Interesting development for his carreer. I don't know his previous coach, but Wanders' training was often criticized, albeit mostly by hobby joggers who are half as fast as Wanders.

Not a day too late! And we can be sure 100% there will be no use of EPO ;) AS we know Canova

says EPO doesn't work on world top elite runners at high altitude, lol.

No name of new coach at the instagram post? Can we be sure it's Canova and not the Prince of the Kenyan highlands, mr JS ??

Désormais, je serai coaché par le célèbre Renato Canova, qui a accepté de m’aider dans ma quête de performance.

Meaning: from now on I will be coached by the famous Renato Canova, who has accepted me in helping me on my quest to better performances.

He will be under good hands, thats for sure.

This is great news. His running will rise to the next stratospheric level, and some predictions (potential new chronos) for JW:

5000 -12:56, 10,000 - 26:52, half marathon - 57:45, marathon - 2:02.

The swiss coach had good intentions for Julien but the planning was not suitable and it appears that Julien was in a constant state of fatigue and always pushing the envelope which can be good up to a certain point but then physiologically it’s not possible to continue like that.

Monsieur JS est un clown de cirque.

Meaning: Mr JS is a circus clown.

Doper with a coach/agent/pimp that wants his athletes to dope so he gets a bigger cut then lies on letsrun claiming his athletes would never dope and it does not help them anyways lol.

To me, his training has looked like Canova's for months now.

What? Theres no way he can ever run 2:02 very few can. I think it would be great if he did but its not gonna happen.

What about the other times? Actually, I think the most challenging distance for him to achieve a good time would be the 5000 m because he has some challenges to run fast 1500 m which is normally linked to a decent 5000 m and what I mean by that is if he wants to run under 13”minutes and I think he needs to get his 1500 m time down to at least around 336 which he is quite far off for the time being being.What about the other times?

Wanders has no chance to run under 2:04 or 58 minutes. Please tell me you are joking. Wanders might be able to break 27. It is possible. He will likely struggle to break 13. Unlikely.

This is not a joke JW is the biggest Diesel engine in Iten, and recognized as such even by all the local elite and sub elite Kenyans that JW toils with daily.

Julien’s life is 100% athletics and goal oriented. Nothing will get in his way. Canova will help him up that final step to supremacy. He is one of the most focused elites on planet earth. So focused, according to reports, that he does not recognize acquaintances when walking around Iten.

I think he can run sub 13 for 5000m and sub 3:35 for the 1500m but the hafl i dont think so

What will be the schedule of Julien Wanders for 2021? It looks like he will turn to marathon pretty soon but it will be too short fot he Olympics. I guess he will focus on 10,000m, that's his best event.

His old coach was honestly ruining. Straight up I’m 15 years old and could’ve coached him more intelligently.

for real

Structure will be good for Wanders. His style has always been impetuous, but his defense has been far from impregnable. If Wander listens to some wise counsel from Canova, I can see him improving on his already impressive performances and being more consistently great, which is the important thing.

27 low and. 59:13 suggest that running down around 2:04 is pretty reasonable. Or of course he could suck at the marathon and be a 2:10 guy. Granted the gap between 2:04 and 2:02 is pretty large. But we are also talking about a 24 year old. He might have one more big jump in him where he drops another 10-15s off his 5k time and becomes a 26:50 guy.
