[4004mjsmith]

[chenstah346]

incredible, lagat has such perfect form, and he always looks so relaxed, almost as if he isnt trying at all. incredible.

[Irun95]

Lagat is a beast!

[Tommasini9]

Before the Brits arrived, a Kenyan family's worth was gaged by the # of cattle had... and accordingly, if you could steal another family's cattle, the richer for you were? Couple this with, the Rift Valley generally being located at high altitude, and the best cattle rustlers (an area that never had horses) being the men who had hip bones located normally where your 3rd rib resides! Long legged, fast running cattle rustlers.... The Brits introduced competitive running to end this habit.

[nateshoemaker1]

3:51.53 dam thats fast

[terrapatra]

[JoshMcRay]

[bjropel]

[khoa123451]

[nateshoemaker1]

@khoa123451 1

[louisisgod30]

@aznkid648 yea ok

[467076]

@aznkid648 Oh yeah im 13 and I fucked your mom.

[veridian1]

your a lankey prick

[pgaines72]

An extra tendon...thats funny. If you look at the typical Kenyan runner they have long legs with short upper body and very thin...perfect running anatomy.

[masterwec]

fuck u marabtich

[Kavikrunner]

Yeah their is nothing spechial that makes black people better at running. They are just really dedicated.

[mmcrunner12]

It's not because of money, it biological. all black people have an extra tendon in each leg. it makes them as a race much better at running then white people.( this doesnt mean that white individuals aren't great runners)

[wiremanart]

what tendon are you talking about lol - tyholdren pretty much nailed it down ^^

[jgxcmonkey]

idiot..

[phillipmagos]

why are the kenyans so dam fast?

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

probably because their country is poor, and the sport of distance running is cheaper than most other sports, which means a lot of people run in their country, so i'll bet it's a lot easier to find great talents like lagat.

[hsttom]

i dont get why this says pre calssic mile...

[metareborn]

the race is a tribute

[Opie852]

Kenyan's are crazyyyy

[atallen223]

that makes me tired just watching it

[prettystepover]

went out way too slow

[jaimesandoval1988]

The pace setter recked the race

[RedWallstreet1123]

HOLY SHIT 3:51:53 THATS A FAST TIME

[Dassin07]

why is it sooo necessary to bash other races ( no pun intended) on here, i bet you wouldnt say some racists ass shit like dat if you were confronted by a group of those individuals, so sont say it on here, go cut out a white blanket and go burn a fuckin cross or sumthin (no disrespect to the white people that arent posting negative shit on here).

[dnnsks]

I'm white and you are an angry idiot, seek help i don't know a counselor or something prozac maybe

[skryzalin]

Are you serious. Why, even after the whole cival rights movement do people continue to consider blacks and whites different. The winner win because he trained hard, thats it.

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

Why do they call it the Prefontaine Classic? It doesn't seem any different from the regular mile...

[SoloRunner01]

It's just the name of the race meeting. All miles are the same. How could it be different?

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

oh ok

[BrezHurley]

a mile is 1609 meters but on the track they call a mile 1600 meters... so there kinda is two miles.

[SoloRunner01]

no der isnt two miles. There is a 1mile race ok. All mile races i know of start at the point slightly behing the line the 1600m race isnt a mile race. And nowhere runs them because its not a mile.

[BrezHurley]

you need to work on coherent typing. I don't understand your reply at all. anyway, theres only one MILE race, but an actual mile is closer to 1609 meters. Google: "1609 meters to miles."

[SoloRunner01]

You cant understand my typing. What are you a retard or somthing? I know theres only one mile race your the idiot who was saying there was two. They dont call a mile 1600m because thats not a mile! Please show me races that start at that point as they arent actualy a mile. Unless you dont speak the english language and this isnt making sense to u then u can go fuck urself

[takatakawaka]

dude seriously your typing sucks ass learn to type

[SoloRunner01]

Go fuck urself u stupid twat

[jonathonpower6666]

what this solorunner fucker is trying to explain to you is that at the beginnig of a mile race the pack starts 9 meters behind the starting line so at the finish the race is made of 4 laps of the track and a little more (9 mts)

[HeshimaJameni]

The meet is named after a great American distance runner, Steve Prefontaine who died in a car accident.

[BattleRifle112]

Oh c'mon people, Webb just had a bad race. You can't compete against Kenyans anyways, they're just amazingly fast when they're born

[BrezHurley]

We're not in the 1940's anymore. So you better be kidding.

[bigtony240]
