Obviously it is ridiculous and silly. Hope Jerry doesn’t make one of the best race tacticians and turn him into basket case like other guys in club who can’t race unless everything is perfect.
But this is the difference between Salazar and Jerry. Salazar would have this be an 800 to get fast; Jerry a 5k for strength (even though Centrowitz is racing 1500). Speed from strength theory works but not enough at Worlds level.

Yep, did the same thing to Lopez Lomong.

Are there only BTC athletes in the field? If so, can it be sanctioned? I know there was some discussion about whether Walmsley’s performance was record-eligible or only an exhibition because the race wasn’t open to non-Hoka athletes. Does that also apply here, or is there a difference between track and road/trail requirements regarding whether the competition is restricted or not?

There's a pretty significant amount of World Championships and Olympic medals attributed to Jerry's coaching. Especially considering he's only been in the professional game about a decade.
