Unless I'm mistaken, in the interview with Dobson linked to on the front page, Dobson says that he ran 4x1 mile in 4:13, 4:18, 4:18, and 4:13. The wording is a bit tricky, perhaps leading the Brojos to think that, as stated on the front page, Dobson ran 7x1 mile in 4:14avg. Just thought I would point that out.
I didn't read the interview, but I thought someone must have made a mistake since the front page said 4:11 for 3 x mile and 4:14 for 7 x mile. If someone could do 7 x mile in 4:14, they'd probably be close to 10k WR shape.
It is possible with a breather in between, isn't it?
"Before that we did four, in 4:13, two in 4:18, and another in 4:13."
It'd be nice for America if Ian Dobson did 7x1 mile in 4:14, but, alas, the comma dispels that possibility.
The confusion could have been avoided with a semi-colon.
"Before that we did four; in 4:13, ..."
Heck, you could even go whole hog and drop a FULL colon in there. I'm not that flamboyant myself, but if you had the appropriate grammatical self-confidence, you could get away with it.
Listening to his vocal cadence, which called for a comma, it made sense, but I can see where there could be confusion. I was trying to duplicate the patterns of Ian's speech, but if there's a show of hands in favor of it, I could change the punctuation.
