Our hero promised to pull back from marathoning and return to the track. Today he tweeted: "Finished up the 400 in :56 and the 800 in 2:05, today. I've been running these splits for the last year."
Slow by his standards, and he didn't say it was on the track, but he's returned to training, so the track scouts better take notice. Expect big things in Rio.
Well on his way to his goal of a sub140 800m and Olympic gold.
How did he do in the Boston Marathon?
56 sec 400 = 3:45 mile pace.
2:05 800 = 13:01 5000m pace
Hate all you want, he is on his way to turning some heads at Rio if he keeps this up.

Didn't quite achieve his goal of 2:20.
Very strange that you continue to be obsessed with this guy. Bizarre, really.

I agree. He's a very strange and bizarre man.

Not strange, very interesting actually. Besides maybe swimming, cycling, and weight lifting, there aren't many sports where someone could brag, individually, at this level. He obviously knows enough about the sport to claim certain times, that aren't entirely impossible (just 1/20,000,000,000 chances).
He's created a whole theater that's on display; I think that's worth watching.

He ran like a 3:45 so a bit off his 2:20 A goal and 2:45 B goal. Looks like he bounced back nicely.

And, of course, we all know he can't run these times. Brojos?
