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.

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

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. |
