Alan Webb has had a tumultuous career to say the least. He's had a rocky comeback this past season, but showed glimpses of his old, 2007 form. Today, after petitioning to get into the 5000m race, he failed to get out of the semi-final heat. With a baby on the way, and feeling drained, Webb has decided to scratch out of the 1500m and begin reevaluating his career, and where he still fits in in American distance running.


Part 1 with Webb on bad race but not leaving sport

Part 2 with Webb on Ups and Downs

This guy should just "move on" with his life...he was a stand out in high school...made a stint in the pros but wasn't cut out for it. Possibly just run in show cases? I'm not bringing him down because he was ultimately the flower child of track and field..but personally I think just like Asafa Powell, something is mentally wrong with him.

You'll be a great father ! You'll be back for 2016 in the 1500 or 5K. It'll be a great opportunity to visit Rio :) Good luck and best wishes on a healthy delivery and healthy baby. You might want to contact Ritz, Ryan Hall, and the Gouchers on any advice about juggling being a parent and your running profession. I want to see you back in the next Olympic Trials and Olympics in 2016. You are great for the sport !

I think it's weird that the interview is labelled moving on to fatherhood as if the two are mutually exclusive or that's the focus of the interview

Does he really have a Toupee? If so, how wierd and convincing while racing! Sure, he's a naturally a great guy and has made his amazing stamp on American and World distance running! But, petitioning to get into the 5k was not ethical nor practical and was a flagrant abuse of slippery USATF rules. Leap frogging from coach to coach and this training system and that, ultimately was destructive to his potential and psychological stability. His exit from the higher strata of competition couldn't have been more anti-climatic!

He'll be back. You can't keep him down. Maybe not for an Olympics, but he'll be back.
