When I posted national depth summaries on the steeplechase, with Kenya having 18 runners and USA 15 in the top 100, I noted: " . . .it doesn't seem to me that the United States should rank so closely. That becomes apparent in the highest-ranked U.S. representative (Tony Cosey) standing only at

But Garry(comma) anyone who follows the sport is familiar with the 1500, and its times. El G' is not famous for his blazing 3:42, he is famous for his unreal 3:26.00. When we are watching the OG we are sated with "the metric mile" 1500 m. But we are discussing a distance that is rarely run

Re: t-and-f: El G - 8:09.89 - near WR for 2 miles (anotherimperialrace)

1500m and 5000m exist because they are fairly "round" numbers and are the closest "round" numbers to the 1 mile, 3 mile, and 6 mile events that have been run since at least sometime in the 19th century. Yes, I agree that 1500m is only slightly more round than 1600m, but at this point with
