But he wasnt fit, so clearly it wasn't the best tactic.
Well whose to say it wasn't? Maybe he wouldn't have got through running with different tactics either. Anyways tactics are overrated – it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand how to optimally run a 1500m based on a few variables.
We at least know this wasn't it, lol. Tactics is a big part of the 1500 imo.
Hocker confirms on IG that he didnt run the 14 days before the 1500 prelims after he picked up an injury. Says he is planning on getting healthy and racing deep into the summer.
