What Adam Fogg(aka Fogg Dogg) has done over the past few weeks is the most impressive feat I have seen in awhile. Adam has ascended from a mid level pro athlete to putting himself into the conversation of an olympian with a chance of making a team to making an olympic final. I remember him running post covid and seeing all his podcasts and as he struggled to make it to an Ncaa final. I know he had an appenedix rupture just as as his senior season at Drake University came to an end. I followed some of his pods over the last 18 to 24 months but my interest in the Fogg-Dogg got peaked a few weeks ago as he won a qualifier for the Wanamaker miler. He ran 3:53.xx to get his invite for todays race. He then took his racing to a whole new level by running a 3 to 4 second pr in the mile to a 3:49.62 in placing 4th in the Wanamaker mile at Milrose. Congrats to him and his coach(not for sure who is coaching him).. Fogg-Dogg had some serious bite today...
Fogg-Dogg, most improved miler in the world and its not even close.d

Agree, great run from foggdogg but he’s not getting a GB 1500 Olympic spot. Kerr, Wightman, Gourley, Mills, Giles, Stonier, then Foggdogg.
Their 1500 team is getting ridiculous

His 3:53 was off a negative split, though amazing negative splits always leave many unanswered questions. Glad he proved himself today

And if he lived somewhere else where nobody knew about him and his story, then he will be called a doper by Message Boards. See, knowing or learning someones story before calling him/her doper helps no doubt.

Not even mad about your post. 100%, Kenyan or whitey, I think the knowledgeable track skeptic will concede that he has not been in the testing pool to this point. so, extremely limited out of competition testing (if any at all).
he will have to prove he is not a doper during his rise better than Mo Katir, that’s for sure.

He has a very efficient / powerful stride, so I can definitely see the talent in his form

It’s not our fault Kenya has the worst doping record for distance running and the second worse doping record in T&F in 2021.142 -
He sees the camera, and photobombs Nuguse's victory pic. Brilliant xD

Fogg's time puts him world #8 all time for the indoor mile + whoever gets added from this race.
He's not just improved - he's a legit olympic threat.144 -

Or prove he is good at avoiding getting caught😂 But that isn’t the point. Spanish kid goes from 3:36 to 3:29 and he is clearly doping. This kid goes from a 3:55 mile to 3:49 and that is just hard work….
And no I don’t think Fogg is doping any more than any sub 3:50 miler. But as was said the standard is a bit different when you have been seeing the name. Instead of going who the heck you go man nice break through after years of hard work.

plus heyward. absolutely stacked team. i wonder if he's regretting not sticking with aus citizenship - they're strong but not as deep as the UK

I don't think anyone who's been watching fogg's YT channel since the start when he was training in Brisbane is surprised at his progression. Just a shame he no longer represents Australia!

Was he in UA shoes?
Could have gone sub 3:49 in Dragonflies and not having to run in lane 2 for the first lap.

All due respect to your post and his run - the improvement is remarkable. But making an Olympic final? What are we even talk about? 3:49.62 in the super shoes era is still solid, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves with him essentially running 3:32. Making the GB team would be in itself an incredible feat, and I’d have him as a big long shot to do even that.
