Yes, because you or some nimwit akin to you says it before every XC, Indoor, and Outdoor track seasons.
And is wrong every year. Eventually, like all runners he'll stop improving...but he's got a lot of upside left.
You think so? Define a lot of upside. The guy has been training like a pro for basically a decade now, I would be surprised if he has a whole lot more improvement in him. I wouldn't be surprised if he finishes his career with prs right at or under 13:00 and 27:00, which makes him one of the best Americans ever, but that's not a huge improvement from where he is at. I don't see him running 26:40 or 12:50, that would be "a lot of upside".
