I caught up with steeplechaser Cory Leslie of Furman Elite / Nike today before he races in the Wanamaker mile tomorrow.
You can watch/listen to the interview here:

Leslie is very confident about his fitness right now.
"I know I'm fitter than I've ever been. You don't come to the Millrose Games to kind of just sit back and hopefully well. I want to stick my nose in it and see what happens."
He also said he'll do the 1500 at USA indoors and that he's doing more mileage than ever this year. He's in the 80s which is about a 10 mile bump from what he's done in the past.
I talked to a bunch of other milers as well which you can listen to here:
