Woah! That's 3.1 miles at a 4:03 pace!

I'm glad Webb has finally got it together. It must be a
black art to get into top-of-the-world shape.

He was doing poorly awhile ago, what changed?

What about his buddy who ran the last 5000 of his 10000 in
12:46? that's pretty good isn't it?

Theres an interesting book "Sub 4:00" about Webbs
disappointing years at UM. Gives insight into Olympic
class training programs. Glad to see he is emerging from
his setbacks.

That is a huge run from Webb and Bekele of course! Not bad
from Kipchoge to win the 1500m too as how old is he? 19?

Well, get this.... He ran through 3K in 7:37. AND THEN: He
runs the last 2K in 5:00. That's FIVE LAPS of 60.00 AFTER he
ran a world class 3000!

He might not be in top shape yet. He lost to a 3:26 guy by
0.18 sec. We'll get a better idea at Bislett in 2 weeks.

Quoted message said:

Webb's view, in an interview published a few days ago, is
consistent training. Established location, same coach, etc.
He got over the injury problems he had at Michigan.
Personally, I'd love to hear about his training, but
they're (Webb and his coach) not talking as far as I know
(shades of Aouita?).

Webb also had an appendix out last year. That will
mess you up.

Good run by him. "Lyndon" <[email hidden]> wrote in
