Centro Says He is Running 105 miles per Week

Of course it is possible Centro could beat Farah in a championship 5000m. Farah is getting older and maybe beating Mo at his own game is the way to go.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thanks for the laugh - that was a good one.

I do not think Centro can get those records.

He is a great racer, but he's not a 3:46 miler. By 2018 or maybe as soon as this coming season, Clayton Murphy will be scorching him in the 1500 anyway, so the move to 5K might be best.

3:30 1500 = 3:46-47 mile

He will break both ARs

I noticed that Ovett officially ran 47.5 for 400m but that was back in 1974 when he was running mainly 800m, as soon as he began focusing on 1500m c.1976 he was more of a low-48 man for 400m flat. So lots of distance work might marginally hit top end speed but Centro has been doing 90 m.p.w. plus for years now and still could do 50s in a final so I don't think he has much to worry about.

Did you say it is possible (and even very likely) that Centro could beat Mobot in a 5K?

I hope Mo remembers Centro's 3 x 800m in 1:49 and this workout when Mo looks over with 400m to go in a 5000m and Centro is there:

…uh oh…Oh no MoNo…It's Centro!!!

Does anyone know the amount of rest he had between those 6 x 400s in 51?

Or between those 3 x 800 in 1:49? Haven't heard of that series before.

Centro isn't a miler. He might be able to win a US championships but won't be able to step up with the big boys on the world stage and win a medal in the mile.

WOW! "Centro isn't a miler"... Just has an Olympic Gold Medal in the metric mile, Just has a World Championship Gold medal in the metric mile.... How many American MILERS can say that...

This comment is, absurd.

I predict 3:26.69 and 3:45.99 heard it hear first! Then crushes the American 5K record.

Isn't a miler LMFAO!

what a delusional *ssclown. he wins in the slowest 1500 meters at the olympics since 1932 and now thinks he going to crush all these records.

once a douche always a douche!

I am glad you are having a good laugh, but considering Farah will be turning 34 in March, and Centro just turned 27 last month, the joke is likely to be on you.

You are really stupid. However, for entertainment purposes, when is Mo Farah going to be incapable of winning gold medals? Enlighten us.

Who cares he's a doper

I run 31 miles per week and I guarantee i will break the mile world record very soon. You don't have to be a toothpick running 106 miles per week. That's a bunch of BS. Letsrun and all these people who post about running over 100 miles a week including elites are posting a bunch of propaganda. They don't want to tell YOU the REAL secret to success! Also I'll tell you something. I started reading some runners world magazines years ago and followed some of their programs and my training took a s_IT! FOLLOW what works for YOU! And if you havent found what works for you and you're not improving then before too long try something different. If you keep sticking to what doesnt work then you are going to keep being unsuccessful.. just like running over 100 miles a week is a way to make you weak and unable to have the strength to run fast for almost any distances. TAKE IT FROM ME!

This has to be the best post of the year

Thanks Phil.

It is nice to see a Maffetone Aerobic Fun (MAF) Methodâ„¢ elite clear things up for all the hobby joggers here.

Now there´s some ridiculous claims, troll. By strength you mean muscle power? You just combine the higher mileage with speed training and weights to avoid being too "weak" or slow.

In the article, Centro doesn´t speak of the mileage he did last year, but says that he´s currently @ 105mpw, because racing more at the 5k next year. "But throughout the celebrations, training for next season has already begun. He is currently running 105 miles a week and plans to add more 5Ks to his schedule next year." And you don´t have to run 106mpw, 105 is enough. Note the sarcasm.

Try the Centro´s 6x400 workout with the low mileage approach; all inside 52,3-49,7 seconds, averaging 51,3. Ain´t gonna work, as well as your mile WR BS. There´s no shortcuts at 1500/mile if you want to reach your best.

That's right and why would someone waste their time running excess of 100 miles a week. It's a shortcut to failure to certain failure. Quality workouts is where it's at and thats where you dont want to take a short cut! I can run a 3:42 1500 off of 31 miles a week and if i ran 100 miles a week I would barely be able to run a 5 minute mile. Stop trying to feed people in this site with BS!

Hey Mr. Kyle Merber.

You are not fooling anyone here.

It is obvious this post is from Merbot.

We can tell it is you from your pathetic mileage per week.
