t-and-f: The 7th Hardest Thing to do in Sports

According to USA Today, running a fast marathon is the 7th hardest thing in sports to accomplish, one place ahead of completing the Tour de France: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2003-02-20-ten-hardest-marathon_x.htm They are counting down the top ten, one difficult thing each day, and today

Not so. The women's 1500 was run in the 1999 Championships in Atlanta. Suzy Hamilton won in 4:13.96. Not sure if the 1500 was run other years in Atlanta, but it may have been. Now if we could just get the men to make the switch… USATF Communications wrote: REGINA JACOBS: A favorite

Re: t-and-f: The 7th Hardest Thing to do in Sports

Without reading the interview or article, I'd offer that the *really* hard thing is running a fast marathon on the day you really need to run a fast marathon, like in the Olympics. There are so many things that can go wrong, that being able to not only put everything together, but to them

Re: t-and-f: The 7th Hardest Thing to do in Sports

Ok, this will obviously startsomething, but. . . running a low two hour marathon is easier than simply completing the tour de france? I don't think so. Now, I know that just completing the tour within the time limits is a great accomplishment, but far lesser athletes than your typical 2:08

Re: t-and-f: USATF Media Advisory: Olympic medalists, worldrecord holders to appear at USA Indoor Championships press conference

No way! Keep the mile! In fact, I say can the 1500 at all levels and replace it with the mile. I don't mind the 1,500 so much for women -- that 4-minute mark makes for a nice benchmark -- but we definitely need miles for men. Lee Not so. The women's 1500 was run in the 1999 Championships in

Re: t-and-f: USATF Media Advisory: Olympic medalists, world record holders to appear at USA Indoor Championships press conference

The biggest problem I have with the mile is that when someone runs a mile under 4:00 they actually begin to think they're good! When someone runs a 1500 under 3:30 they really are good. I really think that our fixation on the four minute mile has impeded the development of middle distance

t-and-f: Geb smashes 2 mile WR

Haile Gebrselassie smashes the world indoor two mile record with a devastating display at Norwich Union GP. The Ethiopian legend knocks an incredible five seconds off the old mark as he clocks 8mins 4.69secs in front of thousands of cheering fans at the National Indoor Arena.

or, more properly, WR 8:04.69 for 2M in Birmingham. Chops about 5 seconds off the old mark, but is still about 5 seconds short of the 3000 equivalent. gh

You just aren't supposed to run 8.04 for two miles with negative splits! One can imagine that in his 10k training sessions Haile aims for 6 x 1 mile reps at 4 minutes per rep with 30 seconds rest between reps. Or maybe that is old hat? Matthew Fraser Moat AW Subs offer:

Re: t-and-f: Geb smashes 2 mile WR

notable yes, incredible no. Conversions between 3000m and 2M are still voodoo science, to be sure, if you want 100th-second accuracy, but by no stretch of the imagination is this even an indoor PR for Geb, who has run 7:26 for the metric distance. Since the Africans took over distance running,

Timing for events beyond the 800 (or at least starting with the 1500) was to the fifth-second through at least the mid-'50s. John Landy's 3:58.0 WR in 1954 was actually a 3:57.9. Without checking rulebooks I'm not certain when the rule changed so that fifth-second timing pertained only to

that was a joke! Just being silly because the three times cited were 3:45.0, 3:44.0, 3:43.0. The 3:45.0, while ratified was 3:45.0, was actually a 3:44.9, using the rules change DJ cites. In a quick peek I can't find a specific citation for when the rule changed, but do find a WR as late as 1966

RE: t-and-f: Geb smashes 2 mile WR

It's a bit like the old 1,500m / Mile conundrum - it is amazing how many 3.41 1,500m runners just can't beat 4 minutes for the mile. For 3k specialists, I would estimate that about 7.23 for 3k was equivalent to 8 minutes for 2 miles. Geb's outdoor bests are only 7.25/8.01, times which he

Re: t-and-f: Geb smashes 2 mile WR

nah, there is no conundrum: in the old days (i.e., when more miles were run than 1500s) people were mentally buffaloed by the 4:00 figure and the pace scared them more than in the 1500, where they new they didn't have to go as far (even though it's so close). Reason for same phenomenon now is
