Great stuff!
: 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
