Hobbs has very good range but we already knew that. It is not like he is setting the world on fire. Not yet anyway. He barely won. He seems to be doing well, but remember 1:43.64 ain’t what it used to be. That said, he seems to have the range you might expect from a world class 1500m runner who is a medal threat.

It’s still what it used to be for running the 1500m. Very few of the guys that can run faster than 1:46.4 can challenge Kessler in the 15.

That is simply not true. They likely haven’t tried with the bicarbonate supplement. It is clear that Goose, Jakob, Kerr and Hocker can all run faster than 1:46.

Kessler has better anaerobic capacity than all of them. Though Hocker probably has better top foot speed than Kessler and a bigger aerobic engine, I'd bet Kessler can get lactate readings similar to the top 400-800 guys, probably near 20 mmol. I doubt that Kerr Nuguse Hocker and certainly not Jakob can get that....which is a good thing for aerobic monsters. If Kessler can continue to improve his aerobic engine while still being able to tap into his anaerobic talent (which is actually very hard balance to maintain since lactate kills mitochondria) then he will keep improving and could challenge those guys. His main threat will be Laros and Meyers though. Laros is almost as fast over 800 and can dominate in XC. Meyers is the newest aerobic monster.
Sodium Bicarb is probably on WADA's radar now. ...But not sure how they can reign it in.

Show us the research supporting that claim.
Why would WADA want to kill Sodium Bicarb, a harmless substance ingested orally? (Leaving only 1 condition, "Improves Performance" from the trifecta of "Does the substance harm?", "Is the substance ingested abnormally?", and "Does the substance improve performance?".)

Don't forget Habz. He ran 1:43 last year and 27:44 this year on 10k (without pacers). He's a 3:29 guy and just ran 7:31 on 3,000m this winter.
The 3000 is basically the new 800/1500. Bungy jump shoes allows you to arrive at the last stretch of 3000 with as much left in the tank as you used to have at the 800/1500.

I'm so thankful we have bungy jump shoes now, they make races so much fun at the end
