Well, rojo is definitely an idiot. That is indisputable...

Sorry pal, by that statement alone you've just proved you are a total idiot.

You may find it advantageous, when calling someone an idiot, to make sure that your post does not make you sound like a moron.

'you've just proven'

I find it advantageous that I've proved you are also a total idiot.

Oh, rojo has shown time and time again that he is pretty dimwitted. No doubt at all about that. Is he any more of a mental midget than Total Idiot or the average grammatically challenged poster on this site? Maybe, or maybe not.

Hmmm, so does this mean it's statistically better to train for 7 weeks than 15? I wonder if any sabermetricists have run the numbers on this one yet.

Dunno, maybe in some instances, but I do know rojon is a total idiot for saying "rojo is definitely an idiot. That is indisputable...", when it is disputable.

Every fact is disputable. You, of course, would be on the wrong side of the argument. I imagine that you are quite accustomed to being in that position. In a strict sense, "that is indisputable" is incorrect. There will always be somebody stupid enough to dispute even the most solid fact.

Yet another total idiot.

Why are you insulting me? All I did was ask a question. And no, my PR is not anywhere close to 22. I'm a national level runner.

This is great!

-"You're an idiot."

- -"No, you're an idiot!"

-"Here's my PR! So you're a bigger idiot!"

Halfway down the first page and we're already off topic and rolling out PR's. Definitely not a record but impressive, indeed.

Someone like Bekele already does 30k long runs twice per week, year round. He also averages over 100mpw, so for someone like him, 7 weeks of Marathon training is different as it is for the rest of us hobbyjoggers who slowly build with a "10 mile long run" and go from there...

Talk is cheap. He won't break 2:04.

No he doesn't average more than 100 mile weeks year round. In fact, he was running right at or slightly less than 100 miles a week before his last marathon. For Paris he was around 110 miles a week. Canova said that he was doing 80-90 miles a week when he was a track runner and setting world records. He learned this when he became his coach. Both he and Hermens have talked recently in interviews and on this board about his mileage both what it is currently and what it has been in the past. But no, he doesn't "average over 100 mpw".

Give the average NFL player 7 weeks to train and he could run at least a 2:05 marathon.

That's what I heard. They are supremely talented athletes, therefore would be good at any athletic event that they focused on.

What are you talking about? Only one person called the other an idiot and he only did it once. There was no back and forth and there was no rolling out PRs. You've made up an entire argument in your head.

Really lame attempt, dude.

Bekele will break 2:05 comfortably

Thanks for agreeing with me, you've proved me right.

You missed the '"I'm a national level runner" part.

He's a seasoned veteran of the boards.
