Alan Webb on Letterman

[TheMachanga]

I'm in 7th grade and I run a 4:17

[milesthekirts]

@TheMachanga that actually made me laugh out loud

[fastmover564]

@TheMachanga so you're an Olympic world champion in your age group... wait so you also have a world age group record by over 1 minute? ok sure dude

[TheMachanga]

@fastmover564 yea, I'm not doing track this year tho, gotta focus on football

[kozmon0t]

the prep record should be from prep races. You shouldn't get the world record holder as a rabbit.

For that matter, I'd like to see a list of WR's for races without rabbits. That would be real interesting.

[G4m3r4lif3mw2]

dang i can barely run over 1:00 minute 400 m and trying hard

[linglingis18]

Well the seasons over i ran a 4:30 flat 1500 so it would be mid 4:40s but yeah posting times on you tube is super pointless because half the people just say omg fag cock balls bitch fuck

[CG30563]

"That's the idea" hahahahahah

[phantomofthedrivein]

what's the american record? it must be under 3;53, he didn't break the highschool and american record at the same time

[autorack1]

@phantomofthedrivein he ran 3:46 in 2007 which is the AR

[linglingjr]

his mile time was 4:23 as a freshmen? ahhh mine is 4:35 to 4:40 ish and im a fresh men

[bshemonia10]

@linglingjr who cares



[heresjohnnnyy1]

@linglingjr I think that if you are so arrogant that you are posting this on youtube, you would know your ACTUAL mile time as a freshman. Lying bitch.

[loudmusicman4]

"at least I didnt call you Jay"

[anUHkins]

this would be a great interview if letterman knew anything about track lol

[UItimatesnake]

Hai guys,

I run a 3:00 mile and I'm only a 5th grader!

NO REALLY SHUT THE FUCK UP! WE KNOW YOU'RE LYING!

[MIdnightx4]

SOUTH LAKES BITTIES

[abuj1]

at my school we don't really receive any recognition for running (we were state champs and barely anything was said about it) so it makes me really happy to have runners recognized in public

[sanitary103]

What is Webb's PR in the mile? just curious

[no3ggs4u]

@sanitary103 3:46 i think

[BloodyHowlingX]

@sanitary103 3:46.91

[iflyboats]

he's bored and doesn't care anymore

[SpeedyManny]

imma freshman i run 4.48.5 i got some work to do

[volunteernation16]

@SpeedyManny bs.

[MrMisterSalt]

what year was this?

[scallstar805]

i know he's a great runner and all, but whats with the double chin and 1:47??

[terrapatra]

i run a mile in 20 minutes, im one of the best runners ever

[oxfordkingpin24]

letterman knows nothing about the mile lol

[rockinsurfkid]

a 4:23 as a freshmen???? holy shit. im a freshmen and i only have a 4:56 hahaha

[TitoDaTuba]

@rockinsurfkid 1500m...

[rockinsurfkid]

@TitoDaTuba makes more sense. my time is for 1600m

[memgrizz1132225033]

@rockinsurfkid man, im a sophomore and mine is only 5:35

[rockinsurfkid]

@memgrizz1132225033 there is a sophmore... edward cheserek who has a 4:09. i have a 4:48 now but jeez there are some phenoms out there

[memgrizz1132225033]

@rockinsurfkid you are really fast, but man, you sure arent making me feel any better about my times. haha, just kidding

[bshemonia10]

@rockinsurfkid He just ran a 4:02 two months ago and almost went sub 14. But he is from kenya.........go figure

[MikeDunn]

Turning over cars???? What the hell is he talking about?

[TheBheuberger]

@MikeDunn its called a joke.

[MikeDunn]

@TheBheuberger - no shit it's a joke. I'm saying I didn't get the joke.

[xxxDAPROBLEMxxx]

haha hes funny. two wives lololol. 2nd best american miler ever? (jim ryun) fails to show up on the big stage though....

[RealElvishRope]

"at least i didn't call you Jay".. lol!

[tylergenis]

what he said with the whole sprint with a distance mix...omg that is the worst kind of training

[classicrunch]

...I ran a 3:19 mile and I'm 6 years old...

[viperdude281]

nice dude

[LordJasonGarfield]

U

R

Wrong!

[bzman149]

well im running 3:44 in the mile and im only a freshman

[LordJasonGarfield]

U R wrong!

