The rabbit for the 7:50 group at the Boston meet has fallen through. We need a rabbit that can go ideally run 2k evenly at 7:50 pace.
If you can do that, we'll pay you $500. If you can't do that but can run a mile evenly in about 4:11 we'll give you maybe $300.
63 flat per 400 - 31.5 is what we are looking for.
If you are interested, email me and I'll forward you to the runners.
If you are in college, I'll pay you cash and deny it to the NCAA.
bump
Sack up and run with the big boys in the race! The Army men will take the pace.
Wait, 7:50 pace for 2k? Or 5:15 total 2k time? They dont match.
If you are in college, I'll pay you cash and deny it to the NCAA.
Oops, misread. Thought it said "Rabbi needed"...
Being a rabbit sounds like a fun side job.....

Glad you decided to take my advice from the previous thread. I'm sure you'll find somebody.

Honestly as someone who probably isn't good enough to ever make USA's... this is intriguing. Already training year round, pick up a few pacing jobs and pick up a few k extra each year.

I complain about rojo as much as the next guy, but goddamn sometimes you're awesome.
Do you have liability insurance to cover injuries?
Is the $500 with a W-2/1099 (or whatever) form issued to an independent contractor?

A former runner of mine did this about 8 or so years ago- he paced people to sub 4:00 miles.
Picked up some nice extra cash.
I used to be able to do that.
In fact I rabbitted for a Bob Kennedy and Steve Holeman 3000m race once.
How hard is it to find a pet store in the Boston area that sells rabbits?
I’m not sure that publically stating you will circumnavigate NCAA rules is such a great idea.

I didn't catch the part where he wrote If you are in college, I'll pay you cash and deny it to the NCAA.
I assume that was an attempt an humor.
No college coach has last minute availability for a runner at the level to waste a weekend rabbitting instead of racing or training.
And the public offer of money under the table doesn't help.

I think he has a typo in there someplace.
Can you call in a favor at Cornell? Or, any guys who used to go there that you can call up and ask?
I don't think it's absurd to contact some current coaches and ask if they have an athlete they'd like to send. For many of them it's a glimpse at the only real future in professional running they might have and doing it once (even for free) might be a worthwhile experience.

Wrong.
2k at that pace would be a great workout.
Ever heard of racing into FITNESS?

Solid reply. I have to admit I laughed at this one.
