Julien Wanders half marathon at Rome predictions

I don't know, but I'm sure Ghost1 has some bold predictions for the SWISS MONSTER.

I'm surprised Julien Wanders is showing up at all. If he can't keep the same speed for 10km that the top European runners will keep for 21.1km, what does he have to achieve here in the first place? For the Swiss team standards? Most likely.

He should think more long-term and not step on the same mistakes again and again. Because one thing is for sure. He will (as usual) start the race like a manian, and fade away after a few kilometers..

DNF or 64mins

We need like an Amazon: 'All Or Nothing' series behind the scenes of his life to see whats going on, because it has truly been calamitous these past years and idk how he's still sponsored

DNF not sure why.

dude needs to spend more time focusing on his training plan and less time moaning on social media about national kits.

At this point he should stop turning up to events until he gets his health/training back under control, because idek how he's sponsored anymore tbh

Does Wanders have a weight training programme? He just doesn't look like an elite runner. He lacks muscle tone, even for a distance runner. His form is also a bit poor at times, under stress he seems to rock from side to side instead of his energy being projected into forward momentum.

Jahrelanges Übertraining – Er spürte nicht mehr, wenn es wehtat

Julien Wanders wanderte nach Kenia aus, um mit seinen Vorbildern zu laufen. Er wurde schnell, doch nach einigen Rekorden überforderte er sich permanent. Nun steht der 27-Jährige vor dem Neuanfang.

about overtraining

Nothing very interesting, usual things an injured athlete trying to get back would say.

He says he had a hard time, he didn't want to train, no he is at 80% of his former level of fitness, he doesn't really believe in his ability to qualify to the OG...

He runs 180km/week (110mi I think).

Question about the current lvl of fitness ok Kipchoge (Wanders implies that Kipchoge may be older than his official age, something between 40 and 45 - I remember an other interview with a french youtuber in which he insinuates the same thing about Kiptum).

He says he cares about what people think of him.

He says he is well-integrated in Iten and in Kenya. He doesn't like neither need comfort, and prefers simplicity.

They also talk about :
- doping (he had 50 controls the year he broke european records, these days about 10-20 per year), especially in Kenya

- the development of running mass tourism in Iten (he made a politician answer

Finally, he says he doesn't believe in the "natural superiority" of Kenyan (or East african in general) athletes.

Bad english, hope it's understandable

Thank you very much.

DNF for Wanders. Crippa FTW.
