You can't just look at the PRs. Context is important. During 2014 he was still working at McDonald's, probably training much less and less effectively than now.
You can't make a comment about not knowing context and then make up your own.
And what you say is not relevent. Its not like he got a contract last January so he could quit his job and then train.
At some point, he had to turn around his training. His result only turned last summer. What was the turnaround in training that he wasn't able to do before?
And I want to pre-empt this common argument from other events (the "just look at him, he is so well built, of course he is going to be better). I wager that he is too muscular for the 800. Something has to be powering that body around the track, and its more than the natural engine that got him to 1:48.
