Sorry LetsRun fans, Craig Engels wasn't on LetsRun today.
Craig's full quote was, "My teammates are very happy I stuck up for the Oregon Project but obviously there is some backlash from Jenny’s fans, but luckily I wasn’t on social media today or letsrun."
Craig then later very professionally brought Jenny back up to try and temper the situation saying, "I’m sure if we talked in person there would be a little clarification."
That was after he joked he and Jenny needed to settle it with a convo in an elevator.
As for his running, Engels looked great but said he made the three tactical mistakes his coach Pete Julian told him not to make: 1) not to let people around him 2) be in position with 500 to go and 3) don’t leave it to 250 to go.
Craig said maybe he should start slower at the beginning of the race so he can gauge where to be. Today "I thought being on Cheruiyot was a good move and then six guys went by me on the outside," he said.
Despite all of that Craig advanced in style. As for the final he said maybe him and Centro will work together and try and make it slow, but said everyone expected Cheruiyot to take it from a long way out and he thought the medals would go to the people in position to respond. Craig said he wouldn't mind if it was a 3:32 race.
