It is a passed down tradition from other footballers before them. And their teammates run after them anyway right?

Well you should ask your doctor first about the appropriateness of running first. Yes, walking is not as exciting, but it is the way to start out. if you travel a lot, you have great opportunity to walk in places that most of us never get to see...\n\nThe best walking shoe is whatever is most comfortable for you.  Good luck.

Smiddy wasn't born, but the depiction of both runners, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell in the film Chariots of Fire was very inspiring to Smiddy... at almost every level. The contrast between the two men, driven to excel for their own very personal reasons - it's an almost perfect dichotomy - and Smiddy can identify with them both and is doubly inspired every time he watches that film.\n\nBTW, I liked your answer to my fake Yahoo featured questions question. Smiddy doesn't think your running questions are in the least bit silly. Have a great day!

Slow and steady wins the race--- the only thing I can think of is that the slowest runner had much more stamina than Yoshi. Yoshi must have had the least amount of stamina in his class.

Very difficult to break it down to one single event so, I'll give you my top 10 in order of peference:\n\n10.  Edwin Moses, who won gold medals in the 400-meter hurdles at the 1976 and 1984 Summer Olympics. Between 1977 and 1987, Moses won 107 consecutive finals (122 consecutive races) and set the world record  four times.\n\n9. Javier Sotomayor, who is the only man to exceed 8 foot in the (8'-½ in,2.45 meters ) in the High Jump, when  he set the world record on July 23, 1993 in Salamanca, Spain.\n\n8. Carl Lewis, matching Jesse Owens mark of 4 gold medals in a single Olympiad, the '84 Los Angeles Games.\n\n7. Carl Lewis, matching Al Oerter's feat of winning 4 gold medals for the same event in 4 consecutive Olympiads, when he won the long jump in the '96 Atlanta Games, matching his efforts in '84, '88 and '92.\n\n6. Michael Johnson winning both the 200m and 400m races in a single Olympics, during the 1996 Atlanta Games.  He easily captured the 400m Olympic title with a time of 43.49 beating Roger Black of Great Britain by almost one second. At the 200m final, Johnson achieved a peak speed of over 40 km/h (25 mph), and finished the race in 19.32 shattering the world record by a third of a second.\n\n5.  Al Oerter became the first track and field athlete to win consecutive gold medals for the same event over the period of FOUR Olympiads. Oerter, won the Discus thow at the '56, '60, '64 & '68 Olmpics.\n\n4. Jim Thorpe's perfomance at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics. Along with the decathlon and pentathlon, Thorpe contested the long jump and high jump as well, but his first event scheduled was the pentathlon. Thorpe was the class of the field, winning four events. He placed only third in the javelin, an event he had never done before 1912. \n\nThe same day he won the pentathlon gold, Thorpe qualified for the high-jump final. In that final, he placed fourth, and took seventh place in the long jump. Thorpe's final event was the decathlon, where tough competition from local favorite Hugo Wieslander was expected. But Wieslander was no match for Thorpe either, finishing some 700 points behind. Thorpe placed in the top four of all ten events.\n\n3. Jessie Owens. But not for winning the 4 Olympic Gold Medals in the 36' Games, but for an extraordinary day that took place a year earlier. In a span of 45 minutes on May 25, 1935 at the Big Ten Championships in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Owns tied the record for the 100 yard dash, set world records in the long jump, 220 yard dash, and 220 yard low hurdles. With the 220 times bettering the records for 200 meter equivalents, Owns set or tied SIX World record in less thane ONE hour.\n\n2. On May 6, 1954 during a meet between British AAA and Oxford University, Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute barrier;  with a time of 3 min 59.4. \n\n1. Bob Beamon's World record jump at the 1968 Mexico City Olymipic Games. Although Beamon was a favorite, his jump was completely unexpected.  From 1935 to 1968, the long jump world record had increased only 8.25" from 26' 8'-1/2 to 27' 4-3/4. With a single jump, Beamon added nearly 22" to the record in a single day.

I went to school with olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis.  Very nice, down to earth.  I ran into him years later at the mall...still the same!

I'd move out of the way and see what they're running from before I started running myself.  To be more philosophical . . . you can run against the grain, but you might be run over.

You have just proved the old addage "A man always chases a woman until she ends up catching him!"

After a good run I feel great. I love being outside and seeing the scenery and feeling the elements. One of my idols is also Steve Prefontaine who is, hands down, the best American distance runner in history... And I get motivation from him and everything he accomplished.

Well I always say it is always won in the trenches so the answer to your question would be  Alan  Faneca.

The probability = 1 (100%)\nThat's pretty simple, but it's more of a riddle than a probability question. I think you knew that.(There might not be any trees or plants, but we know what you mean.)\nIt doesn't matter whether he walks at a constant velocity coming or going (He can speed up and slow down, as long as he makes the trip in 12 hrs.) He will be at exactly the same place at the same time as the day before, once. This is easily understood if, intsead, you imagine one man starting from the bottom and another man from the top. They have to meet, and when they do they will be at the same spot at the same time. It's irrelevant that it's the same man (a day apart).

walking requires one foot to be on the ground at all times... running- both feet are off.... so, the instant there is that lapse where both feet aren't on the ground
