Is this the end of the line for Henry Rono's record bid?

Posted by simon on 7/4/2007 on simon's blog

I'm sure Henry doesn't think so, but it looks like the controllers at letsrun.com have decided enough is enough and have pulled the plugs on the former world record-holder's months-long blogpost on his comeback training and an attempt on the world mile record for 55-year-old men, currently at 4:40.

After months of training, Henry has only got his mile time down to 6:21, failed to lose the weight he said he would, and yet is still telling people he will be running at the world masters championships in Riccione in September and facing off Nolan Shaheed for a new world record.

The second installment of Henry's training diary was around 115 pages and has currently been dropped from letsrun. Just as weird, new posts asking where the Henry thread has got to are being deleted almost as fast as they are put up.

Henry has his own website and team blog, but had a devoted following on his letsrun thread.
