This is Fast! (Updated)


Rotterdam Marathon -- and, no, this is not a 4-armed or 3-legged Kenyan! Kibet and Kwambai finished one-two and were recorded with the same finishing time. If I'm right about the names, two other Kenyans finished 3rd and 4th: Kirui at 2:05:04 (fastest 3rd place finish) and Makau at 2:06:14 (2nd fastest debut marathon). (Update: I was right. See the next post for details.)

Ryan Hall has his work cut out for him!

Run well, y'all (and remember that fast is relative),

    Hi Bob.

    Thanks for the good feedback about the Getting Faster series. It means a lot coming from you.

    I've spent a long time trying to understand and apply the principles of speedwork, and made lots of mistakes and a few breakthroughs along the way.

    Would appreciate any other feedback re: how to make the articles more meaningful--shorter? better examples? less technical?

    Thanks again and keep up your great running and bloggin--and have a blessed Easter!
