This seems like a very impressive session for someone who's primarily a 1500 guy. And wasn't he dealing with a stress fracture until pretty recently? Jerry doing his thing already.

He is a 1500/5000m guy with a 13:06 PR. It would be shocking is he wasn't well under 28 and even 27:30. Ignoring elevation changes we are looking at like 5 miles at MP(from an aerobic point of view. He probably can't actual run a 2:07 marathon) and 5 at HM. A hard workout but not insane.

I don't have a great grasp of workout paces at that level, but it seems really good to me. That's basically an 8k in 23 mins and 175ft of elevation gain, 3 mins rest, then another in like 22:30 back down if I did my math right. Also that 4:50 mile had 75ft of elevation gain. He hasn't posted anything since August, so why'd he choose to post this? Just to show his fitness?
For comparison, what would Fisher/Kincaid/Ahmed be running this workout in?
Gotta love workout warriors. They run WR workouts then lose every race. I guess whatever makes them happy is fine.
Those first handful of miles were tempo-->threshold pace. The next set was threshold-->slightly slower than 10k pace. For a guy that was 6th in NCAA XC, that's hardly an outlandish workout. It might've gotten tough at the end, but it's not close to workout warrior territory. Now if he ran both sets in 4:25, I'd have a different take. Remember when Ritz ran like a 45:xx ten miler in practice? He was a 12:56 guy.

Teare has a legit chance to break all of Grant Fisher's records in the next 4 years. He ran 13:06 in March with a 4:05 last 1600 and a 55 last lap in poor weather. That was just 4 months after his blow up at NCAA XC.
With a proper build up and proper training, he can threaten Grant Fisher this year. Remember, Teare has better speed and Fisher is not invincible (he lost to Klecker in the 10k).

Fisher is the 12th fastest man in history over 5,000 and 7th fastest over 10,000. He js the fastest non african born runner ever over those distances. Teare could go on to have an incredible career and still never reach those times. And Fisher is still young, so his times might improve.
It's a great workout and one I could never come close to doing. But it's not crazy for someone who's an elite. Also, based on his HR data and elapsed time, it looks like he stopped for a 3 minute rest at the 5 mile mark.

at 22 years old, here were their PBs:
Fisher - 3:39, 13:29
Teare - 3:33 (converted from 3:50.17 mile) and 13:06 with a 55 second last lap
Grant Fisher's 10k record might be safe only because Teare might never run a 10k.

20 people ran faster than 13:29 last year in the NCAA, times are different now, doesn't mean they will run 12:46. Ill take the under on Teare becoming the fastest person ever not born in Africa. Tbf would have said the same about Fisher as well.

USA Championships - Teare 1, Fisher 1
World or Olympic Medals - Teare 0, Fisher 0
Times don't mean anything if you can't get it done when it counts.

Are we seriously comparing a guy who's threatened for world medals vs someone who didn't get out of round 1 in the 15? Teare has loads of potential and may one day get on that level, but slow your roll for a minute.

didn't get out of round 1 in the 15.... with a stress fracture.
