He was inconsistent as heck as a collegian. Now he is the best one out there.
In a Let’s Run recent interview he talked about how he put school over running in college. He had a tough major and often didn’t get enough sleep. Sounds like all the little things he is doing now that he wasn’t able to do in college are making a big difference for him. Along with having great training partners.

And I wouldn’t really call him inconsistent in college either. His last indoor campaign was his only bad track race I can recall.
He's fit.Y Nuguse has shown meet directors he deserves a large bag of cash. Y Nuguse needs to take three or four days off then gradually peak for 2023 W.C.

I want to see him in that euro 3000m with Fisher and Jakob. Shut it down after that.

The guy went from an erratic collegiate runner to top 3 in the world in multiple events. incredible

Reminder: 2021 Olympics, 1500m, out with an injury. Shut it down. Indoor meets are glorified scrimmages. There's a reason stars rarely play, N.F.L. pre-season.

Congrat to Americans. Always the guy that rise is the one that was less expected. (Someone compared him in a comment of a video 2 years ago with Aouita ... but a lot didn't take this seriously)
If you search a comparison between him and an old American runner, it should certainly be Sidney Maree and not Jim Ruyn or Steve Prefontaine.
Let's see the outdoor season to state about him. But I'm astonished by all these times (Kincaind 12:51 in the 5000m from someone that is running since 2016?)
Would like to see a confrontation between him and Jakob and Katir.
Katir didn't seem at a perfect top shape in his last 3:35 1500m and looked a bit grimacing at the end.
Quite a good run but this weekend's top performance was from 75 year old Jim Ryun's 4:29 1600m time trial at 4000 feet altitude (in non-super spikes before Ritz coached him) as a better performance.
What do you all think? 4:29 1600m by a 75 year old or a 3:47 in a rabbited race (with Ritz coaching him) by a 22 year old?
3:49-50 without the cheater shoes but still very good.
Do people still seriously think the shoes make a 3 second difference in a mile? Johnny Gregorek would have run 3:46 or Yomif Kejelcha 3:44 indoors with them? Why have the slew of 3:28-3:30 guys not taken the jump to El G territory and run 3:25/3:26 if they make 3 seconds? Somebody tell Jakob he is actually in worse shape than when he was 17 when he ran 3:30 in old spikes.
People overrate the spikes, particularly at 1,500. There isn't nearly the evidence that we see from the road shoes, which no doubt make a difference.
Yared Nuguse smashed the American record and came within a second of breaking the indoor mile world record as he easily took the win in the men's Wanamaker M...
I mean if that was on the BU super runway with a pacemaker that could set up that 3rd 400m better then my god he could legitimately have been close to 3.46 flat today. He ran 59.32 for the 3rd quarter today - when I saw that I wondered if they had blown it because the first 800m was quick (1.53ish) - but no, to close out with 54.2 in a 3.47 mile? Wow, just wow. So it's not hard to imagine that if he had gone even a second slower through 800 and then run a more even 57.5ish third lap and been at 1200 in 2.51, that given what we saw today he could have closed out in 55 low - incredible. I've said it for a while, at miling speeds, running indoors has no disadvantages to running outdoors in fact it might be that it's more advantageous. The issue hasn't been indoor track it's always been the lack of incentive and lack of serious competition at this time of the year and it seems like both of those concepts have well and truly been reversed. Guys want to run fast indoors and race each other and this is what is happening. Great stuff.
