If anyone is interested on a Centro Update - he posted on IG that he did a TT today but no specifics about time or distance, so I had a look at Travis Thompson (runs @Elevation0m Media on IG) IG account and he's posted saying he paced Centro: "Pacing and filming duty combinations are always a bit tough, but I managed to set pace for a 2 rep time trial (actual reps were longer than my pacing duties) of: • 1:54 (57 high, 57 flat) for 800m, followed 8 minutes later by a 51 second 400m."
Honestly: results or GTFO. He ran a 404 mile while in Hawaii. I'm not buying the hype.
Let's think which is more likely?
1. He ran a monster workout that indicates the best shape of his life
2. His friend is trying to start clickbait
the 5K was 6weeks ago, and a single Mile race is never a great indicator of fitness - we see elites every single season be in the shape of their life during the summer and still have a bad 1500/Mile because of how it was paced or whatever, plus add to that it was on the road and not the track..
I'm not sure why I'm defending him because I'm not convinced he's in PR shape or whatever, but saying someone isn't performing just because of a single bad Mile race is lame.

Racing the mile is literally his job. As such, a mile race is a perfect indicator of fitness. It's a better indicator than a workout of an unspecified time and distance (but trust me he's in great shape according to his friends insta)
