Luis Grijalva: what’s next for his career?

People forget how young the usual peak age on the track is. There are outliers of course.

Luis is a smooth runner and will be fine once he moves up to the roads whenever that is.

He'll try to snag a medal in 2027.

Why do so many LRers believe everyone should run marathons? It’s no less competitive than track.

because in 2028 he'll be almost 30 and there is more money there

But is there more money to be made from road racing? Meanwhile, if he’s passed his prime on the track, it will be the same for his marathon potential.

youre wrong on both

OK. How much money would he make in either won? Mantz is currently at his peak for 10000m. How much does he make compared to Fisher?

mantz is not at his peak for 10km. most run their 10k pbs in mid 20s. yes, there are outliers. rupp ran his at 28. mantz was better at that event rhree years ago at 25.

fisher will be 30 at next world champs.

they likely make about the same but grant will make more i bet once he moves up. his 2024 was great financially but thats as good as itll get for him on the track

and obviously conner isnt training for 10km as much. he did get smoked at pre classic after a solid boulder bolder

His most important task is getting a hot American to marry him for citizenship.

Because it's so much more inspiring! The longer the race, the more serious of a runner you are! That's why real runners do ultras, and weekend warriors just do 5/10ks.
