Spoke to Joe Klecker at the Boston 10K this morning. He said he is not surprised that Americans Nico Young and Graham Blanks both ran in the 12:40s at last week's DL 5,000 in Oslo.
"Shit, I ran 12:55, and I’m not as good as Graham and those guys."

What a cool idea.
And what a career Jenny Simpson has had. Three World Championship 1500m medals (including gold in 2011), Olympic bronze, made every US team from 2007-19. AR in steeple, too!
America’s greatest-ever female miler and a class act all the way.
📅 Come on by to the @nycmarathon Expo (Javits Center) for a live chat with U.S. Olympian and On Athletics Club star @JoeKlecker next Saturday at the @CitizensBank Stage.
Open to the public and free to attend.

Yared Nuguse is going for the road mile world record tomorrow in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The record is very gettable for Nuguse — 3:54.56 by Emmanuel Wanyonyi from April. Makes sense to chase it. Cash in on those WR bonuses before the record gets too fast!
