WTF is with all of the speculating with Fernandez peaking too early or running to harder in this race? All three are great, but Fernandez is beginning to show that he is the best. That's why he won.
Anyway, he said in his interview after the 3:56 mile that he has been doing primarily base work with like a 10x400m workout before the mile. There is no conclusive evidence one way or another that any of them are in different parts of their training phases.
Easy bud. Luke not racing until today is some evidence. Why would Luke not run a race by now if he wanted to qualify for NCAA's? And also to sharpen up for today? Unless he is not concerned with being fit yet. No "evidence" for Derrick.
One other thing to consider, how did Ok. State finish at NCAA's? Even if you spot Fernandez a top 5 finish that's pretty much where Luke and Derrick finished, yet their teams came through on the right day. Soooooo, just speculating, but Ok. St. has a little more to prove in terms of peaking correctly. His opening mile leads me to believe he's coming with a vengeance right now which is awesome, but certainly not conservative.
Sorry man, thems the facts. Like I said, German is good enough to peak early and still finish fantastic if injury free. Everyone knows he's great and his future is ahead of him.
