as it turns out now, it was an even smarter move. He goes to college , wins way lay hardware than Cheserek and gets no where near what he gets now, not even close
But “oh oh… he gets that unforgettable College experience and oh oh those lasting friendships?” please
ask Cheserek how that worked out and no one won more s—t than he did
Rexing..your point about trading the money for faster marks, is one of the worst points made on this. Its pretty clear now, that he was not going to ever run 12:53, or 3:50.
His biggest challenge which is obvious to anyone, is his form, it is a lurching "pull yourself along" style, running fast is not as easy to him as it would ever have been to Fisher.
Getting paid along the way, or going to this "Holiest of grails" NCAA show, is simply an absurd comparison .It really is. Getting a jump start on life with $2.5M starting stake in gross wages by 28? Is guaranteed to no one.
Because no coach has ever improved someone's form???? That fact that he ran 1:48 and 3:57 in high school with crap form tells me he could have run much faster if someone worked on his form.
Now we know he's not mentally tough enough to run fast times. He's lazy. He's afraid to train hard. If he wanted to be the best, he wouldn't have picked mommy to be his coach.

Out of curiosity is there an elite level athlete that completely changed/"improved" their form and ran faster?
I know Al Sal was really into the whole "more economical" running form thing. How well did that actually work out?

Funnily enough, Fisher. He used to look very very robotic (even more robotic than he does now) in high school, and now he looks more natural. He said that he did form work at Stanford. Not sure if he's doing that at BTC still.

usually by the time they are pro/college level I feel like someone has fixed their form by then to some degree

So Fisher is one I'll look into for sure. It looks like it's a minor change in form. I was hoping for some bigger changes (like turning Drew Hunter into a Rupp or something).
I can't think of any major athlete who has preached that "My coach made X change to my form and now I am exponentially faster"
Heck, Fisher and Centro run almost identical so I wouldn't consider either form needing any real changes.

Flanagan with John Cook. Her form wasn't terrible beforehand, but it really transformed under him once she came back in 2007-2008 after surgery. Became super economical. From what I understand, he focused a ton on drills and circuit routines for this purpose.
I appreciate that he finished the race - would have been super easy to step off the track and DNF after seeing those laps, but he stuck it out and finished. Not easy to see results you don't want but always more admirable than dropping out because the time isn't what you want. Hope he can brush it off and move forward

The bigger problem, I suspect is that is form is a function of his biomechanics, and that they predispose him to injury.
It's not so much that you can't run fast with that form, it's that you can't do the volume and intensity of training needed to run world class times with that form/biomechanics.
It was a smart move to take the $$$ as there is no way he would have been worth that out of college. His best chance of staying around as a competitive runner is to go to the USATF Road circuit. Plenty that you can achieve there as a national elite who is one level down from true world class.

Yup this was exactly what I was going to mention. Fisher's form used to be terrible. Go back and watch their 2 mile in high school at Brooks PR.
Coaching can absolutely help change someone's form. In fact, most high level programs, whether D1, D2, NAIA, etc have specific coaching and drills to assist with form. Go look at a school like NAU. Every single runner looks the exact same. That is not a coincidence. Hours are being dedicated to make sure their form is as efficient as it can be. "Is there an elite level athlete that completely changed/improved their form and ran faster" is just an absurd question to ask.
as it turns out now, it was an even smarter move. He goes to college , wins way lay hardware than Cheserek and gets no where near what he gets now, not even close
But “oh oh… he gets that unforgettable College experience and oh oh those lasting friendships?” please
ask Cheserek how that worked out and no one won more s—t than he did
But oh , those lasting memories
Except Hunter doesn't have a fanboy's perspective, couldn't guess what a fanboy's perspective would be, and finds zero consolation in the fanboy's perspective. When he wants to know the 18:00 5Ker's thoughts on how he's doing, he can just ask his girlfriend.
