World Cross Country

How did you fit soooo much bullshit into one post??

So clean as a whistle Seb was capable of running a world record over every distance 800m up. Faster even than a talented, juiced up Ethiopian?

Maybe its you thats on something....

On the way to the loop today we were talking about races and the Frodsham race came up, the guy I was travelling with even said Coe ran it but the best time is held by ricky wilde? Guess that can be easily checked, just funny this race came up in chat today

Harrymoon I didn't make myself clear.Seb held the youth record, not the senior record.I don't know whether he ran it more than once, i'll check with my team manager today.

I was just giving some evidence of Coe's ability over distances greater than 800m and 1500m.

Tough race Frodsham.To get to the top road section the runners had to climb a rock face.I have vague recollections of pulling myself up on tree branches.

Track fairy do you want to discuss the issues at hand, or do you want to trade insults?Okay insults first. You're resorting to whims instead of facts, but with a name like Track Fairy that isn't surprising.

Why couldn't coe have broken or been close to every world record from 800m-10000m in his day?Is it impossible to excel at every distance from 800m to 10000m? If so how do you account for Said Aouita?

By the way I never said he could run faster than a juiced up Ethiopian or Kenyan.If he could some of his world records would stand today!

What facts do you have that Haille Gebreselassie uses 'potions' to achieve his performances?

Thank you, I appreciate that

Who could you possibly be talking about .... not the person who after having a 'go' at Track Fairy about facts and insults has not even bothered to respond to XRunner's post. If this is the case you must remember that all that is uttered by this person is fact and should be taken as such or maybe it's because there is absolutely no response possible to XRunners post or possibly he's off somewhere else spoiling a perfectly good thread .... I'll let you decide.

At the same time as running world class 800 and 1500m times? In training? at night? in sheffield?

I think that we should be asking why we SHOULD believe it rather than why we shouldn't!
