first woman to win a 4,200-mile race from oregon to virginia. took her 18 days, averaging 235 miles per day on 3-5 hours of sleep per night. oh and it's an unsupported race.

 

The runner-up, Steffen Streich, asked in the last 100 miles if you wanted to finish the race together. How do you feel about that?

Obviously he was hurting, and he was worn out, and he’d made some mental errors. He was kind of at the end of his line. For me the exciting part is that we got to race to the finish—I thought it was pretty awesome that we’re both in same region of the last 100 miles of the race, of an over 4,000 mile race. So I thought “No way! I’m not giving up this chance. This is like, the moment of the race. This is the pivotal point.” So I just told him that I wasn’t going to do that. Which is fair! I mean, it’s a race. That’s the point.

Man that video is depressing... PH had so much potential... But hasn't been able to get along with his teammates well enough to do well in the NFL.  Could be such a true offensive weapon, return game, receiver, running the reverse, split end, just everything...  I always feel like the guys with the burst speed who look semi-fast but don't have the top-speed track gait always make the best football players...  It's like if you can run fast without knowing how to run and without having learned to maximize stride length... Then you just can't be tackled and you can adjust so many more times...

Definitely. Even the guys who look semi-fast in the NFL are absolutely flying and probably running high 10s at worst. A player with explosiveness, agility, and lateral speed will always be better than a player with good acceleration and great top speed.

Eh... I've trained a few of them and I wouldn't bet on high tens for a lot of them... Low elevens yes.  There is a big difference between could run 10.xx with training and would run 10.xx right now...

If I had to bet I would say a lot of the younger guys would be 10.5-10.9.  But you would be surprised by how much specificity sets in after a few years... The vets that have been in the league for 5+ years... Bet their 100m times would be surprisingly slow which is really a good thing as they move away from the silly 40yd dash and static starts... It's almost like your specific speed becomes so amazing that you lose every other capability...

I bet if you did a vet combine every test would be won by guys on the practice squad!