[meetkinggarrett]

hey mjp589544 i ran a 4:46 too as a freshemen. i wish u would go to my school so it would be ealy good competition between us

[mjp589544]

ya it would be. theres an enormous gap from our number 1 to me than our number 3, its really dumb

[dsammak]

i didnt know jerry seinfeld ran track

[mamowolde]

Okay, i beat Webb at the Carlsbad 5000m.. No can i talk some shit?

[mjp589544]

no offense but can you prove it?

[Lazer2741]

Dvaid Letterman come on Alan you're better than that

[riley27489]

what year did he break the high school record?

[BobBobGobGob]

2001

[Adamlikesguys]

Hahah, this kid is fucking hilarious, very funny and witty!

[applesaz]

wow he ran a 4.23 as a freshman.

im running the varsity mile relay cuz 2 kids scrathced and i only run a 5.23

[mjp589544]

im running a 4:46 as a freshman, but man ill never get that fast, even as a senior

[h1imhzq]

yes you can lol

[MuffinFace220]

@mjp589544 that's the attitude!

[Zking22]

Webb had a great meet at the Drake Relays. only a 4 flat but still good non the less

[enderthegreat]

are you kidding? he's choked every race from 2008-2009 alan webb officially takes it up the butt

[thefallen2124]

When you beat him enderthegreat then you can talk shit about him.

[enderthegreat]

dont get me wrong he used to be great but now he just sucks you cant argue that man.

[thefallen2124]

I'm just saying when you beat him, let the shit talking begin, I'm not trying to be an asshole but alot of people talk shit when they can't do it themselves.

[enderthegreat]

ya.

ya alan webb kills when you compare him to any high school runner, but he was so good and then all of a sudden started running some slow times (compared to his best) i hope he makes a comeback but idk, he's really off these days

[snowboardman720]

i agree with enderthegreat. didnt live up to what everyone thought he would. but still a great runner.

[skiffyboy]

wat song was that they played when he came in?

[asfreshasjerseygets]

everclear -- everything to everyone

[cfedr33]

"One Hit Wonder" by everclear

It's the song Alan Webb listened to before his races.

[deucecued]

tiller ia a bitch we were runnin on oakton's track and he starts fuckin yellin at us and he called our coach. what a prick

[conspicuousjim]

how about running 3:46.91 as a pro? Broke the

American Record. I doubt he will ever break the world record. At 25 years old he will never drop another 3.5 seconds. He is just too old to talk about dropping that much. There is a reason why Hicham El Guerrouj is called "the king". Sadly Webb will never break it. I wish he would because I support Americans.

[xcdemon05]

dude....25 is peak performance time. if anything, its most likely that he'll drop the most time when he's at this age.

[mamowolde]

I think this guy might be right! Alan probably hadnt started using those steroids yet!lol

[farhan00]

I went to Oakton High School, he went to South Lakes. He used to CRUSH our runners, and our runners were the 2nd best in the state.

I think I beat him once in a race, but only cuz he wasn't trying :-)

[mamowolde]

Hmmm, Alan Webb was losing is hair in High school, but has a full mane now? Dont steriods make you loose your hair? Dont steriods make your forehead extra big an stuff? Dont steroids make your biceps so inflated you cant wipe your ass?

Shouldnt Webb be on the Tyra show too, for how soft he is when it comes to racing?

[militaryhistorian67]

Ur a real fucking asshole. I'm betting ur in a powerchair

[msy1500]

wanking and awful - you sad yank twats - middle distance and usa dont go togather. your best for years was jeff atkinson anmd bearded bob, your athletics is summed up by marion jones et al - thats why you aint doing the bizz till you find another doctor to do the bizz for you lot. alan webb - didnt take drugs eah no doubt - 2 feet tall and as much talant as a dodo - bet you two are jumped up little club wanna be shite joggers in rose tinted oakley glasses.

[2mileking]

Tinted Nikes

But I figure a 4:17 mile as a junior isnt bad.

Nor is my 1:54 800.

[msy1500]

cor your pretty good

[msy1500]

amazing how the yanks make a big deal of kids running quick - notice the yanks arnt doing so well since the drug testing has improved. maybe a coincidence?

[2mileking]

uhm.... Most medals in the olympics, check it.

