What's the best way to solo a 7:52 3k - LRC Singlet guy is going for it on Sunday at Dutch champs (8 am ET on Youtube)

Link to his Dutch interview? We can be the judge of if he's good at Dutch..

I've posted my training on the other thread:

I think I could have definitely worked towards handling travel better this season. it generally upsets my routine and I have trouble recovering from it. but I really can't complain with PRing with a 7:54.

Looks like the original video is gone but the youtube of race is here:

Congrats to Ben. Too bad he couldn't wear the LetsRun.com singlet but I'm counting it as one national championship in the books for LetsRun.com.

Why were you carrying a watch in your hand?

And why didn't they allow the LRC singlet?

logo was too big. let's get a conformist letsrun jersey, wejo, I'll wear it wherever.

hah, the idea of running 752 solo was wrecking my nerves. i thought if I had the watch I'd be able to hit the splits easier. held it in my hand so it was easier to get rid of if I came to my senses.

Congrats Ben on the indoor mile PB (4:02.41 today in Ireland).

Ben speaks fluent Dutch; trust me. And Hassan's Dutch is fine; she has an accent that's a combination of her native tongue and the Dutch that's spoken in the south of the country.

Then he did a lengthy interview in Dutch. I know one thing- his Dutch is darn good. Doubt they'll be calling him a "Plastic Dutch" as a result. I wonder how well Hassan speaks Dutch.

Sifan Hassan speaks Dutch very badly. And her culture isn't compatible with the Dutch society (she has claimed some pretty extreme stuff in interviews, like wanting to race in a hijab and saying Muslims shouldn't participate in the sport).

I can't manage to find his interview in the Youtube link, otherwise I would assess Ben's knowledge of the language. But I can assure you his name couldn't be more Dutch!

Veel succes nog Ben!

Then why is she racing? Or is she not Muslim?

Wanting to race in a hijab is 'extreme'?

She wants to wear a scarf on her head when running, and you class that as extreme?

How does one of your disposition go through life without simply dying of shock?

Wanting to race in a hijab is extremely dumb
