GRANT MF FISHERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

You obviously have not been following his running career.

You missed A LOT. For one thing, the range giving was 2015-2022. Was Shelby banned in 2019? Was Kiprop banned in 2015? Just to name a couple.

Well done Grant Fisher!

You are an inspiration to many many running fans.

You find joy in competing, are humble with your success, gracious during moments when things don’t work out the way you had hoped.

What a race GF just ran. The pace was so hot at the beginning and Grant managed his abilities perfectly which resulted in 3rd place at Monaco and a new American Record.

Couldn't happen to a better guy.

You make the USA proud.

He should go for the 2 mile AR. 8:05 is more than attainable based on his 3k time and progression. Exciting time to watch him excel and compete against the best of the best!

I'd like to see him go for the 5000 AR. I feel he must have a sub 12:50 in him. Will be exciting if he enters Brussels and Jakob and Cheptegei are there running a sub 12:45.

7:31 with old spikes. Gotta remember they aid training too (get fitter easier, recover better, train harder, repeat) so runners would be setting PRs even in OG victories. They don't just make you faster on the day

Got the list doping violations per year to show there was substantial differences from before compared to after super shoes?

Kennedy was #19 all time in the 3000 when he ran 7:30, and #9 all time when he ran 12:58. Don't think he ever got a 10k at that level though.

This is a joke lol. If he went out hard and died you'd tell him he was an idiot. Now he runs a smart race (positive splitting still like you crave) and you think he's a wuss.

I've followed his career since he was playing soccer and running 4:11 in the mile as a sophomore in high school. I also watched him progress since then and no, it's not "sus" that a kid with his talent can set American records.

What is the appropriate trajectory for a clean athlete to you? Please provide the rubric for success as a clean athlete by time.

Honestly if the Brussels race is a 12:40 to 12.45 paced race and Fisher runs he will destroy the 5000m AR, weather permitting. I think 12:43-12:49 for Fisher under great conditions

looks like he was able to get a specialty burrito in Monaco. Good for him.

My guess is Cheptegei is done with track and so is Barega. Those two and Kiplimo are headlining the Great North half marathon in early September

boy here we go with more assumptions

Lol right? Dude's been a prodigy since high school, and people think he's doping. I get it, in the US we're used to prodigies not panning out very well, but sheesh!

bet you said the same thing about Shelby and Lance. Keep drinking the kool aid.

Agree. He is a stud. He was in high school off low mileage and still playing soccer. It’s natural progression, hard work and talent

Just in the past month we had Randolph Ross banned, olympic gold medalist. Nijel Amos was banned, olympic silver medalist, and Lawrence Cherono banned - 2:03.04 marathoner, 2019 Boston and Chicago champion. Not distance, but Olympic Champion Erik Kynard got banned.

We've also had a massive number of whereabouts failures. And stronger testing will discourage doping so it may result in fewer postive tests because less people are doping.

Honestly slow race or fast race Ingebrigtsen would still beat Grant, let’s not forget Jakob ran 7:27 low when he was 19, destroyed one of the best field of all time in a very fast race in Florence, and still destroyed one of the best field of all time in a slow-ish race in Eugene. But I agree Grant could have medaled, he’ll get it next time he just has to get more confidence and those diamond league races will help him learn to race in a pack.
