Well sure, all of those skills declined once we became an agricultural society settled into small villages and had time for art and stuff.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

After his mile, Rupp did a 4 mile tempo in 18:41...

Pretty cool that we get this kind of access.

Seeing that 3:45 on the treadmill was pretty dang cool (obviously so was the whole video).

The ones at our rec center on campus will do 14.0(4:16) though to be honest running at those speeds on the treadmill scares the hell out of me. One misstep and it's pain city. Might be a little difference though if that was 25 seconds slower than mile pace :P

"If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a Board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough" If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death.

This weekend's 3000 is going to be awesome. Rupp v Gebremeskel v Gebrhiwet (18 yr old w/12:47 pr). I don't know who to pick between Rupp and Gebremeskel. Gebremeskel damn near beat Farah at the 5k, also has an insane time to his name (12:45) and has shown some beastly last laps off of both fast (54-55s in his 12:45) and slow paces.

I think Rupp is good enough now that he CAN win, especially if Gebremeskel doesn't come in 100% fit, but I'd still lean towards calling Gebremeskel the favorite. Gebrhiwet is obviously really fast as well, but not quite the same pedigree as the other two. If I remember correctly though he had some absurd drop last season from like 14 Tight lipped x to 12:47. If he keeps improving....

It all depends on who gets the timing of their doping right. /cynic

There is always that. T_T

Hopefully some point we'll get to where they just put some sort of monitoring device or probe inside you and constantly be able to check levels. That might be enough to put a stop to doping/specter of doping
