BEFORE Bobby Kersee even announced Athing would try the 1500m I said she could run sub 4:05 this year.

Now I have been posting over 15 years and this is the first in your face I TOLD you so post from me. Over the years I have been called MANY things because of my love for the sport and my strong conviction of certain athletes ability with my predictions. BESIDES Kenenisa Bekele I have never felt more strongly of an athletes ability like Athing Mu. Faith Kipyegon is also high on my list as she will soon run sub 14 minute 5000m. But back to Athing Mu.

In her range 400m to 1500m Athing Mu hasn't reached her limit and we can expect more NOTABLE personal best across those distances.

I don't get it, a 1:55 800 runner can easily run sub 4. What's the shocking part about your take?

There is nothing shocking about it. The OP has low self esteem.

re: VIPAM

I wanna see her go up against Kipyegon in both the 800 and 1500.

re: it is time

Tuohy livers gave claimed that she couldn't break 4:10. They ridiculed us for the past year. Mubis faster than Tuohy while being an Olympic champion in another event.

It’s the fact she has historically been an 800/400 runner with an elite 49.5 400 that makes this more complicated. Very tough to bridge that much range up to 1500 that uses such different energy systems.

re: VIPAM

as a former age group national champ in the 1500 (15-16 yr olds, the one year she raced it more than a few times) that has gone on to dominate the 800, i find it strange anybody would be surprised that Mu has serious 1500 potential

re: more complicated

Look back at your thread VIPAM, I think I said I thought she could run 4:02-4:04.

I also envisioned it being a different type of race and said that she couldn’t make the U.S. team, so I was wrong, I admit it. Good job VIPAM.

I just remember reading something about the AAU meet several years ago when Mu won all those different events, and watched some of the races on Milesplit. Then the 600 record indoors. There was just something special about her that makes you say “she’s the one”.

It has been awhile since A Mu sprinted f.a.t. 49.xx 400m. How do you know she is still capable on new training program of an elite 400m performance? We haven't even seen a fast 800m this season. When you see the rare high schooler successfully sprint 200m, take a sip of water then immediately race well, 3200m, that's complicated.

Why are there doping comments appearing on this thread?

Seriously...WHY is it because Athing Mu is African American and she stepped up in one season and beat all the other U.S 1500m runners except one in their specialty event?

re: VIPAM

I told you she had the potential and could DEFINITELY run sub 4:05 this year so why are so many posters shocked?
