I think he could run a 2:10 by cruising for 23 miles and dropping a 14:00 5k and get 3rd without any tremendous effort or change in training.
1. It'd be a good training run.
2. He can make the olympic team as a backup although he's pretty much assured to go in the 10k.
3. Is he going for the 5k?
3.5. How freaking stacked is the 5k field going to be at the trials?? Possibly not that stacked.
4. It is november so my questions about track are inane in nature.
