Yes, Yared, run the 5000m
No. Y Nuguse, get your 800m & 1500m times down while your young enough to tolerate the intensity of 800m & 1500m training, always can move to 5000m later. There is no one clear dominate 1500m runner in the world at this time. J I looked like a beast at 5000m this summer. This web site is skewed toward 5000m to ultra gals & guys. This web site tells everyone to move up to the next event.
You realize that he used to acquit himself quite well against his now teammates, Garcia Romo and Hoare, when they were all in college, right? Those guys have done pretty well internationally in the 1500m so far.
They've both moved passed him in the 15 since then, but we'll see now that Nuguse is healthy. He was great against college guys, but I don't think he quite has the wheels for the 15 at the next level.

Yeah no. Maybe you’ve finally learned.
Man I'll say this - that was impressive and unbelievable at the same time. He's the Daniel Komen of this era in that his form is a little ungainly and he doesn't look like he's moving fast at all - except he is. That was incredible.
One thought - “the shoes” not taking anything away from the hard work & training but ….. “the shoes”
Cushioned track spikes? Maybe helping him not get as beaten up in workouts but that's an efficiency not enhancement situation. In terms of helping him in a mile? Far too short to be experiencing much benefit from cushioning, sorry.
