entrenched myth that endurance lasts longer than speed. The complete opposite is true.
Correct. I was surprised I was expecting my 200 speed to decay first cf 5/10k. Not the case. My endurance fell off sooner (at about 33) and more steeply than my 200, which my flat-out stayed pretty constant until I was about 37.

What are you talking about? That was 14 years ago.

Do try to think a little bit.
Definitely not. I think he could make the Olympic team next year if he's having an on-race, which he clearly didn't at USA's. He's still way faster than the majority of elite US distance runners, along with a lot of international guys too. He ran 3:54 for the mile/7:37 for the 3k indoors this year, plus was 4th at Prefontaine in 13:14 (and beat Rop who's run 12:51, Lalang, and Ryan Hill, who won USA's). I think he's still got a few more years in him before he needs to call it quits. I don't think he's a medal contender anymore, but he's still got room for some success and should continue enjoying the sport!
