You won the 10K race overall? That's something I've still never done... multiple each of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishes though. |

Aha, I read that on Twitter as well. There was, of course, a lot of over-speculation... It's definitely looking hopeful now that he'll continue. |

Nice! How are your splits now for the mile? I remember, I used to feel kind of like you did in the mile... People would often complement me on how fast my finishing kick was, when in reality I felt ... |

I think it's good to do a short easy run the day before a meet, to keep the legs loose (and a few strides, too, although you can do those 2 days before instead). Sometimes I feel sharper if I run the ... |

So, Geb is running the Dubai Marathon again next Friday... Is there any chance he'll still have a shot at the world record? At 36, his fast marathons have to be numbered...