[2mileking]

I know, I said "Nor was he 18 when this was taken" referring to Lagat, I know that Webb was 18

[2mileking]

alan webb didn't qualify for the olympics but you know what, he is the single most talented miler in the USA. He broke the American record this year btw. and he even interviewed and said, I was too confident. I let myself get to far back.

[msy1500]

amazing this guy has done nothing but they interview him on letterman. they should interview lagat - a winner

[2mileking]

Lagat doesnt hold the American Record.

Nor was he 18 when this was taken.

Nor did he run a 3:53 at age 18.

[msy1500]

alan webb is another overrated yank- the us of a have been despo to fill jim ryan spikes for years - lagat is the the man by a distance - gutted that webbo aint racing this year at the games and iam sure he has his reason and i doubt they are injuries reasons.

[Raimakusa]

My one mile time consists of certain digits :o

wut?

[ratliff2006]

Maybe he should have spent less time on Letterman. Turns out he didn't qualify for the Olympics.

[insidejokr]

at least he didn't call him "Jay."

[jasonxcbball]

haha webb is sweet. letterman doesnt know crap about track which i kinda find funny

[ultralight9]

@jasonxcbball david also dont know Crap about politics. ..just saying.

[joesatriani15]

honestly, idk why you guys post your times up here. no one gives a shit. and before you pull out the "thats probably because you suck at running" excuse, i'm a class 4A state champion

[jibjorb]

oh yeah well i happen to be a class 16A state champion so you can suck on my dang-a-lang

[joesatriani15]

class 16A state champion....in sucking ass.

nice.

could never hope to suck as much ass as you in my life. it's an honor lol

[2mileking]

1a/2a, 3a,4a,5a, very rarely 6a. there is no 16a. Thatd be a school of like... 10,000 kids. Stupid... 4a is a hard division.

[rallin21]

oh there is 16a. i go the his school and there are 100,000 kids. he is super good.

[rallin21]

to**

[LeanaJo76]

My best time in the mile was 5:30. Not bad for a girl who was a Sophomore and my first timed mile ever (I had ran it before, but I was getting in shape and started when I was in 8th grade)...

[Kavikrunner]

Haha i love Webb he is hilarious!

[Daltonglenn]

i did not run the mile till i was a sophmore, i ran sprints and hurdles before that. MY SOPH TIME WAS 4:50. amazing what this guy can do.

[Daltonglenn]

my best time was 4:33 in high school. Man was that fast!

[KoowlVids]

5:48 and eleven

hope to be as good as webb and el guerrouj

[Brandonlcosta]

If these are seriously everyone's times, I'm terrible compared to you guys.

[soren4]

lol dang im a freshman and got a 4:29. 6 sec off

[xCannibalPanda]

4:23 freshman time?? wow. i just ran a 4:23 in the mile as a junior. wow. amazing.

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

4:23 in freshman year..... im going into high school next year and my best mile time is 6:14even though I'm pretty sure i can go under 6, im still kind of worried. I want to be a pro when i grow up, but he ran that fast when he was just a lil older than me, what if i cant make it?! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH­HHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[indexmuscle]

dont give up... idk where your from but here in michigan the freshman run around 4:45's(like me and abunch of freshman from rival schools)

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

oh i never said i was giving up. i never give up. hence the name "getupandtryagain" :D just a lil worried that i might not be able to run as fast as him.

[Joghobs]

sound kind of like my PR's.

Came out for track in Soph year 5:02, junior year 4:28, I'm a senior now and made 4:21 happen so far, year isn't quite over yet either.

[rebiakaiber]

dude i ran 6:20 frosh year. soph year i ran 4:35 junior year i was injured and senior year i ran 4:19.... so dont give up, you can run faster then 4:40's in less then a year.

[GetUpAndTryAgain]

im not giving up i just overreacted thanks for the encouragement though

[MayhemGaming]

I watched Alan Webb run at Drake Relays and he makes it look so easy. He's a great person and even better runner.

[what1414]

Alan rules!

[weemackee]

He could be the next Pre.

[TheNextPre2010]

he is the next pre..in the mile... not the 5000

[cyclerun]

Alan Webb is awesome

[Liz10guzman]

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[cucu2012]

EPO

[Therunner24]

it takes me 10 minutes to take a piss cause i cant make it to the bathroom HAHA

[LightSpeed99999]

That was rich

[CE818]

LOL! funny clip

[zestCC]

ha ha!

