It takes a little time but you do become accustom to altitude. I'm surprised more distance runners don't train at altitude. Flagstaff isn't the best place because all of the roadways being very narrow with no shoulders. It's dangerous. My mother offered a prepaid trip to Hawaii if I would do the Ironman, but I couldn't train in Flagstaff.
incredibly i think geordie runs it perfectly but ollie made a mistake he tries to pass too early right at the bell if he waits till the last 50 60 meters he saves prolly 1 or 2 meters and is able to accelerate later on
Championship races often times go slow. There is no incentive to run a fast time, there are not rabbits, leading the race(setting the pace) is a bit of a disadvantage as the runners behind get to draft off you.
@@NCAAChampionships Thanks digital media team. Also, if you want to keep some SEO value to your RU-vid videos, you can phrase your titles like, "Men's Mile - 2019 NCAA Indoor Track & Field: McDonald, Fisher & Etc Battle to the End." So you're still getting good search crawls, but without the spoilers. Just be sure to tag everyone else in the comments and mention their names because I've noticed you're video descriptions are a little lacking. But otherwise good job! (P.S. Reach out to me if you need some assistance. :-) Cheers everyone.
In this metric age, the Mile Run is still a classic race. Indoor is so interesting, with the banked, shorter track - a different race with subtle skills. I loved it in high school because the fans and energy were right on top of you. Gotta love the commentary of all-timer Dwight Stones. Go Lumberjacks!
Amazing tactical race. I was a decent miler in HS, running in the 4:30's. Sure wish I could have run some indoor stuff in college. I was just too slow. Or run a straight away mile like the 5th Ave mile. Great race boys.
DJP NZ certainly do ( believe it or not nobody cares about cross country skiing)and pretty sure he didn’t mention Norway in that comment. Don’t know why you feel so insecure you need to make that comment.
DJP So we are just talking about athletics? That’s extremely anecdotal NZ had 4 medals in athletics the last Olympics Norway had zero. Warholm is impressive no doubt but it would be like me saying I don’t see any Norwegians beating Eliza McCartney, Tom Walsh or Valerie Adams. Or even no Norwegians bet Beamish here.
This is how you take the lead and absolutely refuse to give it up. I thought the Wisconsin kid was going to blow by him on the backstretch, but Beamish wouldn't let it happen.
I watched Ben Blankenship set the Minnesota High School state mile record of 4:08, I believe, when I went to the state meet on a 4x400 my sophomore year. He ended up participating in the olympics and that was absolutely amazing to see. He used to blow people away and pound out 2 miles in around 9 minutes 😳 yet, could run a 49 split 400
To give more space at the start. If they all started in the same spot ther wouldent be room. The people who started ahead had to stay in the outside lane for the first lap which makes them go the same distance and the pack is more spaced out by then which gives them room to combine.
Why do Dwight and the other guy keep calling Ollie Hoare “Hawar.” Were they afraid of saying a homonym that rhymes with “whore” or they just didn’t know?
You mean the pace those guys were going at were faster than your pace at 100m? Cause if it takes you 4 minutes to even WALK 100 meters than well "Houston we have a problem!"
Oliver Hoare had a way harder race because he had to spring up starting out, then catapulted into striking range to stay contending. I think he dropped the hammer on the last two laps, but if he had rode it easy not sprinting all that race to stay on the first few's backs he could have easily out kicked the Kiwi.
Everyone in this has either ran faster than that or ran a converted time faster than it. The reason the only ran 4:07 is because it’s a tactical championship race where they go out slow and close insanely fast
