AM - 7 miles. Old Man Hills - 800, 400, 200 and 2x(400, 200). Tough but good workout. I tried to stay relaxed on these because it seems like I always tighten up on these. It worked pretty well and this was probably one of my better Old Man Hill days.

PM - 4 miles. 30 min easy. I came up to Salt Lake for the weekend so I ran up here around 5. I felt pretty good but nearly as fresh as yesterday. 

Controversial Topic of The Day - Who is the better American Runner, Steve Prefontaine or Galen Rupp (or who would win if they raced each other)? I think Galen Rupp is a much better runner. He has great form and a lot better than how they portray Prefontaine's form in the movies. Rupp is also a much smarter racer. He usually lets someone else lead for most of the race and then outkick them. Pre was a front runner and though it worked most of the time, he failed to medal in his only Olympic appearnace. Rupp would just have to sit on Pre for most of the race and then outkick him.

I'd say Rupp cause he broke the American 10k record at the Prefontaine Classic... I doubt Pre even ever ran at the Prefontaine Classic.

From Sage Ducote on Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 11:54:34 from 199.201.101.35

Definitely Pre. Rupp has access to all kinds of training equipment (eg Altitude masks, altitude tents, recovery equipment) that Pre didn't have, so he is basically handed his glory due to all the stuff he has access to. Pre had none of that, all he had was hard work and a killer mindset, which i think if he and galen were to race today, pre would recognze that and beat him, just because of his mentality.

If Galen Rupp encountered Steve Prefontaine on a starting line he would start sobbing, pee his nike split shorts, and be escorted off the track gently by Al Sal.

Salazar would then file a protest with USATF officials for allowing a dead guy to race.

Like Rob so delicately put.. Pre had guts.. I admire that the most in a runner.

From Hell Raiser on Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 16:28:30 from 174.23.192.40

No doubt Steve. Besides being way cooler, he was just like super cool and had an aura of coolness about him. Pre was way more cool, therefore, he would win no doubt.

Seriously, just seeing what you think and Preston's view makes me smh

Jake, you're okay! I so happy to hear from you! I just assumed you had died since you hadn't been to practice in days and the bros said you were still in town and I hadn't heard from you. I mean, I figure you wouldn't just DITCH practice, your team and your goals?

From The Warbeast on Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 18:39:32 from 64.255.92.184

Yeah Jake... I would never miss practice!

From Hell Raiser on Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 18:59:14 from 174.23.192.40

Oh snap jake the millipede

From Spencer Smith on Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 20:15:58 from 174.52.167.138

galen rupp would win. But EDWARD CHESEREK will have a better history in 10 years!

From Scott Sandberg on Fri, Mar 13, 2015 at 20:57:39 from 67.2.243.219

Rupp would take a PED-infused dump on Pre, but I would want Pre to win.

From Connor Baller on Sat, Mar 14, 2015 at 00:12:03 from 74.81.232.157

Thank you to everyone that said Steve Prefontaine. This is not even a question, Pre destroys galen. I love galen and he's incredible but Pre would go out at a good pace and then give everything he had at the end and Galen wouldn't be able to stay with him. Pre is so much more competitive, he would race till he died before he let Galen beat him. If Pre had the Oregon Project he would have way faster pr's... faster than galens
