classic moments

My new race morning habit while I'm having coffee is browsing youtube to see how the elites do it. These are my favorite clips so far, and yes it is a predictable list:
1964, Billy Mills, 10000
1972, Dave Wottle, 800
Ovett beats Coe
Coe beats Ovett
Joanie   everyone underestimates her and she destroys them. Hard not to love that.
El Guerrouj vs Lagat   two middle distance gods in their prime. Enough said.

"Don't expect this to be too gentlemanly when it starts."
Finally, I can watch the Sydney 10000 over and over.

  1. They are so young in the "Joanie" clip. It's a great video.

    Thanks for the offer on the dog sitting but I think we have it covered. See you soon for some training I hope. I'm starting marathon training in less than 2weeks.
