Next up, heading to Massachusetts for an 800m at the ADRIAN MARTINEZ CLASSIC on June 2nd!
Stay tuned! The season has just begun!

After yesterday's 800m race it would be easy to suggest I'm far out of shape having finished last, almost 2 seconds slower than the guy in front of me. Heck, for a minute I began to believe that too. But after talking with coach and looking back on my training I'm actually quite pleased with yesterday's performance. Here's the thing, I had done one major speed workout leading up to yesterday's race, that workout was on Tuesday. So my 1:48.0 for last place was run almost entirely on the endurance I had built while at altitude. Which, when you think about it, ain't too shabby! Im also healthy, which is the best news. It just looked bad because I was racing the worlds best 800 meter runners. Moving forward, it's speed time. Lots of speed work as often as I can.

Decent polishing of turd.

LOL at trying to justify his performance on social media. Why even post that, attention slut.

Yeah pretty sad. Just trying to convince himself and his sponsors he doesn't suck

More like rolling it in glitter. -
He has no account
-
He agreed with his coach that this non-doping strategy didn't work.
-
If this dufus only did one speed session then he got what he deserved.
-
Wheating is the biggest head case on the track and field scene.
-
when does he acknowledge something isn't working out and look for a change?
-
He's a lanky fragile guy that doesn't seem like he does all the little things besides just running to keep his body fit and conditioned to handle fast training thus why he can't stay healthy unless he stays away from speed work.
This is normal with guys that come from a well oiled machine like the U or O where they have strength coaches and are doing all the little things the ancillary training. He goes pro and all he has to do is train so he doesn't go to practice with Rowland until it's time for the workout and besides that he prolly does his easy jogs on his own then bs's most of the day....
Some guys just can't handle the flexibility of professional running they need the college structure. 3:30 right out of college u wonder why huh!? -
Wanted to close with this... If this guy had the focus and drive like a Sen Coe or Bernard lagat he would have run 3:28/1:43.5 no doubt

"it seems like" ... "prolly" -- How do you know any of this? Based on your post, these are your baseless assumptions, aka complete garbage. -
"I haven't done much speed work" - Every pro after every non-championship race

Quoting my rhetoric doesn't help your argument!
To answer your question it's not an assumption, we know where assuming gets people. I'm speaking based on past experiences seeing it firsthand and from having talk to former Otc runners. -
Such a head case man

Im calling your bluff. Which former OTC runners specifically? -
You guys crying about Wheating's performances have no clue how tough it is at the pro level. That's ok cuz you've never been there but give the guy a break. He shouldn't be the whipping boy just because he happened to run one of the fastest times in American history and can't seem to get back to that level. Who ever gets to the 3:30 level in the first place?
It's not like he's kicking back and resting on his laurels. The kid gives it 100%. He cross trains like a triathlete when he's healthy and even harder when he's injured. He just happens to be injury prone.
I do think he did way better at staying healthy and running faster under Lananna. He only ran 50 miles a week and cross trained his arse off. Healthy enough to dominate the NCAA at both 800 and 1500. Since switching coaches he has been slower and injured a lot.
Having said that, I gotta root for the kid. He's a talented and very friendly guy who takes the sport very seriously. -
Honest, funny, talented, and hard working. Impossible to dislike
