You guys are idiots who have no clue as to what it takes to run that fast. Stick with your hobby jogging as real workouts are far too much for you to understand. I've broken 8 for 3,000 and 2:17 for a marathon. You are clueless, give it up!

And I´ve broken 9:40 and 3:10 (I can lie on the internet, too).

Well, you can try, I suppose. But nothing you posted looks unreasonable to me.

You are a liar. There is NO WAY POSSIBLE to get someone's IP from their post unless you are a mod.

as for the poster who ran a sub 8 and sub 2:17, he's legit and runs for the biggest running team in the midwest.

Are those high school times.

or unless someone is smarter than you

Sorry, but you'd spend a lifetime trying to find someone.

Fron another poster:

Also everyone criticizing his 8:04, remember that that was how fast the race went. It's not like the race went 7:55 and he only ran 8:04. The race went 8:04 and he ran 8:04, and was barely outkicked by a very good miler who is capable of 7:52 or so. You can't just look at the time and think that is someone's current maximum performance.

I totally get this and thought about it before posting., seriously though, Matt Jablonski has never run 7:52 and German even out of shape should be cruising by him last 150 or so, even with no speedwork, really , completely different levels. This just is, if you want to make up another FIFTY reasons for the 8:04, feel free, but it is what it is.

Jablonski has run 3:51 for 1500M , 4:10 for the mile and this was a PR(8:10 previously) for 3K, so I have no idea where 7:52 is coming from.

Saw Jerry's men early December, just briefly way out in the mountains. I think it was all of them. Got to mention, they looked real good. They were laughing and joking and all seemed so relaxed. German, to me looked amazing, looked very healthy. They just finished a run. I don't know, everything about him looked so fresh, strong and alert. He seemed tall and powerful looking. They all looked great! Just some skinny on a recent sighting. :)

This has to be the most encouraging news on this thread. Seriously, when I see breaking updates like this, I know German's gonna be okay. If this post is any indication, German will be winning medals later this summer. You heard it from 7Altitude000 first!

Victorious88 Thanks for the high 5! Yes you guys know what I refer to. That moment when your elite runner arrives, and is walking toward you. Maybe your 5 weeks before Footlocker. He is running top tempo distance and speed, top weekly mileage, top interval pace and speed. Your worried so much about his recovery ,rest, foods and hydration. He walks toward you he has a bit of a flush, eyes bit of redness, head down...."You ok man?" .."Ah didn't sleep well, ate crappy." Screw it you say, lets go to pasta diner, eat like a pig, hydrate sleep 10 hours! Other days its different 100%. Think Teg was there, Hill, German, Derrick etc. They all looked like they could have thrown on a suit and met the Pope right there. I must have looked like a guy just crawling out of a dumpster. They looked good.

7:55 this weekend, much better.

Keep seeing guys mention German was targeting USA CC championships, so I get excited, but can't see him registered? Derrick, Ritz, Forys, See and many huge names...German not listed ..yet??? If he is running, I'm going.

Check his latest interviews.

German is not the same that he was.

He stated in Flotrack interview he is running the Milrose 5k in two weeks.

He also hinted that he was not feeling good, but the interviewer was horrible and didn't get more out of him on that issue.

Go to Flotrack and his interview is on main page.

Got it. Thanks. Watching it now.

7:55, 9 seconds faster here. He's well on his way now. 7 more months of health and we'll see something impressive.

Keep coming on German we are just dying to see you back!

per his post-UW Invite video interview, he's in the Millrose 5k race headlined by Rupp & Levins, said he will be "looking for a PB" which I believe is his 13:25 outdoor AJR at USAs right after his frosh college year.

Don't know his indoor 5k pr or if he even has run one.

I'm wondering a bit about a interview I watched awhile back by Chris Solinsky.

Chris was saying what gripes him about us HS coaches. He said he was tired of HS coaches harping against high mileage and hard training for HS Seniors. He did not believe in this, burn out stuff and over training worry. He said it was all a Mental problem with these elites going to college and not showing up in the NCAA's and beyond. Anyway, I feel a positive with German rooming with Derrick and Jager etc. German seemed to light up a bit when talking about his team. Just wondering if these guys are lighting German up a bit mentally and emotionally and a stability is occurring.
