You kids still stunned a trail runner and sometimes ultra runner can crush all of you on the track? Joe Gray must have walk/jogged that 28:18 on the Stanford track.
What's hilarious to me is how even the "elite" runners are sucking down gels and fluids practically right from the start of a marathon. I've even seen an aid station set up on the track for a freaking elite 10k!
The likes of KP Kelly, Rob Young, Dave Reading, etc have turned ultra running/plodding/walking in to an even bigger joke and circus than it was before, only a few nutters take it seriously.
Agree on the track 10,000m with a water table EVERY LAP FOR 25 LAPS!!
It's freaking embarrassing. They don't even have that much aid in a 100 miler at Western States.
I think that's what's been proven: the 10,000m on the track is the ultra of track running.
I suppose the 5kers actually want to be neuro-muscularly, and the marathoners and ultra enthusiasts aren't interested in being fast. You don't need to practice as hard to barely cover a distance than if you wanted to improve at that same distance.
Makes perfect sense. It has always been a "race" for the white people who simply cannot accept the fact that they suck at running. So they just go longer and longer. That is why there is so much fraud at these races.
I jogged by at close to 9min pace at one of these events in my area. I actually they they were going slower than walking. Some of them snack and couch breaks every loop which was maybe a half mile.
