I dunno, I think it's still a pretty impressive workout. Just not as exciting as it could have been. He's obviously in great shape.
Impressive, maybe, but why? It's pointless 2 weeks before the trials. had he cut the last one down it might have shown unbelievable fitness, not it shows that, OK, he's fit, but so what. We already knew that from his last 1500 and 800. Risking injury for what?
Does the BTC squad know Jerry’s job is in danger with you around now?

Every time someone has an opinion that differs from yours, they are not a troll. Grow up!
I do believe that Seb Coe did something like 3X 800 in 1:49 in his lead up to some big races. I think Centro and his coaches know a thing or two more about running than some doofy troll on letsrun.
Got it. You don't know why, you just have blind fait that they do. Of course it would be unheard of for someone to do something stupid, we all know coaches and athletes are perfect in their approach to race preparation.
It was stupid, get over it!

Have you never heard of the concept of speed endurance? He's running 2400m worth of work at sub 3:30 pace. He's working on his ability to hang with a hot pace and hold on when he's tired.
This is not an abnormal workout for an elite professional miler....How does this workout not benefit him?
Not only does Williams have a one sub 14:00 guy, they now have Elias Lindgren at 13:53. What's in the water in Williamstown??
To add on to this, he is going to need this kind of speed endurance in Tokyo if/when Cheuriyot decides to solo a 3:27 or something (similar to what he did in 2019) in the final. That's the pace he was running today.
He worked on his speed last week with his 1:46 800, which is helpful for the trials and if the Olympics turns tactical (which it probably won't with Jakob and Tim)

His stated expectation was to win all of them, it was about his ego, not about speed endurance. Speed endurance workouts also don't work when you blow up on the last rep. His ego got the best of him and he looks like a clown, and so do you.

jamin is probably the fastest regular poster / troll on this website. Major wheels and makes huge $$$. Just needs the model wife.
Weak minded competitor with no discipline that underperforms, makes a modest corporate salary by Seattle standards, rents in the most expensive neighborhood in town and has no equity to show for his exorbitant housing costs. Can barely talk to normal women (deep down despises them) and will never attract true quality.
But, evidently, a sub 15 minute 5K clocking and the admiration of a handful of similar autistic savants makes one a hero on LRC. I anxiously await his excuse post. Maybe it was the vaccine?
Marielle Hall won't last too much longer on BTC
Schumacher has definitely overcooked a handful of these athletes. Hall reminds me of when Bairu and Tim Nelson were past their expiration dates
Hall has got to be dealing with an injury or something. She hasn't had a good performance since Doha.

LOL ok buddy, sure. I'm still not sure if you're being serious or not. If you are you've obviously got some weird axe to grind against Centro so I'll just leave it at that.
Eesh….Hall looks bad. Are all 3 of these ladies doing both the 5k and 10k? I don’t think any of them have a shot at the 5k.
Unimpressive night for BTC. I do not see a path to Tokyo for Hall, Infeld, or Fraser-- the fields are just too deep. Where was Jorgensen?? Why did she scratch??
+1

So happy for Kate Grace, she got out at the right time, Jerry would have burned her out too. On the post race interview Emily even said she was overtrained and had to pull back a bit.
Funny how everyone seems to agree that the BTC crew is being over trained but I suggest that Centro's 800s tonight were idiotic and unnecessary and everyone thinks I'm crazy. Well, which one is it? Jerry has it perfect for Centro but he's an idiot for overtraining the rest of them?

Perhaps different people respond better to the same training?
Why is it so difficult to find results.

Impressive run from Oregon’s Jack Yearian. He punched his ticket to the Olympic trials with his 3:37 1500m.
Ok. Can we admit the super spikes are crazy? Either that or Ben Thomas is a mid-d GOD?
A redshirt senior that I've barely heard of that ran the 10,000 at the Pac 12 meet a few weeks - the only time he's ever run the pac-12 meet in track during his Oregon career - just ran 3:37?
CONGRATS to him. He's going to the Trials but didn't even make it to NCAAs. Crazy good. Anyone know why he ran the 10k at conference if he was going for the 1500?
That being said. I'm getting less and less impressed by Kessler's 3:34 every minute.
