Default Will we ever see an American winner in Boston again?

Are the days of Bill Rodgers and Alberto Salazar over forever.

I think Ryan Hall could be the guy to do it. He ran a 2:06 in London 2 weeks ago.

If Ryan Hall can't do it, it isn't going to happen anytime soon.

2:06?

Are we going to see a sub-two hour marathon in the near future?

I would say no. They may never do it. Of course I would have been one of those people that said you would die if you ran a mile under 4:00. I know I would die if I did it.

They would have to average a 4:34 min/mile pace.

That's an excellent question.

If nutritional conditions were ever to improve in Africa so that people were properly nourished right from birth, I can see it happening. Of course, it could also be that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Maybe it's because they are so skinny that that can run that fast. With our looming food crisis here in the states we may become faster ourselves.
