COLE HOCKER 5000M CHAMPION

Armstronglivs is a loser lol universally disliked on letsrun and in this thread alone probably closing in on 1k downvotes

He’s the quintessential internet loser hating on winners.

How about moving lower, knowing you spend 42 years to break 10-second barrier.

Jakob was only exploiting a gap in training involving thresholds and his extremely stable and favorable environment.

worth remention. morons create a quick narative, he is a one hit wonder, washed up after a so so opener, based on a sample size as big as their dk.

with jacob, after injury his racing actually got him into shape, where his final result, means he is ramping up fast to normal fitness.

the brojos are guilty of this, when they should know better, never mind.

Same clown was posting under “Hssn Man Mok”. He’s still a racist.

How about not relying on handouts from those hated “Westerners” and their “stable environments” you whine about. Why is environment in Bachar so unstable?

Tall poppy syndrome. You just can't stand being old and irrelevant, Crusty.

It’s called peaking. Athletes tend to do it for the most important race of a season.

He robbed himself. If legitimate rules go out the window so the fans can watch cool races, why not just postpone this championships until December so Josh and Jakob can compete healthy? Clearly this is not just part of the sport, we were robbed of this exciting rivalry and we should whine about it just like Cole continues to do!!

If this isn’t chat gpt, you write exactly like chat gpt

You didn't answer the real point.
You forgot you dominated a half century and disappeared suddenly like the dinosaurs?

how tf do u know it was Americans saying Hocker never won since Paris? sounds like a Jakob stan comment! you know nothing!

I already told you without money and buying stuffs you can't do anything bright.

Cole Hocker has a contract with Nike.

You're a straw man dipsh!t. No - we Americans weren't mocking him (actually, funny, the main place I kept hearing that was Steve Cram in the commentary box). We knew all along he was going to be ready when it counts.

Kerr and Ingebrigtsen do this too, with the difference being that Jingy is able to put up world class times before peaking/slimming down for the championships.

Perfectly executed by Cole. Big win, fully deserved.

Four sec faster than an all time low Jakob. A Jakob in normal shape is way beyond. But a part of the game is to be in shape on the startline. Jacob was not. So this one went to Cole.

Robert Farken is his name. He got Hocker DQ'd just so he could be a nonfactor in the weakest 1500m final field of the decade. I hope he's proud of himself!

So, let's see what I would rather win: maybe a GST race that doesn't mean sh*t; maybe some Grand Prix race somewhere that is forgotten 10 minutes later; how about a DL meet that is cool but nobody remembers or gives a damn about next year; how is this: the Olympic 1500 meters and for good measure the next year's World Championship 5000 meters. Hmm, what would you pick? Like I said earlier the Hocker haters are losers and should be jumping off the bridge. At least they should be banned from LRC...especially one whose user name begins Arm.......

I don't think I've ever seen people going on this much about peaking and how the only race that matters is a race that's ran less than once a year outside of American runners. Being the best means being able to perform more than once a year. The best runners are the runners who can both run fast times on the circuit and win global medals.

All this talk about how Hocker is the best peaker ever and the best American distance runner and it's referring to a guy who's not even had a better season than Jimmy Gressier.

Oh, but what a high schooler…..
