19 year olds are stronger than 15 year olds ... and 23 year olds are
stronger than 19 year olds.  If England and Ireland are chock-full of
4:12'ers at 15 years old ... how come there aren't boatloads of 3:35 guys?

After all, the U.S.'s last few supermilers were NOT 4:12 level at such a
young age.

Hall  4:22 1600   10th
Webb  4:23 1600 9th     (4:06 in 10th)
Ritz  4:25 1600   9th     (4:14 in 10th)
Sage  4:16 1600 9th

Either we are doing something really right, or these 15 year olds are
developing horribly.

He's actually better at walking. I may be mistaken but 4:12 is only
about 3:54 for 1500???? Thats not world record breaking stuff. There are
quite a few 15 year old in Ireland and Britain of that standard, but
then again if he actually trained for running....who knows?????

Tell him to quit walking, and try to be the next Eamonn Coghlan.  That
is,
unless he is setting World-age records in walking also.

A 15-year old runner who can run 4:12, has a great chance at being an
internationalist.
