    It's a lot easier to get to the top than it is to stay at the top. That said, I hope he keeps improving. He's right on the cusp of 3:28, which I can't believe an American is running. With his 3:47i, 3:29.02, and 3:30 DL win, it's safe to say he's not just a flash in the pan. Judging by Hoare's last couple seasons, there's no reason to think this will be his peak either. He's in a great group, has great support, and has immense talent.

    His indoor mile showed that he had gold medal potential. A 25 last 200 in a 3:30 equivalent race is spectacular. He's certainly not the favorite (idk if anyone will be during Jakob's reign of terror), but he's got a crazy close, and his PR is already faster than Wightman's. Another year of development and he could very well be challenging Jakob in the Olympics.

    It's 7:28 in the 3000m that place him in a close circle.

    Reasons:

    * he is relatively undertrained. In the NCAA, his training was far from optimal + school. Within a year of being under an organized scientific coach like Ritz performing structured threshold training, he has dropped his 1500 PR by four seconds (3:33 -> 3:29). As Ritz continues to refine his methods to approach the rigor of the Ingebrigtsens, Yared will continue to improve.

    What do you know about his training in college vs. his training now?

    (I'm not necessarily challenging what you're saying. Just would like to know more about what he did before, what he's doing now that has led to his big improvement, and why.)

    I'm basing this off of when he came on the Running Effect podcast. I listened it to a while ago, but from what I remember Nuguse was very focused on school (pre-dental) & prioritized school above all else. Because of this, he was not able to double often or get super high volume.

    Also the NCAA system in general is prohibitive towards truly structured & methodical training thanks to how often an athlete has to peak & race throughout the year.

    Yared’s 3:43 mile now further backs up my points. So excited to see what the goose can run next summer with another fully year of professional training under his belt!

    The Goose is 24. He has about 3 or 4 more years in his prime at 1500m. The clock is ticking.

    I like Yared Naguse and he is an American. But let's remember the pioneers of the sport. Jim Ryun was basically done at age 21. YOU are benefitting from our mistakes.

    re: thegooserislooser

    He's not even the best in the USA anymore. Next year, he will probably be 3rd best behind Kessler.

    He made his big jump up last season, and hasn't really improved much more this season, in fact less than Hocker, Kessler, and Laros, and even Kerr and Jakob.

    Kerr relaxed once he saw Hocker pass him. That's the only reason Nguse nearly caught him, as well the fact that Kerr and Jakob 'destroyed each other'.
