I ran 5:47, 4:49, 4:40, 4:24. During the same period I cut my 5k from 23:00 to 15:27. Not earth shattering but neither is my talent. Just the same it was a big drop from when I started and was getting last place, literally. What did it? Miles. Frequent 2 a days and now and then 3 (morning, noon, night). 5:00 -> 14:55 seems quite reasonable.
surprising that nobody has mentioned the obvious: PEDs.

it is surprising given the negative, trollish nature if the people who post here.
then again it could be people probably know he never has, doesn't and will not use PEDs
He ran that 14:55 on a ridiculously short course in Rhode Island. I know because I also ran on the course. It was freezing, and there was snow everywhere. It was so bad in sections that they had to cut portions off, they didn't tell anyone but it was pretty obviously when I wasn't the only one who pr'ed by 35 seconds on a nasty course.

Yes, of course the entire letsrun community somehow "knows" that. Not.
The word of a family friend has always been a good predictor of an athlete's drug-free status, right? Right?

I'm guessing Chapa and Lambie's wedding.
hahaha oh my god i think i just got a hernia from laughing so hard
I am in your club.
Went from 4:50 to 4:30 in the mile and from 16:58 to 15:38 in the 5K. All over several years. Nothing changed except that I doubled my weekly miles.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who appreciated that.
haha yea thats true.
all your base are belong to us
Actually he ran 5 flat during soccer tryouts JUNIOR year
remember this thread next time some dude insists most soccer players could run 5 minute miles off soccer training.
If aerobic freak Wheating couldn't do it, I don't think many others could.

You solved the mystery. I looked at the results and I saw the photos and I was like "14:55 in the snow WTF!! He still a freak of nature and I'll bet he'll get Johnny Gray's 800m record
