There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE learning from misstakes and come back stronger like Dathan Ritzenheim! Julien Wanders seems to lack that property. He repeatedly steps on mines and don't want to accept/see why he is getting sick & injured.
We all know Wanders dedicates 100% to his running career. It may also be what inhibits his development. On the edge of robotic life...
I hope you're right saying Julien is "a smart guy". By that I mean learning from mistakes/errors. The more he has done, the more skeptical I become.
Julien Wanders: Just give him time - he's a very educated Geneva based Swissman - from upper level Swiss patrician background - in fact he's not doing this for money because his family are independently wealthy, both parents Geneva Symphony Orchestra members -"creme de la crème"
Greenbacks and smarts don't make you faster. It's in the legs and the mind. But he's just not fast enough and i suspect he knows it.
You gotta run sub 26:50 , sub 58:30 half or sub 2:04 to exist on the world scene these days. That's well above what he could ever hope to achieve.

Wanders, predictions: He ran 13:13, 27:17, 59:13, with sub optimal track training in 2019. He can run under 2:04:00 to become the fastest non African. He would not continue training if he did not think that he could reach the highest levels in the world. The day that he feels he can no longer improve in track and field is the day that he will transfer his tremendous motivation to other endeavors which might probably be rap music which is his second passion in life aside from running. He is particularly keen on rap music of the French variety.

Top Non Africans - although debatable because most of these guys were actually born in African countries like Somalia, Kenya, etc. Depends on viewpoint.

this isn't the first time ghost has mentioned a rap artist julian apparently likes. very odd. but it is the first time he has made a reference to kylian mbappe. but i think that is just because he is black, because they look nothing alike apart from that. may as well say that dude looks like barack obama.
One of Julien’s favorite French rap artists, Ninho, who bears a surprising resemblance to French soccer monster Kylian Mbappe.
Ghost1, do you see a lot of monsters around you?
You can follow Wanders here, but he doesn’t post often as he’s a very discrete and reserved individual. For those in Kenya you can also avail of his good economical meals in his restaurant- the “Midland Hotel and restaurant” right in the center of ITEN. You may actually bump into Julien at the restaurant but he does not often come there either. Quite honestly he’s a very quiet mystery man who prefers to do things in his own space. He’s the antithesis of rah rah rah and extroversion and yet this is paradoxical because he’s a big rap music lover of the French variety.
I also recommend “Lilley’s,” further up the hill, about a kilometer from there, for decent meals and company of world class runners.

Ninho (French rap monster) and Mbappe are both short, stocky and possess remarkably similar facial structures and similarities, if not mistaken. Am I missing something?
Slight off topic but since talking about Kylian Mbappe, here is short interview with him. His English is pretty decent for a French professional footballer, not generally highly regarded for their foreign language linguistic skills.
