Interesting ... as it means that he is likely running 10-12 times a week, not 3X a day that is often rumored as the reason that the world's best are so good. 10-12 runs/week X 20 km/run = 200-240 km per week -Original Message- From: B. Kunnath [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:

No seperate start for men and women. When asked about her relatively slow start at the post-race press conference, Ndereba said she simply missed the first two mile markers and thought she was running faster than she was. She did see mile 3 (17:11) which was only about 2:30 pace so she quickly

It was a real treat to see Ritzenhiem in his first race as a freshman. He handled the course very well and although, according to the newspaper, he was instructed to keep his effort at 90%, his stride lengthened toward the later stages of the race and he looked to be giving more than 90%. Also
