Gary Martin is not as talented as you all think. He's just never going to be a 3:32 guy. It's his genetics.
His muscle fiber type is best for 3k/5k but he is too tall and heavy. His build is good for 800m but he doesn't have the speed and turnover.
He's doing better than I expected him to do in college at UVA. Their 800m guy Cohen is a BEAST, Mountain is the favorite to win the steeplechase and his teammate Porter qualified in the 1500 for the final.
Hard to blame the training when everyone else on the team is doing so well. Gary is just not what you think he is.
Oof
