GRANT FISHER:. how many American Records will he destroy

I'm responsible for the 4:57 last 2k error. It was 4:59.9. Sorry about that!

Fisher proved he is the most talented runner in the US last night. He will surely break multiple ARs. I'm particularly curious about Rupp's indoor 3k record of 7:30. I think that is actually Rupp's strongest performance in terms of time... with maybe his 10k AR being a close second.

Thanks for the correction but the corrected spilt for the last 2000m is still sub 12:30 pace The dynamics of his teammates during the interview let me know he is now killing their workouts. If he TRULY stays 100 percent healthy he will challenge all the American Records from 3000m to 10000m and maybe WORLD RECORDS in the 2000m indoors, 3000m indoors, and 5000m indoors and outdoors over the next few years.

I hope Grant runs world indoors. With Aregawi pushing the pace, I could see Grant dragged along to sub 7:30.

I think WRs in the 2k/3k are overly optimistic. The 5k may be attainable, but it's a bit soft, and there are other athletes who could also break it. If Fisher gets under 12:49.60 in an indoor 5k, it will likely be in a fast race with the best in the world (Aregawi, Cheptegei, etc.) as opposed to an attempt... unless they decide to dedicate an attempt to it at the BU track in the future.

I don't think dragged would actually fit the outcome if they raced in 2022. Who is to say Grant wouldn't win the sub 7:30 race against the Ethiopian? This was after all just his opener for 2022, but I keep saying the interview tells it all. Grants confidence and comfortable being center of the interview and his teammates accepting his new role during the interview.

You can tell from the interview. Grant's teammates already expected he will be tougher to beat in 2022 and one of his teammates is a 12:47 5000m man with Olympic silver and World bronze medals.

On that point about his teammates, how good of a guy is Ahmed? Very impressed with his composure and perspective on things in that post-race interview. Very humble, giving all the attention to Grant. He’s definitely under-appreciated. FFS- 12:47, and two time Oly/WC medalist.

Both of these guys can destroy their current 3000m PRs right now. They almost did it finishing last night’s race!

Both of these guys can go 26:40-:45 right now as well.

I agree with you as Ahmed and Marc both are improved runners from their already impressive personal best. I'm just wishing the group stays healthy as this is just most of them first race is 2022. The 26:40-45 estimate you made maybe somewhere close to what Grant and Mo could do later this year if not alittle faster.

If he stays healthy and no one breaks it in the next year or so, I can see Grant getting the indoor 5k WR. That 4:59 last 2k shows insane fitness, and if he can build on that for another year, I can see him running sub 12:50 indoors. Honestly, he might be in shape to break it a few weeks from now, but I think he'd do Worlds instead of a record attempt, and it sounds like Jerry wants him to focus on the 10k trials anyway.

Honestly, any AR he targets from 3k-10k is his for the taking at this point. Obviously the outdoor 5k, but if he sets his sights on the 10k this season, I think there's a really good chance of it going down, which sounds crazy because I think it might be the strongest distance AR. The 3k/2mile indoor records might be harder for him to break, but after that 4:59 close, I wouldn't put it past him if that's what the focused on. 

By the end of his career, I'm predicting he breaks 5 and 10k outdoors, and maybe the half marathon record. I'm only not predicting the 3k/2miles because I think Teare or Hocker will get them first.

Moh Ahmed is a great teammate, as you could see a couple years ago when he paced Kincaid, Lomong, and Centro about 11.5 laps into their 12:58/13:00 race and in this interview where he actually supplies evidence of his fellow Canadian's (j/k) talent, running 3:59 with soccer and a few 400s, he says. But Ahmed may still be the top guy in the group outdoors. He had a 13:05 indoor pr before the 12:47 outdoors, I think. At this point, there's no doubt that Grant Fisher is in shape to break every American outdoor record from 3000 to 10000m. Closing in 4:59, he ran his last 2k at American record pace for the 3k (7:29 outdoors, 7:30.16i). So, he can certainly go under 7:29. 7:25-26 would not surprise me after this. And he may run 12:45 and 26:40s outdoors even if the BU track is a trampoline.

Rojo, why did Grant get a blank page but Elise didn't?

As for Marc Scott, after this 12:57, he'll put a scare in Mo Farah's British record outdoors, and probably even get it, as it's only 12:53, much slower than Mo was capable of.

Does WADA up the amount of random drug test he gets or no?

Probably not after just one insane race but why bring up drugs, I would be very surprised if anyone in the group was on drugs.

The outdoor 10k record should be very doable based on his fitness. He ran a 27:11 a year ago in his first ever 10k before getting more experience at the Olympics. His fifth place showing at Tokyo tells me he can hang with the best, so 26:40 is reasonable.

My hope is that they stay healthy and big things will come later this year.  Sub 26:40 and if Grant and Mo both medals in the 10000m...wouldn't surprise me.

In the US, but not in North America. He's got a long way to get to Mo's level.

The 5000m isn't like the 2 Mike it's run in several meets indoors every year.  Only 4 men have run faster then Fisher and they are  Kenenisa, Hailey, Daniel Komen, and U20 phenom Isiah Koech  at 18 (now 27 yes old).  Fisher is ahead of GOAT Eluid Kiochoge.

Fisher and Mo may not have Mo Farah's medal haul but they are not way behind Mo top fitness level by any means now.  Who  would thought No Ahmed would improve his indoor national record by +5 seconds and lose.  Lose no less to Grant Fisher!  Lose by almost 3 seconds by such a devastating final 2000m, mile, and final 200m. 

No one would have best in any of the above scenarios.  So what make you think those two aren't on Mo Farah's fitness level now?

AIU be licking their lips.

Wait didn't someone from that group get banned last year?
