Alan Webb's Pay Check

I think that Webb sounded more well balanced in his interview than he has sounded in years. And he didn't say he hated the mile. He said that last year miling wasn't fun. There is nothing wrong with that. From the way he sounded I think that he will have a huge summer.

he will have a big summer

he just said he didnt enjoy miling LAST year im sure he still loves it

seems like he's got a head on his shoulders right now... who knows if it will fall off or not, but it should be an ineteresting (better hopefully) year for him.

He has always seemed like a decent guy. Hope he kicks some ass this year. His performance last weekend showed he truly has his strength back.

If a guy like Lunn or Robison or whoever ever breaks a 3:50 mile, it won't be big news. If Alan Webb breaks 3:50 it will give this sport a big shot in the arm.

Guest,

I hope that last comment was meant sarcastically.......

Webb seems like a good guy...I wish nothing but the best...I think the guy is trying his best...which is all anyone can ask for...except on message boards

What kind of shot? THG? EPO? NARCOLEPSY DRUGS?

Just playing, I like Webb.

How much did that dude sign with Nike for? If so what the hell is he saying that he does not enjoy the mile for. If I was getting paid that much I would love the mile, 5k, 10k, the steeple, the 100 or what ever Nike wanted me to love. Come on dude your 19? Get over yourself and run fast.

Can you read and comprehend? Like a previous post stated, Webb said he did not enjoy the mile LAST YEAR, because his performances made it difficult. He also stated that he does love running and winning in general.

Would you rather that last year he was content with and enjoying subpar performances?

He's so cocky that all he's been doing for the past 6 months is admit how disappointing his outdoor season was and to get in very good condition early.

If he really was cocky, then he would've made excuses and shown some different behavior than he has. His comments and drive should be impressive for those who know better.

Alan Webb had a great race, now everybody loves him. That's funny considering how you guys hated him like a week ago. If he has a bad race next time you guys will reverse your position.

That may be true, but I've expressed unconditional support for the guy since 2001. I have said that anyone who works with the desire and tenacity that he does, has me on the bandwagon, even when the results are subpar.
