Grant Fisher Ends His Season

So a highly trained professional athlete (there's been a lengthy thread about his training) "runs out of gas" in a couple of months of racing? Ridiculous. There are athletes in other sports who compete almost year round.

Peaking now means doping.

I've come around to thinking that Jakob doesn't really set up a peak. He has his summer in season program that he just tweaks for mini peaks to match the inconsistent schedule.

Alternative is that without trials, he planned a racing period from Olympics to DL final, and has peaked for that.

That is a very insightful question.

Once again, the angry Troll who lives an angry life has to pollute the board with his tripe. And he wants to promote his own channel to top it off. Dude! Take a chill pill !!

Odd way to say Jerry over trains everyone.

Basically Grant had success last year because of Bowerman. Or Bowerman training was big part of it. It will be interesting to see what he does next year. It’s extremely odd to fall off a cliff like he did in that 3k and not understand why.

It's called having a bad race. Do you even run? I don't think you do, because having a bad race should be a universal experience for runners.

I love all the trash talk about the 7:49 3k like everyone on this site can top that time.

Grant said he thought he was fine ( bad coaching and assessment) and now has to end his season.
He will have a hard time training in his one for another year with a non attendance coach.

Does spamming every thread with your tired "eVeRyOnE iS DoPiNg durr durr" takes bring you joy? Because clearly following track and field doesn't. Jesus christ find another sport to follow if this one only inspires you to b*tch on an anonymous messageboard every day. Is it not enough for you to hate the sport? Do you have an uncontrollable urge to ruin it for everyone else too, then smugly call them naive for wanting to watch some fast people run in circles without being deafened by your screeching? Congratulations on getting such a long reply out of four asinine words, but for f*ck's sake you're worse than that Khamis dumb*ss...at least his schizophrenic idiocy is good for a laugh sometimes. Please for the love of god go away

Paris Olympics: 2 1500, 2 5000's. One fourth, one gold.

Post Olympics 1500 3:27, 3000 7:17 WR.

There's only one Jacob Ingebrigtsen.

So to summarize for everyone - if you are a world class runner:

1 - Successfully peak for the major race(s) of your season = doping

2 - Run exceptionally well for a long period of time = doping

3 - Run really well in any race then not run well = obviously doping

So the easiest way to never be accused of doping is to simply never run at a world class level. In which case, on Letsrun.com you suck and should give up the sport.

I hope that clears things up for everyone.

Jakob also doubled in Paris and beat Grant by half a lap in the 3000 on Sunday.

I agree with Mr. choccymilk... however...

Re: Khamis', I have a hypothesis that this is just an AI someone prompted to be super annoying and spam the hell out of any thread it pleases. Maybe some find amusement there, but mostly, I just have to skip them and find it even harder to sift through to find interesting insights.

One thing is for sure, there is enough material out there to train an AI to post everywhere "in the style of Khamis" and thereby destroy the LRC message boards. I say this not to give bad actors bad ideas, but rather because I wonder if the BroJos are prepared to defend the site.

Do you know anything about distance running? And if you are a troll, you aren't very good at it. Take a class!

I don't think so. Everybody in the back room knows Fisher's 2 bronzes were constructed by doping PEDs. It couldn't have been possible for him to kick so well all of a sudden after showing no such kick at trials and all history.

Jakob mentioned in post-race presser that if an athlete feels too toast/exhausted/done after the Olympics they weren't training the right way. A subtle dig at Hocker but holds true for Fisher as well.

The idea of peaking for one major event is ingrained in the minds of American coaches and runners. So much so that mentally the mind says "ok, we can quit now" after said event.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insane and wild af right sir???????????????? Just so friggin shocking!!!!!!!!

Can an athlete 'run out of gas' by that much?????????????????? Like 32 seconds slower than Jakob?????????

Like Fisher would be running 7:49 in his sleep blindfolded with a cigar in his mouth on supershoes, it would be that easy for him to run that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My take is that he didn't run out of gas but rather curating cunningly such a 'slow' performance so that he can use that to spin a story about 'wheels came off' to add allure to the story that he might be a clean athlete if clean athletes would have a bad race due to being 'tired' and 'exhausted'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fisher, I'm coming for you baby!!!!!! Don't run!!!!!
