Running 3:28 was a consequence of that
Which resulted in him losing much endurance genius. Which is what I said. Good job.
No, you said:
"He lost much of his endurance when he decided to train for a 3:28."
He never decided to train for 3:28.
He did the same training as in previous cycles with Salazar. The 3:28 1500 was a consequence of the fitness he gained. He didn't lose endurance.

Don't think the real value of Mo is 12'53". He ran already 12'57" in 2010, when we worked together for some month in Iten, in Zurich, and now is very much stronger, after going to Salazar. To think can run near 12'40" is something reasonable, such as the possibility of running under 26'30" in 10000m.
Posted 2 days after Mo ran 3:28 in Monaco last year.