[galileo30]

you're technically allowed to use blocks, Webb explains this so why are you freaking out about letterman's question....?

[titytots17]

fucking letterman is so stupid use blocks wtf hes not doing a 200m what a jackass

[soccer704]

i agree

[hollyisfabulous]

freaking crap.

i love alan webb!

[okonh0wp]

He seems so rehearsed. I've met the guy in real life, he's cool, though.

[okonh0wp]

why does david letterman's audience traditionally laugh at the wrong moments.

"so you get better in this sport as you get more mature?"

"that's the idea"

[laughter}

there was nothing funny about that situation. dumb audience

[showzinone]

your stupid ... its funny cuz hes making fun of letterman... your dumb

[okonh0wp]

oh i see, ok, that makes sense

[stopher03042]

has he gotten tested?

not accusing him of roids, just saying around where i live all kids in sports get mandatory drug tests like every 5 months

[Stormin4815]

Letterman obviously doesn't know much about track or cross country, but at least he didn't ask stupid question like most people do.

[aevns7]

i ran a 5 minute mile lol, i could take webb anyday, haha id be halfway done when hes at 7/11 getting a slurpie

[BlackRainGraffiti]

Fuck me thats some scary shit. Is that normal...NOoooo!

FREAK LOL...

[Krooft]

alan webb has a large head

[tesfalidet]

funny thing is i have beaten alan webb's brother before by a seconed in the mile. i beat him infront of alan webb even tough we both did not get first place. Vienna, VA NOrthern Virginia Invitational.

[tigers11111]

Alan seems like a nice guy.

[Punisher2all]

damn the audience is dumb, they can't just laugh, they have to clap for everything and interrupt the conversation

[goateater123]

yeah, the audience is dumb! =C

[twolapper]

Dear (!!!)XMAN34512 your bro run the km and he might thought it was the mile.Otherwise he is from another planet!

[heesendr]

Just another opportunity for Letterman to display his ignorance.  He does it with the musical prodigies, too.

[Jazzguitar00]

I really hope anybody who writes ignorant things saying that they can do better than track stars is joking, or 12 years old.

[angryutuber001]

Im not sure if he can break the world record. It'll be a while until El Guerrouj will be dethroned.

[XMAN34512]

he is good but if my bro wanted 2 he could beat him he ran a 4:03.43 in football practice in 110+ heat he doesn't even do track

[andrewman99]

thats obviously a joke, right?

[ronaada]

Your brother is pulling your chain, or he doesn't know what he is talking about. Every group of basketball/football players believes that if they tried they could run faster than the track guys. If that makes themselves feel better, then let them believe it.

[westasics]

good call, yeah that guys bro is def. full of it.

[caulen]

his brother prolly ran 4 laps back and forth on the football field in 4:03 lol

[ronaada]

You're probably right. I was thinking maybe he lost count and ran three instead of four laps, but it would be shockingly fast for a football player to run a 1200 in 4:03.

[myucatan]

If your brother, without training for a 1600, can go out and run a 4:03 then he is in the wrong sport. If he is in high school and can TRUELY, run a 4:03 then he could just about have his pick of universities. My real guess is he can not even get close to 4 minutes, you have no idea how hard that is and how few really can get there.

[Jrex76]

GO PRO NOW! WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

[metallic219]

i love how most of the audience doesn't know what he's talking about half the time. but us runners know everything hes saying

[Dannalicicity]

true dat

[okonh0wp]

why does the audience laugh and clap at wierd moments like "you get better as you get more mature don't you?", "did you start getting fan mail from Europe?"

Neither of those things should provoke laughter but the Dave Letterman audience laughs a lot. Anyway, I've met this guy and my friends ran with him in HS, he's cool

[bennyboy162]

at least i diddnt call you Jay. hahah good one

[LaxPandemonium]

Did you call me dog? hahaha, Alan's the man.

[PikePounder]

"At a track meet it takes me ten minutes to go and take a piss." Hahahahaha!!!

Great interview.

[loginreda]

hahaha funny guy.

[pstupid22]

This is great

[4dOp]

Letterdude sucks.

[Utoobhasbestfreeporn]

he appears to be an outstanding young man!

[lisgorocks]

david letterman is a smuk!

[emenius1sleepus]

110%

[andrewman99]

hes so nervous!
