Ha. Elite walker. The term just sounds funny.
Raul Gonzalez the 50 k champ in LA tried to convert to running. He kept up for about 3k in his marathon attempt.
what about the other way around
If they were fit enough they would be able to run the distance instead of having to walk. At least they are out there giving it a go, in time if they train hard they may be able to run the whole way. Good to see it in the worlds, that might incourage them to train hard and who knows maybe next time one of them will qualify in a running even.
How fast can elite walkers run? Well, just look at their actual finishing times for 20 and 50k. They're RUNNING far more than you may think...!
George Bush is a Walker too, but he perfers to run...
As I recall, the 20k walk champion at the last olympics averaged about 6:27 pace. He was basically running, with a strange motion.
The reason elite walkers are so fast is because they take running breaks!
I believe that Robbie Heffernan of IRE was a sub 30 10K guy.
Just seeing his face now makes me feel very sorry for this country, especially those who have died overseas in uniform after September of 2001.
Once upon I time I sort of felt a bit of sympathy before him (the Current POTUS), mainly after the '00 election.
Not any more.
Hurry up 2008.
Then our most recent 'long national nightmare' version 2.0
will come to a close. I hope and dream.
I'm a moderate, not a liberal, and I run.
How high can shot putters high jump?
Shot putters are no talent, lazy non-athletes because they can't high jump, or choose to not high jump. Shot putting looks stupid so I will never do it because it challenges me to do something other than high jumping. Anyone who shot puts is gay. We should get rid of shot putting becuase only high jumping is cool and everything else is dumb. I heard someone say that all shot putters are cheaters and I have a picture that proves it! I talked to an Olympic coach and he said he hates the shot put and thinks they are all cheaters too. I tried shot putting once and it was hard, so it has to be gay, I will stick to high jumping and trashing the shot put because it makes me feel like a real man!
Don't kid yourself. Those guys ARE running. They have two feet off the ground the majority of the time. Not fast, but running, none-the-less.
20k WR is 1:17:25, or 6:14/mile. That's a damn good walk, in fact he wouldn't be too far behind me in a half marathon...
it is bullshit, but those bitches really are fast. I can't imagine walking a 38 min. 10k.

forget it dude. no way cares about race walking and you trying to influence people with whining will not work. NO ONE IS ENTERTAINED BY A EVENT THAT SEES WHO CAN WHISPER THE LOUDEST.
racewalking sucks, MJR.
i thought that was the whole point...that they canNOT have more than one foot off the ground at a time...that cool guy with the stop sign comes out to tell them they fouled...
