    What?

    When your job is professional runner you should be in Berlin running against the world’s best.

    Considering he will have several months soon of not having races to travel to.

    I agree!

    As the old saying goes "Strike when the iron is hot". Unless he's injured or not 100% and doesn't feel he has a sub 3:30 in him there's no reason to travel overseas to run slower than his PB. Take the cash at 5th Avenue and shut it down.

    Do you honestly think the Kenyans are running Berlin to "compete with world's best"?

    The Kenyans are competing with the world's best no matter where they go, as long as more than one of them is there.

    Nobody is competing with the world's best at 5th avenue mile. It's a joke media stunt event, not a serious athletic competition, and the world's best avoid it.

    All Centrowitz really has on his resume is the few semi-fast times he was towed to in Europe. He should be trying to go even faster but I guess he feels his career is done or something.

    Centro, in all likelihood, is past the ability to PR. While not old, he's not a spring chicken anymore. Most elites have their PR by age 25. Very few PR after that.

    re: Bad Wigins

    Over his career, Centro has excelled in Championship races. This is the down year between the 3-years championship cycle. Matt has another cycle in him as a 1500 runner. Why should he change his stripes and go for broke this year?

    It's like Mo in 2014, sort of took a rest from killing it on the track (OK, he tried London that year).

    Expect Centro to smell out some medals in the next 3-year cycle.

    The only caveat, some athletes taste gold, then step aside. Herb Elliot. But I expect Centro will be motivated to continue doing what he does best: Collect 1500 medals on the world stage!

    The Kenyans are not in Berlin to compete with each other. They can and have competed with each other a lot this season. They are there to make one last seasonal payday, whether there are other Kenyans there or no real competition.

    He's actually moving to Seattle? I thought UW named him a volunteer assistant coach as a PR stunt. Maybe I'll see him milling about campus then. Probably not though since I've never seen Phoebe Wright
