I know after his 50k road best for the Carbon X shoe he said he wasn’t sure, but he’s been tossing in some workouts recently around 5 flat pace. Like today he did 5xmile from 5:10-4:50 roughly. Obviously not an impressive workout but elevation gain was only 100 feet, so it’s clear he trying to get some ‘speed’ back in his legs.
I’m not a walmsley fanboy but I would love to see him run trials as kind of a dark horse/wild card character.
Yes, I think so. Before then, he is on the team for the World Long Distance Mountain Running Championships in November.
Of course, he's going win it!!!
From my understanding, he wants to run the trials. I think the purpose is primarily because it is good training for Comrads, which he will participate in next spring. That said, he's been real quiet about it recently. I know he was battling a few small injuries earlier this summer, perhaps that made him take a step back.
Jimbo learned to keep his mouth shut and let his actions speak. Which that is the way it should always be. Good old Jimbo is better than Krupicka, Zach Miller, and even Sage.
27th at the Houston Half and can’t keep up with the best ultra runners in the world. Has never run a marathon. Not sure why anyone is expecting anything from him.

What exactly is a fake man? Probably a more accurate statement would be a man who has more responsibility is a man who has more responsibility and a man who has less responsibility has less responsibility? But then it seems pretty self-evident.

How about not having kids to curb the problems associated with overpopulation? Or being a teacher? How about negotiating peace between warring factions? Or what about being a vigilante type who hunts down bad guys?
The big thing is you can't be a fake man. You can be an irresponsible man but a man you still are. It's just semantics but it seems important to you that men be "men" in you're prescribed fashion. You like children and war and that's great. But think of the heavyweight lifters who probably say something like "real men need to be able to lift X pounds." Or folks with lots of guns- "real men need to own at least X guns." Or like folks on letsrun saying you need to run sub 10 minute miles to be running. It's a spectrum! Maybe call yourself a superman and all those you deem inferior just men. Cause if you aren't a real man, what are you?
I also just reread the originally post- how did he bring up anything about "real men?" Seems like you just came out of the blue with that one. Maybe you accidentally posted to the wrong thread or something?

Well, to play devils advocate, he ran western states and some other hilly ultras and then only specifically trained for Houston for 2 months. He has an 8:40 steeple and 13:50 5k from way back in the day. And it’s not like the US is good at the marathon. With a guy with that much strength, you never know where he could finish if a few guys (ward, faubs etc) have off days.
To be clear, even if he’s in great shape, I wouldn’t pick him for top 3 at trials. But I do think having him in the race would add an interesting spin. Especially if he does some Yuki K style surges on the hills and stuff.
If he can crack the top ten and post a decent time that would be a victory. The roads and trails are two different beasts.

I don’t care how fast someone is. When he’s faced competition he hasn’t proven he can succeed, any surface or distance.
I would say YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey, Mizuno boy, stop being irrelevant. Walmsley lit it up at Sierre Zinal after a CR at Western States. He does plenty fine with competition.
Mizuno is a crack head. Back to back course record wins at states and a 50 mile WB that held for over 40 years. Yeah he clearly can't do shite.
Oh, quick question: what was Killian's best time at states? Follow up question: how many hours did he beat Francois Dhaene at 2018 states...you know, the guy whose won UTMB like 4 times?
I feel sorry that your mon had to raise such a complete knucklehead.

Not only is he going be in the top ten, he will win it.

You can't be serious. He has the World record for 50 miles. Many course records. 1:04 half marathon with very limited half marathon training. He will easily win the trials in 2:10.
He won't win, but he will compete. His city neighbor, Scott Fauble is going to win since Galen "Glass" Rupp will be hurt as usual.
The funny thing is Jim will finish about 2 minutes behind these guys at trials, but they'd be hours behind him in a 100 miles.
