What? Robert Farken 3:32.10???

Whoa! What the Farken?

like to help out: Mills and Farken are actually in the same team, on.running europe, with former national coach Thomas Dreissigacker in charge. both times come from the same race in lovely Rehlingen.

their are pushing themselves a lot. Roberts PB was from german champs, a real championship runner with a big heart for speed and Robert with the experience of Tokyo SF and Beograd F plus no more injurys is a thread....well sort of ;)

He only switched to the 1500 seriously in 2021. So this is his third year focusing on it, and last year he had injury issues making it a lost outdoor season. Making the Semis in your first year of focus is pretty dang good. I don't really buy the "survive rounds" thing for 800/1500 types. Maybe that factors into the final, but strength-based guys (Hoare, Tefera) aren't immune from early exits either.

Nice pre- and post race recap from Robert. Fun content #goodforthesport

That is an awesome performance. Rehlingen is such a cool small track meet, I ran there a few times back in the days - great to see that it still attracts basically the entire town to the meeting!
