Let's just let him run already and see what he WTF he does! Then, we can either bash or praise his efforts. We will find out soon enough whether the Schumacher move was the right thing to do or not!

Sorry, but the "Person A does not have any talent until proven otherwise with records/medals..." is about as lame as they come. If that were the case then the word "talent" becomes meaningless.
Please try being less stupid if you can summon up sufficient talent for this.
Got to love the GF fans, reminds me of his freshman year when they insisted he was going to "take Rupp downtown in the 5k" and go sub 13. Ok, I'll humor you guys, you're right, GF has MORE talent than Galen Rupp. There your boy with his inferior career is somehow more "talented" than Galen Rupp, you win.
Too Bad the group rarely races.

Good for the boys, but besides Jager and Lomong, the rest live in the shadow of Shalane and Kara

It isn't so much that I win as that you lose.
Feel free to point out where I said (a) I was a GF fan or (b) GF is more talented than GR.
While you're at it you might want to see about getting an IQ that will allow you to understand what you are reading.
Carry on my little lame brained friend.
What group does one join, if you are an elite 1500m runner?
Is he racing soon? I would think the smart thing would be to try to get a solid 9 months of training in before racing. If he had injury-free mileage starting in May, that would put him in a good position to do something cool at the World XC Championships perhaps. He always said he loved XC the most.
While he was usually injured during track rather than XC, it seems his summer training was usually interrupted with some injury issues that prevented him from getting the mileage he needed, which kept any top 3 finishes out of reach. It would be interesting to see what he can really do in his favorite sport, then go for a big 5,000 PR in spring and get on the World Championships team. Best of luck to him.
Im predicting 13:05 next spring/summer.
