i think worse then the mullet would be those tight green shorts that are exposing a bit too much of this young lad. i think converted times are also bogus. i mean if i convert my 1 mile pr with some math it may tell me that i could run a 2:45 marathon, but that doesn’t mean that i actually could do it or even earned it for that matter. but thats a drastic example i suppose, and this dude is actually a decent runner and not a recreational runner like myself.
Mad Len (Ciaran) is a really cool dude and the mullet is part of his personality. He owns it and that makes it even more awesome. I used to rock a killer mullet myself back in the late 80’s/early 90’s (when it was more socially acceptable to sport one).
As far as barriers, the first big one for me was running under 5 minutes in the mile. Later running sub 15 for 3 miles and averaging sub 6 minute miles for the marathon were big accomplishments. I never fooled myself into ever thinking I had a chance at being a sub 4 minute miler. That’s mostly genetics and I wasn’t built for it.
cranky!! ya, i was hoping that if he had enough spunk to sport the mullet he was a cool dude. that said, uhhh, i want to see some of those pix of u rocking the mullet! 🙂 ya, i still get a kick out of the pix my dad has of his…haha.
i have to agree that all of those barriers u busted are awesome! i think the marathon one in particular…don’t poo-poo urself u’ve capitalized on that cranky DNA! 🙂
he’d be hot if it weren’t for the mullet! 😛 In any case, converting times…for the 1600 to mile and 3200 to 2 mile, sure, but 1500 to a mile…eh, maybe not so much. In any case, you can’t really convert a 5k to a 10k or a HM to a full right? Who knows. Anyways I’d love to some day break 18:00 for the 5k, 35:00 for the 10k (I’m clearly not so great at the shorter distances hah), 1:15 for the HM and 2:45 for the full! now I want to go out and train, hah.
no, there really isn’t any converting between the 5k or longer distances…those ones are run usually at the same distance all the time. but it would be funny if some tried to take their mile time and convert it to like a marathon….hehe. 🙂

hahaha….good call! wow, i just had a flashback to a time i watched a guy run a whole 5k in a unitard…scary!!!
