      • I can run faster than that and all I do is bang women from the local bar and play poker and video games.

      • You mean to tell me his 800 speed didn't carry over to the half-marathon? EVERYTHING I KNEW ABOUT RUNNING IS A LIE!

      • He never liked running and only did it to facilitate his business interests.
    • Just wow...

      • Don't most guys of his ability and much less ability, for that matter, run 20 milers at that pace or faster routinely in their training? I know I did a quite a bunch when I was in HS and college, and I pretty much sucked.

        No, but it carries better than that.

        I appreciate and respect Simmons skill and career but he is slow at 400.

      • I ran a faster half when I was 12 years old and like 4'9". That woulda been awesome beating him at that age!

      • Why criticize???
      • For those criticizing his time, he won by 5 1/2 minutes and 9 minutes ahead of 3rd (1st woman) at an event with only a couple of hundred finishers so I don't think that he was going all out. Who knows how fast he really could have run?

      • 1:24 half is that actually running?
        Long course? Did he run 1-3 miles to far.
        I run that hung over and smiling every Sunday.

      • Big fan of Symmonds' career, loved watching him race. it's clear what he's trying to do: embrace hobby jogger life to reach a broader market for his business outside of the hardcore track fans. He's not going hard on that 1:24 half, but it's just fast enough to be respectable and relatable to road warriors. His goal for the marathon is the ever-elusive (to the masses) SUB 3!
