Clayton Young ran an average 4:43 mile for 6.2 consecutive miles. It's crazy.

His last two laps was 2:03, ridiculous! (Unofficial split - eyeballed only)

I don't see what the big deal is. I can do that on a bike without really trying.

It just brings it closer to home for me when a white RM kid from Utah does it.

oh for sure. Jared Ward averages right at 5 on his PR pace

BlueFrog

Not exactly, at that pace marathon time would be 2 hrs 3.5 min

so just a bit slower than a few of the elite marathon records?

BlueFrog

Wow! I did not realize marathon record had dropped so low, you are right.

True, but it's a fact that road racing is faster than track racing

There isn't a consensus on the topic
