Amazing Meb had such a great collegiate 5k/10k career training on the asphalt jungle of Westwwod.
Coach Larsen's bread-and-butter was 'long tempo's', rather than track intervals.
Yes or no?

Also of note on this race, had Mike Power not have been ill and DNF, he would have been top 10 as well.
Wait… Teddy Mitchell??
Ha!
No, missed out on Mitchell but heard many stories.

But 25 years earlier, Prefontaine ran ten 5K races faster than 13:30, wherein because of his fortitude, he personally tweaked Bowerman's hard day-easy day-hard day-easy to instead two hard-days-easy-day.
Yes or no?
Mind you, that was without the benefit of altitude training, or new-fangled thyroid drugs.
Yes or no?
And so, when we compare the PB's between Adam Goucher and Steve Prefontaine at the IAAF site, we determine they are quite comparable:

Yes, or no?
Was their intense training, comparable?
Yes, or no?

I'm surprised there aren't more people commenting on Rim Rock from being at this race.
The parking/access was a disaster of a bottleneck. I love Rim Rock - raced there myself - but they botched hosting in 1998 and that has been a black mark on their potentially hosting the NCAA championships in the years since. I hope that they do well hosting 2020 regionals, if it exists, and gains more credibility to be able to fix their mistakes from 98.
Parking is still a disaster. I raced their high school race last year, parking looked like an absolute nightmare and it took 30 minutes to get into the actual course. We could've got off and ran there faster.
Still, it's an absolutely beautiful course. I didn't do too great that race (or that year, to be honest) but it's one of my favorite courses to run and I was a little disappointed to not run it this year.
