African is not an ethnicity. Any more than American is. Or European.
European, you think Europeans.
Native Americans, you think native Americans. Not everyone born and raised in America.
If I said African, you would not think someone was talking about Arabic-Berbers.

3. Fastest miler from the western hemisphere
4. 5th fastest human to ever run the mile.
Obviously not true.
Steve Cram, one mile pb 3:46.32 (former WR)
Alan Webb, one mile pb 3: 46.91
NO. Maybe a 2:04 guy....but not an Eluid
the430miler is a legend.
WEBB IS BACK BABY

Just Christ move the f**k on from Alan Webb. There is a reason he accomplished next to nothing his entire international career. He was a pathetic and spoiled brat that couldn't dedicate himself to any training program. Webb constantly expected himself to improve at the rates he did as a kid and had tantrums when it took long periods of time to see results. How many times did he change events/coaches? How many times did he end up injured and completely failing to make any notable achievements for a season?
He ran two notably fast races in a decade as a pro athlete and you slow ass white boys idolize him like he had the talent to be the greatest in human history. Speculate all you want but Webb was never going to be a world beater. His body couldn't handle the grind of athlete training and his mind lacked the maturity to focus on a single goal.
1:43, 3:30, 3:46 and 10k in ~27:30 in a relatively short period of time 12 years ago was actually quite notable then, and is still impressive now. He absolutely should be a multi-time medalist with those wheels, but it did not work out that way.
The diesel mechanic???
Last time I checked, El G was Caucasian.

No, it isn't about that. The claim is being made he could have been the best marathon runner in the world. Sure. He could have won the 100m, too, and leaped tall buildings in a single bound.

Surely you don't consider Borat to be a white person.
Borat is definately not white.

This idea of "white" ,"black" and "yellow" people is silly. Polish, Germans and French people are different people and should not be categorized as a single unit. Same thing with Japanese, Chinese, and Koreans.

1. Fastest caucasian miler of all time

4. 5th fastest human to ever run the mile.
1. North Africans are considered Caucasian. El G is the fastest Caucasian miler.
3. Cram is from Gateshead which is in the Western Hemisphere.
4. He’s the 8th fastest miler. El G, Ngeny, Morceli, Cram, Komen, Niyongabo, and Aouita are all faster
Come on man.
I hope he's able to continue the truck repair business while taking on head coaching responsibilities.

If i can handle it, then he can.
I am a head coach (meaning the coach that's in charge. Head coach does not mean that I coach you on giving head).
In addition to my head coaching job I am involved in the stock market, plus own a tanning salon company in west texas and am turning the enormous underground cave on my texas ranch into a world renowned tourist attraction.
By definition, Alan Webb is the most talented runner of all time.
He is someone who can be successful at anything in the world when he tries.

Let me guess. The Best Little Bore House in Texas.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
