fewer sub 3:30 1500 races, sub 13:00 5000 races and sub 27:00 10k races these days. I can't believe it, track and field is getting so boring without these fast races.

    Tough sh!t - find a new sport to watch. This sport is about beating people in a race, and Diamond League is only different by organizing better runners to beat.

    re: the nitty gritty

    epo is the reason the times have slowed from 1500-10000

    that is where the drug has the greatest effect

    I heard its biggest effect is to make people stupid.[/quote]

    In all the interminable tapeworm tapestry of EPO threads, this comment wins the prize for best insight.

    re: subfive

    but that is fact,pure and simple.

    stupid not to factor EPO/ other peds into equation.

    with such times and recovery and maintaining peak .

    or else just a complete and utter fan-boy .

    and a win is a win yes

    but you versus the clock is just that.

    pure and can be simplified to exactly that .

    reagrdless of other factors and like

    competing against anyone who as ever competed.

    an epitaph
