Hobbs Kessler 3:48.66... sub-3:30 outdoors???

Let's see: the first-place winner in the race--college system; new American record in women's two mile--college system; new American record in women's mile--college system; and new American record in men's two mile--college system.

There was once a fabulous runner, very young who kicked butt. Her name was Tirunesh Dibaba and her nickname was the Baby Face Destroyer. When I look at Hobbs Kessler he reminds me of that, he has such a baby face, but he is a fierce competitor, and I believe he will be force to reckon with the rest of the year. He was cut off in this race, caught off guard before the last lap or he may have won today. The American and world milers/1500m runners need to be aware of this kid. I believe that this year will be a major turning point for him on the world scene.

What does Nico want to say? Thanks for allowing me to be 3rd at nationals instead of 4th.

Let's not forget that Jim Ryun broke the world mile record at 19 and again at 20.

And before that, Herb Elliott broke the record when he was 20.

This is letsrun my guy. People just say things.

The greatest generation of dopers maybe.

People get excited over indoor performances low pressure/perfect conditions. Maybe this is as good as it will get. We have witnessed this before. Many athletes will have a hard time holding this level for 6-8 more months. I hope to see a solid outdoor season for Hobbs.

The number of threads on Hobbs being washed up already and Gwen Jorgensen having no chance at winning a triathlon must be in the 20s as well.

He ran well.

It's not a waste of time, it's just not necessary.

The NCAA system is a US system. There are world records set throughout the world.

Dear Noah, you know something, Hobbs is sandbagging the real reason for his improvement. He claims it's training and adjustments he made in training but I had informed LRC folks and the entire distance running world for the longest time or for the past 1 year it ain't nothing to do with no training lol!! Training is just pure ego (psychological illusion/placebo) with the conditioning and adaptation completely from the ego and not physical or physiological per se!!! There is no difference between Lydiard, Canova, Daniels, Kellogs, Yassos, Norwegian, British training systems, never had been since the creation of the universe!!!! I just need to request God to remove the Sun from the solar system to prove my point that training ain't worth a sh8t!!! Without the Sun of the Solar System, you won't even exist/breathe/walk/think/move/speak no more much less TRAIN lol!!!! Training types are merely an 'intellectual copyright' designed to protect an imaginary placebo/psychological construct but in reality are all the same stupid thing!!! You think double threshold is any different from Canova's higher intensity and longer rest???? Nah man, trust me, I'm a multi-decade distance running expert and pundit with an RF bent, and it's my RF bent that has broken new ground or insight/enlightment into the TRUE NATURE/MEANING OF TRAINING AND ITS EXISTENCE!!!

Dun make me laugh dear all!!! Whatever Hobbs thinks he has done in his training that seems to make him faster is completely an artifact of the entire training experiment, an illusion of mind/psychology that is. Instead, the real reason which he knows is making him faster is his lack of online attendance on LRC messageboards of late just because I started actively warning and teaching all LRC folks and all distance coaches of the earth the supremacy of RF theory and/or protection from anthropogenic RF and EMF exposure.

Hobbs is spending more time AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER'S MICROPROCESSOR WHICH EMITS 1-4Ghz RF, HD LED display screen which turnovers at 120Hz, bluetooth 2.45Ghz, mobile phone of course with a range of 700Mhz to 6Ghz although he might still be exposed to transient shorter-duration RF and EMF in the course of day to day activities that cannot be help or avoided!!! But just the REDUCTION is already enough to CAUSE a rejuvenation in his nervous system to run 3:33 and 3:48 albeit of course on supershoes----never ever forget this enhancement!!!

Mark my words, Hobbs is not going to admit he benefitted from my advice because in general there is stigma or stereotype associated with people who advocate and practice RF hygiene!!!! It's a similar stigma that some people might have for perhaps homosexuals or transgenders or schizophrenic folks right????

So yeah...........Hobbs is not going to admit he is taking my superior RF advice!!!

Thank you :)

He’s definitely not washed. He’s only 20 (almost 21) and still improving. He is one of the greatest talents ever born on American soil. I think he can be one of the very best ever. But, given the hype and expectations bandied about on here for some three years, it’s time for him to do well in a championship track race. It’s time for him to make an Olympic team. And it’s time for him to go close to sub-3:30 because the bar has been raised. Guys are running a second per lap faster now than in the “old days,” partly because of the shoe technology.

Believe me, I’m a fan of this kid, and I’m actually glad he stayed with Warhurst.

Mate chill out on whatever you are taking

There was a time when college runners raced more often. They seem to be racing less often now- some may double at an April Relay meet.

But they're not running dual meets anymore (yes, they used to all the time).

Even in cross-country they race a couple times before Regionals and NCAA's.

I don´t knowif it has been discussed on other threads but I agree completely that Mills -with his clumpsy move where he almost tripped Kessler - destroyed Kessler´s change to challenge Nuguse. So Kessler could at least have got a faster time if not being disturbed.

Hi dear, not sure what you are talking about here but it sounds very disrespectful like I have experienced with others in the past! You seem like trying to create and uphold a stigma around me did you know that? I'm just trying to raise the point that I haven't seen Hobbs Kessler on LRC messageboard for ages now which is quite obvious good sign that he is getting lesser and lesser anthropogenic RF and EMF exposure from either mobile phones and/or laptops/desktops which then naturally already rejuvenates his nervous system to be ready to race hard and fast. It's superficially related to his training. Training is not the main actor of his sudden improvement or rise to stardom! 3:48 for him??? I never imagine that was possible until I detected that he hasn't been on LRC messageboard OF LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I knew and deduced he finally takes my advice even without direct communication with him.

Yes I felt the same too. Kessler was definitely good for a faster time. The gap between him and Nuguse only increased negligibly in the last lap after the trip-up. It seems like my dear Kessler was really good for a 3:48:00 today which I have been trying to convince all of you LRC folks has nothing to do with his changes in training! It's rather instead to do with lesser exposure to anthropogenic RF and EMF. Period!

The USA trials 1500m looks like it will be a great race. Lots of chances and Kessler appears to be one of them.

Yes in 6 short weeks of taking my advice on avoiding and protecting from his own anthropogenic RF and EMF electronic devices, Hobbs has shot to stardom that almost an entire life or year of training couldn't do!!! I would rank Hobbs ahead of Cole Hocker right now, I can't see Cole running 3:48 for the mile but I can see Hobbs running 3:47 right now due to my superior 'cheat sheet' advice!!
