I couldn't run a single five minute mile if you juiced my briefs with a thousand volts and promised me a million dollars. Basically any world class athlete makes it look so easy. The Chinese platform divers won gold and silver and I don't think they ever made a splash.Packchem91 said:dogplasma said:
Elliot Kipchoge wins the men's marathon for the second Olympics in a row. Dude ran a sub-five mile from 25 to 26. All the leaders average close to a five minute mile for the whole race. These guys are insane athletes. I'm in awe.
It's absurdly ridiculous. And really, it's difficult to appreciate how fast they are running on open streets. If they were instead on a track, at a 4:50 mile, you'd see how much they are hoofing it to make that pace.
I can't even begin to imagine how those guys get to the point of doing 26 miles like that (I'd be impressed with one mile like that!!)
Appreciate that. I like all of you. Someday maybe can enjoy a glass of tea togethercaryking said:Hey Glass... we give you all kinds of crap; but, we still like you...Glasswolf said:

My last year of high school cross country I managed a 5:10 mile. But once you start stretching that out to 3+ miles, times drop sharply.dogplasma said:I couldn't run a single five minute mile if you juiced my briefs with a thousand volts and promised me a million dollars.

5:10 is damn near superhuman as far as I'm concerned. What planet are you from originally?IseWolf22 said:My last year of high school cross country I managed a 5:10 mile.

Keeping that pace up for 26 is absolutely insane.

Awesome. Good on the town to honor him. Hopefully, he'll get that next run and more gold.Tootie4Pack said:PackFansXL said:

No tie last night.
People sometimes forget that he also won the NCAA T&F Outdoor 440 championship this Spring too.
