It's called a normal career trajectory for an elite athlete.
Getting faster in your 30s, and setting huge 1500 PRs 10+ years into your elite career, is called a not normal career trajectory.

Haile Gebrselassie is another one who retired less than a year ago. Who else we got?
The testing has changed and athletes are going to either retire or make excuses not to compete at certain events. BTW what happened to Kenny B. And Abdi Abdomino just dropped out of the U.S olympic marathon trials. I tell you the testing is getting better.
You are an absolute idiot.
Thanks my pt exactly...why is this "normal career trajectory" being so celebrated?
Besides, many elites set PBs in their 30's more so in marathon rather than the 15, but Nick Willis did so in the 15, and he still thinks he can get faster.
Teg walked into an elevator I was in the day before the 2013 chicago marathon and I totally fanboy'd out on him - good luck, Teg, hope you run great tomorrow, etc. He was very nice and wished me luck in return. Class act. I wish him well.
