Yes, it would be much more entertaining to watch ultrarunners run much much farther than a 10K at a much much much slower pace that culminates in a 4 minute final 800 meters. I'm sure NBC is dying to televise all 14 hours of a 100 mile Olympic ultra event.
RIP track 10k

Well, then donate to the guys who did the interview video and posted it free. Or, next year buy the equipment for perfect audio/video and volunteer to do the interview yourself.

We've pretty much proved there that this isn't true, distance runners are a bunch of skinny, anemic glorified joggers who can't sprint, and look like midgets next to real 100/200/400m runners...
Yeah but look at all the fake 100/200/400m runners.

Ultrarunners are supposed to be laid back.

As compared to uptight distance runners...

It is the ultrarunners who are coming off as uptight on this thread. The rest of us are just having a few jollies.
Go smoke some weed and watch Sage vids on YouTube, man.

It has been rather fun trolling the stick-up-their-butt distance children of LRC. Can't sprint. Can't run real distance. Can't run trails. Such limited little lives. Losers.
bump your own posts much?
I've bumped my own more than 50 times so far. At least a dozen different names used. :-)
There are ultras on tracks, this isn't one of them.
Meat is for closers!

Based on the interview with JW that irunfar did, it seems that the turn he missed was not obviously marked. And there was no one standing there to tell runners to make the turn? Not good, WS.
Much rather see ultra than walking in Olympics.

Just heard the interview myself. It was a turnoff onto a path off the ROAD, less than 3 miles from the previous aid station. The race dropped the ball on this. They probably still think this race is what it was decades ago, not a big time race and everyone is truly volunteering so there's no responsibility. The race isn't like that anymore and they need to up their game, as the runners have upped their game in terms of quality.

Great interview. I learned a lot about what makes for a winner's attitude in that. His attitude contrasts notably with the attitude of many LR posters, who cultivate grievances in endless back-and-forth about trivial ego s--t. Winners know how to get it done, deal skillfully with what goes wrong, harvest spiritual gold, and let go of everything else. That lets you make the necessary adjustments and come back next time, stronger than ever.
Geez.
