Greg ...Greg is potentially a very good 400 runner. Greg is potentially an excellent 800 runner. He's fast, but not super fast. Take that speed and combine with a bit of endurance and you have the ingredients for wonderful middle distance accomplishments.<br /><br />My concern is that it is late in the game and he isn't going to have time to learn how to run the 800. Now, if he runs in college...Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920933013677812122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799499719291725575.post-17461167725396896712010-04-30T11:03:07.083-04:002010-04-30T11:03:07.083-04:00Oh, and I'm surprised Truce didn't say som...Oh, and I'm surprised Truce didn't say something about having Greg relax his face. That was his primary advice that I remember today. Great photo! Keep them coming!<br /><br />I vote for Binghamton dropping out of Division 1. Their runners (ther than the sub 4 guy) are really not that much better than we were, so I think they are out of their league.<br /><br />MarkSub 5 at 50 milerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900582942045454994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7799499719291725575.post-42152704951826387052010-04-30T11:01:32.912-04:002010-04-30T11:01:32.912-04:00Dave:

As for being a parent/coach, well, I don't want to get into that too much. If I were you, though, I would relax a bit, and let the head coach make the call. After all, it's only running, not life. The 4 x 800 (actually 4 x 880 in our day) was one of my favorite events in high school. Of course, I usually had to run it after doing the 2-mile, then only about 10 to 15 minutes rest before the 4 x 880 began. I was the anchor, so I got another 7 minutes extra rest or so!<br /><br />Let him try it!<br /><br />MarkSub 5 at 50 milerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09900582942045454994noreply@blogger.com
