Now, as a 39 year old with a young family and no recent races, a 4:15 would be pretty remarkable and among the best his age in the U.S. for 39 year olds who have talent plus 2 full years of recent training. I figure 4:25 and lots of graciousness and happiness about still being fast and not broken after his 10+ years of super intensive training. I wonder if this means Alan will be a masters runner who inspires many others to do the same and helps popularize the sport that way as Bill Rogers did for an earlier generation. He’s got the talent plus the sociability and genuine interest in others to fill that role if he wants it. I am rooting for him, once again.
4:25 for a 1500 for Alan Webb as a 39 year old? He is 39, not 59.
That 13:57 at Burke Lake will never be touched. The first mile is rolling but net down hill. He probably ran 4:22, and around 9 min at the two mile (the second mile rolling but uphill).

100% agree. 4:25 1500 for webb should be pretty damn easy unless he got fat but i think he's rather skinny still.
Webb, the American mile record holder, talks about his career after running one last mile in the place where he first broke 4:00. "I gave it everything that I had ... in every way. Trying to do the best I could with what I wa...
If there was EVER a time for a black page, this is it!
I would normally agree but we can't have two black pages on the same night.
Should we do a black page for Webb or one for the death of Evan Jager's career as a global player on the elite scene?
Note to self. Come on rojo, don't be a pessimist. Talent doesn't go away!!
y'all literally the reason this board is so negative and pros shun it like the plague.
wish elon musk would offer you guys a little bit of cash to walk away and turn this thing around. like for real you and your brother would be doing the running community a huge favor if you sold it and walked away. built up a solid product but have been holding it back for years now.
