Barnicle wouldn't be the type of guy I'd expect to go to a bible camp.

Jeff Wells and Tony Sandoval. 12 very tough miles for me.
Did an article for my college paper on them. Got to see the AW facility. Totally forgot about that memory until now...
I got to ride in an elevator with Jim Ryun--does that count?
I stayed ahead of him the whole way, too.

Todd Williams. I remember doing a few morning runs (3-5 miles) with him my freshmen year, barely hanging on but refusing to drop back, not because of ego but because he inspired me. He was a metronome. May sound corny, but as a recruited walk-on, it felt like an honor to run with him.
Some of you have run with some real talented legends (Ryun, McChesney, Prefontaine, Shorter, etc.).What were these people like? What did they talk about? What did they do? How did the workout go (on the roads, track, etc.)?
Meb!

Would have been in the late 80s. I was doing a track workout in Albuquerque, talked with him while we were warming up. He was doing a workout of 12 quarters with 200 jog, asked if I wanted to join him.
Was a pretty hard workout for me and had to skip one of the 400s. I was amazed with how effortless he ran.
Was a nice/friendly fellow.

On the day after John Walker broke 3:50 for the mile the first time. It sounded as though he had been on the phone with Liquori that day and neither of them completely believed it just yet.
This was two or three years before he would hold the World Indoor Mile Record himself.
german fernandez. i warmed up with him during a high school cross country state meet. does that count?
