It’s very clear many of you never ran at a high level. This is a BRILLIANT move by Jerry and Matt.
Centro’s strengths:
Tactics
Positioning
Last 400-600m
Centros weaknesses:
Fast early pace
Long drawn out kick
What Jerry is getting him ready to do is handle a steady, even, crushing pace (in this case he’ll aim to hit 1500 in about 3:31 and finish in 3:45-46.
Will he be able to do it? Only the result will tell us. But this will perfectly prepare him both physically and mentally for the kind of race they are predicting (one led out hard by Tim C and with Jakob I closing the last 800 in around 1:50).
Love this, and I hope he gets Webb’s record and a second Gold at the Games!!!
