Matthew Centrowitz is running a 10 miler on Sunday morning - Predict his time. Official 2018 Cherry Blossom 10 Miler Thread

58. Michael Wardian 53:54

Is he just getting older, or did he do an ultra yesterday, or was he running with a friend?

He seems happy with the time from his twitter:

I was out there today running very slowly but I had a great time!

Nice job Mo. 7th place and your 5th National record this year. Also fastest time ever for a Hansons-Brooks runner.

Centro is running the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run on Sunday in Washington DC and spoke to Runnerspace which is broadcasting the race for free and said he'll start at 5:00-5:05 minute pace and go from there.

"The goal is to break 50 minutes so hopefully that 5 minute pace feels pretty comfortable, if not, it will be a long ass final 5 miles," said Centro.

Wow.

That was a really exciting running race.

Good coverage at LetsRun.com

It looks like the performance of Centro has gone into the trash can...after leaving Coach Alberto.

Centro is OFF Coach Alberto's "special IGF-1 LR3 cocktail"

Go Chris Derrick (STANFORD = GENIUS) !!!

Chris Derrick ALMOST CRUSHED THE ENTIRE FIELD!!!...in 5th place.

Wow.

Kind of a worthless prediction thread since he said it was a workout and beats running a hard run alone.

So, we're trying go guess a sub max level effort.

Most likely, he runs 49:30 - 49:50; calls it a good workout.

49:30 is pretty good for a 1:53 800 guy ;)

UMMMMM, Centrowitz is a 1:44.62 for 800 guy, according to Tilastopaja his 10th fastest 800 time is 1:47.9, he may have recently run 1:53, but that was a crappy/everything that could go wrong, did go wrong race for him.

Shoutout to Andrew Colley in 10th place after working his way back from multiple injuries and surgeries the past several years.

Here is a REAL running race:

OK???

I feel like a lot of you guys took this much more seriously than Centro actually did. Check his Instagram post about it: https://instagram.com/p/BhUJT_EHU61/

In conclusion:

1) The running career of Mr. Matt Centrowitz JUNIOR...is....NOT OVER.

2) LetsRun.com is really stupid.

Can someone explain this poster to me? I don't follow him but he is posting random stuff but I'm not sure what his agenda is.

But he uses lots of ... in his names. Posts a lot of TMs in his posts. Just strange but feel free to fill me in

. We gave him a timeout and he's back posting again but the same stuff.

I don't know who this dude is, but I also don't really see what's wrong with his post.

Damn! We had the Pepsi Invite today...Acadia, Paris & Rotterdam...Cherry Blossom...Commonwealth Games BUT the 'how many sexual partners' thread will have more interest than all 6 of these combined.

You aren't really surprised or disappointed are you? This behavior makes perfect sense if you just think about the typical LRC reader/poster. He already knows a lot about running and racing, so chances are he's not going to learn a lot from reading about another race or two.

Sex, on the other hand....

PS Thanks for the commentary below.

This is like asking what Wejo could run right now. Who cares, his fitness is terrible. His goal is sub-50? 50 minutes is like 30 seconds per mile slower than he should be capable of running. I'm guessing 51, out of spite and indifference.

I care. What could wejo run right now?

He has a really telltale style. He embeds videos or articles in most posts, and has some powerful, weird concluding sentence. He's also the Sky.Shiva poster. I assume he was the Stanford poster praising/insulting Chris Derrick from earlier in the thread. As best I can tell, he's British, anti-NOP (but weirdly Pro-Matt Centrowitz Sr.; he keeps posting that one race where Centro Sr. beats Alberto), anti-doping (so therefore against the Sky cycling team as well). He also seems very anti-Letsrun, or at least anti-Brojo. That seems to manifest itself in weird ways. He extolled the virtues of Flagstaff last week, proclaiming the greatness of Andy Trouard, whom you guys didn't give much of a chance in your preview, or something.

In sum, he's equally as idiosyncratic as calculo/ventolin, while using a different username every time.

He's mental... Please ban or shadowban him

He originally posted as "rjm33" starting a few years ago. Obviously lives in Flagstaff. Was funny for about 3 seconds then from there just kept OCD-hammering the same schtick over and over. Definitely in the ventolin mold, but not him.

I don't get it. You're going to ban this guy because he has a tendency to use ellipses?
