it's true though, why does LRC defend Hall's "pedestrian" 5K but you guys will blast everyday, non-pro runners on the boards? Makes no sense at all.

Yeah--why blast the non-pros? And why blast Hall? He had a great career, and what is wrong with him running again?

What are you trying to say?

Next thing you know ol' Ryan will be looking to break 3 hours in the marathon again!!

Woah, when was the last time he finished a race? Most impressive.

Ryan went sub 16 while pacing his daughters on a few laps and will do another one Sunday.

We're not making this up.

Let me know when he breaks 14 minutes again.

Probably two 15lb balls makes more sense.

Think his weight is dispersed more evenly than that.

Or six 5 pound bowling balls wrote:

More like a 30 lb. belt made out of Havarti

if you guys can win your local cherry picker 5k's in a 15:XX you must live in some Ohio backwater, or worse, Florida.

An easy thing to say.

All I know is that I live in hill country, and it is also hot and humid here in the summer. None of our races around here are flat. None. The fastest I have seen is 14:48. I see 15:xx here and there, and these races would be in better conditions (fall or winter). In our July 4th race, the two best guys in the area did not show, and the race was won in 16:40. The course is very hilly--with a steep one near the end--and it was a humid morning, and 16:40 was a nice time.

Stop making sweeping and/or uninformed generalizations.

My local 5km is won in 13:50-14:20 range :/. Some Kenyans come in on a bus from out of state

You guys are retarded.

Local 5k's are usually won in 17-18 minutes, not 15!

In fact there was a 5k in at Newport Beach in southern California recently that was won in 19 min and the winner received $200!

His daughters are running 77 second laps?

fred!

I think Robbie Young may now be a faster (imaginary) runner than Ryan Hall!!!

What do you think about a match race once Robbie's broken tiny toe is better and Ryan weighs 0.15 metric tons (330.75 lbs.) of solid muscle and fat?

It could be sponsored by SKINS, Muscle Milk (High Lead version™), RV World, Crossfit™, and…Please Jesus gofundme.com®

I can't wait.

fred…What country do you live in?

Is it the country that in the past was known as 'Britain'?
