Yeah, just like all those other Ohio collegiate middle distance runners who have turned out to be so dirty.

Murphy getting greedy. Only a matter of time before he tests positive.

Other Ohio collegiate middle distance runners?

The recent article shared over Let's Run about Murphy shows he is deliberate and thoughtful in his approach to training and racing. So I assume he shows up ready to contend in the 3000 in Boston.

Can you please post a link to the article? Mostly just curious.

Going to be a great race. Paul is my favorite. He and Centrowitz are the next big things in U.S. 5000 meter running. Either will get the outdoor American record for the distance in 2017-18.

What does this even mean?

People who aren't impressed by a professional runner entering off-distance races in the pre-season are allowing their spouses to have intercourse with other people?

Please clarify.

Perfectly stated.

Both of you are cucks.

wut?

Centro's 5000 PR is 13:20. He will never come near Lagat's 12:53. He will never go sub 13.

a few more data points:

Alan Webb 1:43.84/3:30/3:46/7:38 enroute to 2M/13:10/27:34

Steve Ovett 1:44.8/3:30.77/7:41

Steve Cram 1:42.88/3:29/7:43

Didn't he run that in college? Like isn't that a pretty silly thing to say without context? "He didn't run close to the AR before he was world class so he has no chance now" ???

Gees you roll over pretty quickly?

How did you form your original position? Your deep and abiding understanding of track?

Clayton Murphy!

as unamusing as that series of posts is, I want to add a piece of information, namely, that Paul Chelimo's coach thinks he is ready to take on Rupp's American indoor 3k record of 7:30.16. I don't know that he is going to try for it in this race or later. He should have the competition to do it but I'd assume he'd have to get in some rust busters first.

Nobody can beat me. I am Clayton Murphy.

As others have said, it's more than likely he won't finish near the leaders, but this is a good sign. He'll never have the speed of the top 800m specialists, and this is a good way to work on his endurance as an 800/1500 guy. I feel like a lot of runners at all levels are afraid to step out a bit like this and think it will serve him well later in the year.

Everyone is so relieved that you approve.
