Struggling to make sense of the Paris 1500m (which was not even a DL race).
-31-year-old Frenchman runs 3:27
-18-year-old Kenyan runs 3:27
-Mills faster than every Brit ever except Kerr
-Festus Lagat, former 800m specialist at Iowa State, runs 3:29.03
Craziness.
1:44.55!!
Congrats to the #PennRelays 800m champion for setting a new Franklin Field 800m Record today at the Penn Relays Summer Showcase presented by @toyota!
The mark gives him the coveted @Olympics standard for this summer in Paris!
Monday: Base Work
@flagat011: 8 miles steady effort + Strides
HR data from @garmin is a good indicator that the overall pace was controlled enough to able be to recover by tomorrow’s session

Terrific 800 at the Track Night NYC. Festus Lagat wins it in 1:45.02, high schooler Cade Flatt runs 1:46.51 for 4th -- the fastest time for a US high schooler in 26 years and just .06 behind Michael Granville's US HS record.
