Sean asked: Would it be possible for the walkers on the list to post their 10k (running ) prs. Also their 1/2 Marathon, and Marathon times. Might open a few eyes. This is a silly request. How about we hear about the walking times for elite marathon and 10K runners? They are different

The request seem far from silly to me! It looks like most walkers are proud of their running times and have some impressive times at that! Mantis -Original Message- From: Ed Dana Parrot [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Saturday, December 23, 2000 4:08 AM

I'm stepping in late, I realize. But anyway. I have to object to "DGS's" statement about training more than one Olympic Games (cycle) and sports regime. This somehow implies that he believes that the US sprinters have some God sent talent that would make it impossible for anybody from, say,

Hi Ed and Dana, I think you misunderstand my reason for asking. I am a walker, not a very good one, but I know several walkers who have awesome running times. One guy who although he's an international walker wouldn't be an Olympic medal contender has ran sub 29:30 for 10k track off walking

Kurt, There are some who think that it started in the US. In his autobiography "Big Shot", published in 1981, British shot putter Geoff Capes wrote "We cannot blame the Eastern Europeans for the prevalence of drug taking. It started in the United States. No doubt about that." and "Every thrower
