I think every runner wonders later in life if they could have trained harder and run faster. If Weston day never decided to run over 70 miles per week he would just be another 16 flat 5k guy no one talked about. Some people are talented enough to run fast off 30 mpw but some aren't. Weston wasnt so he decided to put in the work and turned himself into a low 15s 5k runner and a low 9s 3200 runner. And even if he does peak young Do you criticize Jim Ryun for peaking young? Of course not. You respect that someone was willing to take a chance and dedicate themselves fully to being as good a runner as possible. While you are posting on letsrun Weston is probably completing his second double threshold workout of the day! This is the problem with American running. While east african teenagers are clocking 100 mile weeks and making world championships you think 85 miles per week is too much.

I actually respect Weston as a runner a lot. I don’t think anyone in the state works like he does. What I said was more rebuttal towards you. I know I’m not the only one who’s tired of you and every other Scioto goon on this forum dick-riding him and promoting him every time he’s not the talk of the region. It gets very old. Everyone here cannot deny that Weston is a phenomenal runner. No one said that, and no one is sleeping on him. But when you boast over and over that he “is every bit as elite” (which he isn’t, Gabelman just smoked him, and there are a few other runners who would do the same), it gets ridiculous

Ay take it easy on the Scioto boys. They cry easily. Great post tho.

Weston Day will be running with the lead pack at Obetz in November until about the mile and a half mark, where Ricchiuti, Gabelman, and Trapp will then show what's what and break away. Day won't be able to hang on. He'll finish somewhere in the range of places 7 to 12, still a noble effort.

Thanks for that link. Too bad it's under paywall.
The Toledo Blade is such a mediocre newspaper. It's laughable that they think their schtuff is worth enough to put behind a paywall.
I wonder if Ottawa Hills could beat Toledo St. Francis.

Westerville North with a very impressive win at Tiffin, even without Gableman running.

That's impressive to get a win at the Tiffin XC Carnival without their top runner. But why was he not there?

Smith also not there (again) and Saketh R not there. Would've liked to see that one.

Bizzare that so many top guys were not there. Could be several things. Injury. Illness. ACT. College visit.
That’s a super impressive pack for WN. 4 guys 16:09-16:18. That will be very hard to beat with Gabelman added in.

Kilbourne was racing but they were missing 1, 5, and 7
Deeslir is #4 usually. So missing 1-4-7. But North would've crushed them anyway. Kilbourne probably #2 here if at full strength.

Makes last week's decesion to jog the first mile even more puzzling.
