I don't necessarily agree with those who say that Alan Webb is done. I feel that he may have had a small dip in his running career. However, he has plenty of time to get back on his feet. He broke Steve Scott's American Mile Record shortly after I thought he was never going to do it. He may or may not break Hicham El Guerrouj's WR for the mile. If he does, I wouldn't be surprised, but if he doesn't, that's ok too. I'm older than him and I have hopes of breaking the Marathon WR.
@chuckmanofgod heyy, I'm going to run in the detroit free press marathon this upcoming october 17th.. there's just about exactly 3 months til the race.. any tips?
Moise Joseph ("The Pacesetter") was 2x Florida state cross country champion in high back the late 90s. He was one of the most impressive and consistent XC runners i had ever seen. It's sad that he never made it past the heats in the olympic games and is relegated to pacesetting work in the major meets.
Webb's career has been going downhill for 3 years. Now he's leaving his coach and moving to Oregon (big mistake). Webb is a perfect example of a high school burnout. His career actually "peaked" at the young age of 21. He will never win an Olympic gold or World Championship. He's done.
