what place did this beast finish in the 3k or 5k? What time is he going to run in the 10k? Looks to me like the numbers are 2-1 in favor of nico right now😂
Let me throw out that if blanks ran a 10k in Nov, I expect he would have been pushing 27 mins also. But there is zero evidence that he was in better shape then than Nico is right now. Nico is clearly better than in Nov. For whatever reason he struggled at the ncaa (sick, missed time in build up, just having a bad day,…) and you would have to be delusional to think it says much about their future relative performances.
Now will Nico actually run around 27? Who knows. That was a big weekend at the NCAA and maybe he is a bit drained. Maybe the pacing or weather is a bit off. If I had to bet the over/under something like 27:10 is probably my line where I would struggle to pick a side. Something like a 27:30 will sort of be disappointing. A 26:55 would be exciting but not some huge break through.
i do love how we have gone from everyone wanting him to run a marathon in 2022/2023 cause he is slow to bunch of people thinking 10k is too long😂
