Anyone watch it? Here are the results. Ryan Hall got third. I don't know if anyone understands running but these guys ran 26.2 miles each mile was at least 4:54. Pretty crazy.

Has to do with the thinner atmosphere, their lungs are better trained.

why are Kenyans and Ethiopians so damn fast? They grow up running. Americans grow up working and learning. Not to say they aren't educated but, most of them aren't. Their mileage is like 200+ per week. American Marathoners get like 150 per week.

We had a Kenyan runner come talk to the team and he said going to High School was like getting a Bachelor's degree there, you have to pay that much money and everything. PLUS, you can't get a loan. He said only the super rich went to High School.
