Pros Robby Andrews, Craig Lutz & Kyle Merber Read Mean LetsRun.com Posts About Themselves

I gotta say, this is the best thing LetsRun has ever done even though it's been done before.

The question for all of them is

How far do you feel from 3:29? Or do you prefer a more modest PB but a medal at Worlds/Olympics?

Haha! Robby Andrews seems cool. I already knew Merber was cool. I honestly don't know the third guy.

These guys are all A-OK in my book. Developing a world-class sense of humor should be an essential part of any coach's bag of tricks, especially nowadays when the negative barbs are more prevalent than ever, thanks to LetsRun, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Like raw running talent, it sort of helps a wee bit if a coach's athletes demonstrate a genetic predisposition to humor. Our three guys -- Andrews, Lutz, and Merber -- fit the bill.

Having the ability to roll with the punches doesn't eliminate the occasional zinger from hitting home, though. So, boys, keep doing your intervals on the track and your mind training, also, in the hope that continued training is rewarded with positive results! You're all doing especially well at your self-deprication interval workouts, but injury can occur if you overdo things.

That was pretty funny, hope to see more videos like that from other runners. It always sounds funny when someone repeats some Internet tough-guy's words about themselves.

I've changed my opinion.

Robby is the real deal. He's stepped up to the plate and shown he can make teams and run smart and tough. I figure the best is yet to come from Robby. I think he's going to run faster and accomplish more.

Please take care with the haircuts though, dude.

Get Nick Symmonds to do this. I'm sure there is hours worth of material on here.

Do you mean the only guy Paris Hilton did not sleep with?

You stole this from the Tonight Show.

This is a pretty cool new idea, I like seeing what these guys are like behind the scenes. My only critique is that at times they looked a bit on their heels, most noticeably Robby, he looked like he was trying to think of comebacks on the spot. But if I was put in the same position I would have been no better. Anyway, I like this idea and thought it was a pretty funny video. Also you guys should see if you can get Alan Webb, given how many people talk about him on here there should be some gold material around the boards.

Grace Ping, Brandon Marshall, Kevin Castille

and definitely Walmsley.

A Kaiha/Rob Young/Kip Litton/That Philly-douche-with-the-monster-thread would be off the hook.
