So with that guy's attitude we'd never play a tennis match because we can't play at Wimbledon.
I love it that so many are working so hard at running. Think of all the "couch potatoes" who are now living longer, healthier lives because of people like Oprah out there promoting running. In the Nova Marathon episode almost every runner got up to "Superior" for their VO2 Max. It improved because of distance training, not fast training.
McClelland might have an argument if we all wanted to be considered "elite". The elite runners get their own starts and exclusive area. That should be enough for those who want to feel special. I actually feel special enough because those who have run marathons are still an exclusive group of only .1% of Americans!
All that said, I would still love to qualify for Boston one day. ; )
