J. King made his analysis then you are jumping from device to device changing your handle.
J. King, judging by his posts likes eastern European women. He didn't say anything about you being attracted to long hair feminine males?

EOT.
The 3000m today was the best race of the day and the three up front (Teare, Hocker, and Beamis) looked strong. Rest of the field ran well too. Great job guys.
Bump. Today shows you there is a good core of young(er) runners that have and could do great things but the board at this point is all about which ones are hacks and frauds which is such BS

Right on! Totally agree.
It seemed to me both Hocker and Teare looked old AF, maybe about 30. Really gaunt in the face. They should fatten up a bit, wrong time of year to be starving
Totally agree.
Everyone goes on about his kick,but same as the Olympics,his last lap wasn't as fast as the people around him.The fan boy owners here were all over him last summer, tonight again showed he is not quite top level and will always be a step behind the best.
Oh, how quick LetsRun is to turn on our brightest young stars. You guys suck.

Hocker is still learning how to maximise the enormous potential that lies in his mind and body.
This includes learning how to set professional goals, how to remove fear and doubt, how to adjust his thinking, create new racing habits, squash bad habits, how to take care of his health, how to focus, etc.
By taking the time to do these things, his return on investment will be HUGE.
That he didn't floor his fellow contestants in the final stretch in a race he'd never run that fast is part of that process. He's running over distance. He was a second off his clutch gear in a race where he set a seven second PR. He'll adjust. And, that stretch of real estate where he felt less comfortable and less prepared in the 15 will be less troublesome as he gets a few more takes at connecting the dots.
This race is an indicator. It's providing Hocker and his coach with high quality, DEFINITIVE self improvement information. As with Tokyo, there's raw information they have that's easy to understand. They will take that information and make it easy to apply and simpler to improve.
Tomorrow, when Hocker awakens, he'll take action toward the direction of his dreams..
Will you?
If he had been a few seconds faster at the bell, he would have broken Komen's WR with THAT kick.

good point. but he is selfrepsonsible for that. an athlete should always look out for their body.

His kick was great against boys in college,and as predicted he is being for what he is against men,a very good runner but not quite the best.

It's a process, not a light switch. He's putting in the work towards achieving the best of what he imagines for himself. One practice at a time. One race at a time. This process saw him lose a 3:50 mile last winter and virtually never look back again. Then he faced the music in Tokyo. There's some refining that needs to take place, including gaining more strength.
Having dropped from 7:46 to 7:39 demonstrated that he's picked up some strength. That strength isn't something that he gained overnight.
And the path to his next set of goal achievement won't be without certain types of challenges and learnings.
All part of a process.
Hocker created his OWN BELIEF and it is HIS RESPONSIBILITY to HAMMER it into HIMSELF.
And that is precisely what he is doing. Chisel and hammer day after day. Because he believes he can and will accomplish specific goals in his mind.
Vicariously existing through someone else's journey isn't good for the heart. Because people aren't robots where, at the flip of a switch, they perform at will every time, rinsed and repeated season after season.
That's a long way if saying he'll never be as good as Jacob

We don't agree on much but I might have to agree with it. Both bits.
