just saw the interviews of ritz and levins.
ritz has marathon plans, sure.
BUT
he's rounding into AR 10k shape. he should give that a go if he keeps progressing. instead of being obligated to the marathon shorlly after the track season, take a month or so off and hit the marathon rested. i think ritz should even take a shot at the half record before his next marathon.
how about being 5, 10 and half marathon AR record holder?
levins seems mystified about his breathing problems.
he did the big no no (the super long season) ran the college season, then went to the olympics sick and still placed well. this season he should keep it going but not push the envelope too much, and gradually get healthy. good thing he's got al-sal and team to figure out health issues. the criticism here is that he shold have had the lung thing checked out at the time he signed with al-sal.
cam's the best prospect out there bar none.
