Hmm ... three weeks from important meet groups start to separate into 1500-type athletes and more strength-type athletes ... very suspicious ...
This mindset about a singular peak and that training for medals means you invariably do not run well in May is antiquated garbage. This is not 1963 in the Whanganui hills and we are not deep in our hill bounding period. If you get dropped like a bad habit by people like Hull and Seccafien, even if you're not super sharp, you are not a medal contender. Period.
And "peaking", whatever that means, does not produce miracles. Experienced athletes do not go from 15:00 to 14:20 in a month because of "peaking". Anybody who thinks this way just doesn't understand how modern training works.

I'm not saying she can drop 40 seconds by Tokyo, I do think her performance had more to do with her minor injury, but still, Jerry may be peaking her for Tokyo instead of the trials. Plus I've had plenty of bad races when I trained thru and didn't recover well from the previous workout, it happens.
What about this mindset of a singular peak is wrong? If you're peaking for late July, how do you know details about the athletes training to know how rested they were, if at all, for races in April, May, and June? This doesn't mean you can't hold form well over months, but you may have to sacrifice having a bad race in May to not significantly drop your mileage for the race.
The most experience athletes aren't going to hold peak fitness for longer than 3-4 max without some sort of reset. Sure you can point to examples where athletes performed well all season, but hitting your actual physiological is something else. You can hold 90% longer, 80% longer etc, but hitting 100% in the window of the championships requires diligent planning, particularly for distance runners.
This is why we should have USA's 10 days before World's (separate trials for 10k). Majority of athletes need to peak for USA's, then what do you do for 4-6 weeks? Can't fit another build up in, don't want to drop in mileage for another 2-3 races. You guys wonder why Jerry doesn't race his athletes a lot.
^3-4 weeks

I got beat by a man with manboobs 3 wks before I won the biggest race of my career. I am a woman. Peaking is really a thing.
She is recently engaged with Jose Canseco . So her training routine is off.
This was not a great race . The current fitness is not at her hair on fire 2020 version . Time is short
