Is anyone else as excited as I am to see EJ in this steeple? He's off a strong 5k and mile pr very recently...looked good in pacing duties at oxy. Predictions? Sub 8.10?

AR.
sub 8:05
definitely an AR. he could've run under 8:10 at Oxy if he had kept running, and he led the race from the gun
8:05 or so. he will dip under 8:00 this season.
He needs to get out in the sun more, he's white as an albino marshmallow.
8:04
Never heard of him.
I'm going with 8.08.

Well then I will take 8:07!
ummmmmmm
Evan jager is the most fing wierd runner ever. I don't get it why his best race is de steeple yet he spends more time racing the 5k/ mile/1500. Anyways, 8:13.47

Fake it (steeple) until you make it (5000).

Uhh maybe cause he doesn't want to race a steeple every time he runs and you don't run your prime event every time you race...
Galen Rupp's best event is the 10k, but he runs a bunch of 1500's, 3k's, and 5k's...
A lot of people who specialize in the 5k run a lot of 1500's, and maybe 10's
A lot of people who specialize in the 1500m run a lot of 800's, 3k's, 5k's
A lot of people who specialize in the 10k run a lot of 1500's, 3k's, 5k's
A lot of people who specialize in the Steeplechase run a lot of 1500's, 3k's and, 5's
Plus there's not very many big time steeple opportunities, and some DL Curcuit races don't have them

Every steeplechase is thirty five flirtations with brutal humilition.

So is posting on a message board.
Woulda been too hot at Oxy for sub 8:10, but yeah he was rolling as pace maker.
Sub-8:05 for sure. I'll go with 8:01 after that 3:53 mile, depending on the conditions.

Most pro steeplers only do about 3 in a season, it is an injury producing event and I don't think you want to do too many of them.
