In the interview, he was saying that he wasn’t that fast in 5th grade— 4:37 1500m & 2:22 800m— and that he didn’t start working on his running form into junior high school. (This made me giggle as I’m not sure some of our pros ever practice their form.) His high school training regimen is fairly typical, about 20km/day.
What ? 4:37 and 2:22 as a 5th grader is INSANE. What’s the world record for that age ? Jakob Ingebrigtsen was only running 2:32 in 5th grade.
