i've tried to break a 7 minute mile, and i can't get my legs moving fast enough. i do 10-15 miles / week, so it's not as if i just sit around. he's very impressive.

I think those of us that follow American distance running are about to enjoy a pretty exciting period of running. I can see Ryan Hall taking bronze in Beijing, and possibly even silver. Dathan Ritzenhein is also an excellent runner, and they're both very young. They've basically been competing against each other since high school, so that should be a fun rivalry to watch.
