Cam Levins

He was on fire last year indoors and carried that through pre 10k when he set Canadian record and fizzled the rest of the summer. This year he doesnt want that to happen so he is focused on the Olympics. Can't hold your best form forever. If he can make it to the Olympics and be in the form he was in when he ran that mile 2 mile double indoors last year or pre 10k he'll be good to go. Also, just so you guys know, he didn't blame coaching for any of this. He said he didn't take a break between indoor and out and went to hard instead and should have known better.

Oh yeah I totally forgot about the mile / 2 mile double. That was great race by him and Blankenship both. I guess I expected more out of him after the 10k and just more in general. I really hope he medals at the Olympics. Do you think he'll run 5 or 10 or both??

Good to hear he took a rest to recover and is wiser now as a result of burning out from an extensive training period with no breaks. Taking a break between seasons allows the body to recover and reach an even higher peak the next time.

I think he can go sub 27 this year in the right race

Okay so don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Cam Levins fan.

I even ran a ton of miles in college and would picture myself as him and such.

WTF

What's up with his NOP career? His 3k last night was seriously sub par to his capabilities. Granted it is mid January in an Olympic year, but still.

Will he run the 5 and 10k at the Olympics?

What do you think about his insanely high mileage at southern Utah and dropping down with NOP. How do you think that effected his fitness?

Cam will kick some serious a$$ in August. It is January of an Olympic year. Patience, grasshopper, patience.

I hope so!! 5 or 10k though?!

Plus he got bronze at the commonwealth games 10k against a pretty decent field.

That was a good race! He coulda medaled at the 5k as well. He could make the Canadian team in 1500-10k if he wanted

I'm a big fan too, but I'm guessing K5 isn't.
