Is Paris Hilton fun?
Does he think he could have similar success at 1500 if he switched events?
Get contract figures. Knowing he signed is great but ask about how much it's worth.
Was your book that is coming out this year that will unveil the realities of professional track and field in the USA a big factor in this decision? Was Nike mad that you are going to write this book?
Have you ever realized right before the gun goes off that you have to go #2 (bathoom) and what is your mentality at that point? Just squeeze the cheeks a little tighter?

Amen. There's no reason for this to be such a mystery in track and field. What's a top level American and global medalist making? $45,000? $450,000? What is it?
In a Flotrack phone interview they already posted, he said something about "they way Nike is writing their contracts these days" or something along those lines. Of course he's not going to say what specifically was in the contract, but can he talk about what sort of trend he was referring to? Changes in base salaries versus bonuses? New restrictions on athletes outside marketing opportunities?
1) How long is your longest long run in training, and what role do you think it plays for an 800m runner?
2) Do you think the outdoor 1000m record (Noah Ngeny's 2:11.96) is something you could conceivably go after?
Ask him if he knows who owns Brooks. For someone (presumably) getting paid handsomely by them, he should.
Did you ever confront Nike about your problems with them?
Would you rather fight one horse sized duck or 100 duck sized horses and why?
who would win an 800 between him, Aman, Rudisha and a grizzly bear.
Does money equal happiness?
With so much talk about moving to 1500, worried you won't have a stud like Wheating to train with?
If a marathon were run on a track could someone get lapped and still come back for the win?
