Talk:Long-distance running

message: These sections seem to be far to long and very subjective too. David D. (Talk) 17:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I feel that to be included in the list as notable, the athlete should have been either a World Record holder, Olympic gold medallist or World Championship gold medallist and we should only include those with medals and/or records on Long distance track events... not marathon or steeplechase or other events.

message: Should there be a section about the dominance of east/central Africans in distance running? A disproportionate number of great runners have come from Kenya, Ethiopia, and other places in the region. A quick Google search of "long distance running east africa" yields around 300,000 hits, many of which are articles from major publications about their dominance in the sport. Also, ask any distance runner where the best runners are from and you'll hear "East Africa."Punkrockrunner (talk) 23:59, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

message: This article contradicts wikipedia's own article on 5k running, which refers to it as long-distance running. Here long distance is defined as upwards of 8k. Furthermore, the article on middle distance running sets an upper limit of 3k. So unless there is a mid-long distance that I am unaware of, there is a bit of a problem. I am not sure what to do about it, and I have left a similar comment on the wiki article for 5k. Triangl (talk) 16:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
