very interesting wonder what Boston Billys best mile was? Just my two cents but I think these young guys Hall etc (5000, 1500, milers)will do very well running world class marathon pace, think about it if they can produce that kind of raw speed, marathon pace should feel easy to'em. Alberto was a great marathoner because he could blister it on the track. How close did Ryan get to 4:00 at the MDF? Did he ever run a sub 4?
: As a high schooler, Ryan Hall ran at the Maine
: Distance Festival at Bowdoin.
: HS class of 2001, he was one of a few that
: was touted to break 4:00 for the mile as a
: scholastic runner, MDF to be one of his last
: chances. He ran a spirited race (and had a
: few other good 1500's on his east coast
: swing), but did not go sub 4, certainly a
: disappointment at the time.
: But, I think, the recent 1/2 marathon / long
: term results soften the missing out on the
: short term / HS result
