Hard to figure what is going on with German or his training.
I have been a huge fan of the talent for years now, but....
At age 18 he ran his first collegiate 3K on same track in 7:47, 6 years later he is losing to a guy who was not even in Oregon's top 5 in cross . in 8:04?
Its hard to believe after he somehow got to 3:34.xx that he cannot easily break 8 flat easily or 13:20 by now, unless he is has recently been completely sidelined for months lately or has completely lost his competitive edge.
IN HS after graduation :
He also broke Galen Rupp's high school 3000 meter record with a 3000 meter split of 7:59.82.
Anyone have any insights into this, or anyone know what is up with Jeremy Elkaim, I know , way different subjects, just thought I could double up here.
