5000-meter: 13:50.08
The guy is a stud, with good leg speed. Based on his 1500/mile, he should really be close to 13:15-13:25/5000.
Pretty surprised Chuck couldn't take that one down, although who knows what kind of shape he's in right now this far after track season. He is a 13:12 guy and ran 3:32 this year...

Well I mean, he then transferred to Florida State for two years because he despised Houle’s training.

What does Houle's training consist of? He's been around forever so I just assumed he does everything all successful coaches do. Especially in a place like Utah that has a very strong coaching culture...and especially because he has at least 2 other coaches in the family.

With 1.47 800m speed you would think so, but going that slow throughout the the race also lets people into the mix who perhaps shouldn't be in it at the end. Bor tried to lead it, but that didn't work out for him at the end.
Not sure CPT really has a great kick anyway - Lumb walked him down at Canadian nationals in the 1500m (although perhaps he just went too early). In a few of his more competitive 5000's he seemed to be in the mix until the last 600m then fell apart a bit, when the speed picked up.

I agree that he's good, but 13:15-13:25 is a massive range.
Left arm.
He took time off after Worlds. Can’t speak for Kasey but I assume he ended his summer season earlier .. This meet is weirdly timed with most pros in their base phase
He ran 13:15 and 3:34 this year. Was stuck at 3:38/13:30 level for a few years after turning pro

Paul Chelimo has done worse.
I think the thing that was most unique about our training (I ran for SUU back in the mid-late 2010s, with Kasey for a couple years) was that there was a minimum pace we had to go for easy runs of sub 6:45. Easy runs averaged 6:20-6:45. Also some top guys got up to super high mileage- 120-130 miles. A lot of the stuff we did- threshold runs, Mile repeats, Ks, hills and stuff like that are pretty standard- the program was more oriented towards 5k/10k and Kasey was a miler. The fast paced easy run can make you feel like you don't get a true recovery run some weeks, especially when you're only in 15 minute 5k shape.
Super happy for Kasey getting this W!
