Millrose 3000 - better than Karlsruhe! 10 run under 7:50.00 (29/01/2022)

Conner Mantz: people might forget that he has achieved 3:37.96/1500 last year at the end of April. This means that although he’s not intrinsically fast he can hold a very strong pace on the track from 1500 m to 10,000 m and I feel good this year if he does some track racing he could bring his times down to 13:10.00/27:20.00 from his presents bests of 13:24.78/27:41.16. What is his ceiling on the road for the half marathon? That remains open to question. Could he become as fast as Ritz (60:00)? When I look at him run he seems to have a slight mechanical oddity in his foot plant but perhaps that does not hurt him. I am just wondering whether that unorthodox foot plant might present issues on the road? Perhaps this is negative thinking?

Great race. I expected more out of ferlic and less out of Parsons. Solid performance by Hunter, but definitely the worst uniform!

Hocker without his usual NOS switch, and Teare looking strong. Beamish with a super impressive last lap.

Deeper, not better.

Yep, I stand corrected on that one, and Aregawi’s magnificent performance yesterday, 7:26.20, is on a different level. Nice to see American runners doing so well, not far off Mechal’s 7:37.

Typo: Adel Mechaal ran 7:36.57 yesterday.

Didn't Ryan Hill do 7:30 or 7:35. Considering how low the miles are going, I'm not sure what to make of these except that Morgan Beadlescomb might be a title contender this indoor season

Ryan Hill: Yep, 7:30 outdoors and 7:34 indoors. Hill - absolute beast over that distance which was probably his best distance overall. Based on his 3K times he should’ve been under 13 minutes for 5000 but his best 5000 was 1305.

Mechaal (32), still going strong with 7:36.57 in Karlsruhe.

Kudos to everyone in Millrose, with few disappointments, and the guy who impressed many was Mantz who transferred his endurance base to the track over 3K and performed to his max.

It's not that surprising; there were far more people running, the field was deeper and it was paced for 7:36-40 not for 7:24 whereas the ~7:40 runners in Karlsruhe had to see for themselves without a pacer.

Cooper Teare - always gracious in defeat
