”Sounds about right. He's a smart guy who's slowly building back up, doesn't have the speed he used to have. In his peak form--350 indoor mile, Olympic silver he could have gone sub 58 minutes, for real.”
He ran 1:00:22 at this race while just out of college, like 2009/2010 timeframe. Hopefully he runs faster than that. Hard to think after all that has happened in the last 14 years or so, that he isn't even "that fast" any more.

I think under 63:00 could get top-5 tomorrow. Tough conditions. It shouldn't be a fast day. I'll go 62:53 for 5th.
He hasn't announced a spring marathon has he?
5th was 1:02:58.
Right about sub-63:00 getting 5th. 4th-11th was 1:02:57-1:03:10. Think those times are worth something a bit quicker on a faster course/with better weather.
