That is interesting that Teg called Bumbi a threat, though it makes sense. They're both likely best at the 5K, Bumbi's young and improving, Teg's older. Anyone know what he said exactly? Also, what are the team dynamics like? I've read the Schumaker group kind of had its set roles, with Teg being the quote inquire older brother, Solinksy the stubborn younger brother/big dog, etc. How has Bumbi fit in? Have his improvements caused any tension? Does he hang with Teg and Solinksy during workouts?
Don't forget they also have Lopez training with them now. Hopefully the set roles that have been mentioned have been shattered. In fact, with Solinsky assuming 'top dawg' status, the import of a legit 1500m stud and now a ballin' young gun I am sure they have. Add to that the two chicks and it's an entirely new group.
What is the deal with Jager though? Last I heard he had rebroken that navicular and was wearing a lot of Stussy. Any insight?
Yeah that is one hell of a crew. Seriously, good lord.
Solinsky
Teg
Bumbi
Lomong
Bairu
Nelson
Jager
Flanagan
Koll.
That's insane. I wonder if they'll pick up any of Centrowitz, Derrick, Fernandez, etc.
The future is looking bright. Glad to see Bumbalough in particular is making good on all the promise he showed in high school when people prematurely (and briefly) called him the Next Ritz.

According to twitter, he's been back to running outside. On Feb 4 he posted that he did a 50 minute run, and it was his seventh day of running in a row.
Yeeeehaaa...Brentwood repreeeeesent!
I hope Fernandez and Derrick choose Bay Area Track Club. Garret Heath and David Torrence are hard workers and one can only imagine could be positive for for German.
OTC is overrated. There is no magic sauce. It's the same as it's always has been. Mileage. Workouts. Timely races. Confidence. Teammates who inspire each other.
How can you not be inspired training/racing with someone like Garret Heath or Mark Matusak? Two classy guys.
Because every team has hardworking, extraordinarily talented guys who run timely races. If it were me, I'd choose Solinsky, Teg, Bumbi, Lomong, Bumbi, Lomong, and Mater for the mix of experienced elite athletes and young beast talents.
Does anyone know when he is racing next?
Probably March 20 in Punta Umbria, Spain.
Shit, that's a month and a half away.
anyone else notice how schumacher's guys have just been dominating.. if i were at the professional elite level i would be wanting to work with him.
just sounds like he has no gimmicks/ consistent training approach that produces results. i'm a fan
yeah. straight baller group.
