What has Gabe Jennings been doing recently (serious question

[jweaton]

It was possible to get lots of interesting (well, to some people, anyway) details about Gabe's southern sojourn, but since he's returned, I haven't heard much about what he is really doing.

How about if someone who is in the know could contact him and get some information about what he's doing now? If he's not running, then that's all I need to know. If he is running, then what sort of training is he doing? Who's coaching him? What are his fall/winter/spring plans?

Likewise, for Alan Webb, instead of bashing him for failing to set the track on fire as his appendix exploded, how about if someone who is in the know could contact him and get some information about his recovery and report on how he's doing now? If he is running, then what sort of training is he doing? Is he sticking with his coach from last year? What are his fall/winter/spring plans?

Nobody knows what Webb and Gabe are doing. They are out of the spotlight for now. Maybe that is a good thing.

It is going to be fascination to see what they accomplish at next years trails.

I guess it is now time to start making our predictions for the top 3 finishers at next years Olympic trails.

1. Krummenacker
2 Lunn
3. Berryhill

4. Dark horses, Webb, Gabe, and Stember

Or how about when the heat sheets are posted?

Gabe's probably rolling a big fat one right now.

Webb is plotting his attack on all the naysayers.

Gabe had been training well and may do a low key road race within the next few months. He's contemplating spending some time out in Oberlin, Ohio, training under Lananna.

Anyone with any brains is doing the stamina work needed to excel next year. I am assuming all those named above are gearing up in ways they figure are best for them in this area, and we will all enjoy the results next summer.

Gabe is another unknown factor in next years trails.
Since he has made the Olympic team before he does have the experience and know-how to qualify.
It is just getting hepatitis on the ridiculous bike tour is gong to hinder him. When Gabe got hepatitis it was probably more severe than Webb's burst appendix. Webb is probably just about recovered from his aliment by now.
I have no idea what kind of damage Gabe did to himself on that absurb bike journey.

However, don't count Gabe out. I believe he has a 3:54 mile PR, which makes him when healthy as fast as Lunn.

I've said it before... Don't count out Gabe for Sacramento next year. His parents report he's training with inspiration.

I think he's a 3:32-3:33 guy waiting to happen. A knowledgeable coach/manager I spoke with in Paris who has seen Gabe race and train agreed.

If he's healthy, I think he can get to that level next year. I look forward to watching him reach beyond that in the future.

Krummenacker, if he chooses to run the 1500 at the Trials, is the only guy whose chances I'd rate as better at this point.

I also think he's a wonderful character, and post the URL for the following article, which came out today in Gabe's local paper, both for those who agree with me and those who love to hate Gabe.

For those who think Gabe's bike trip was a waste I can't agree. In 1991 I rode solo accross the U.S. over 2 months, ending up with well over 3000 miles. In the mornings I jogged 3-5 miles before I rode. Less than 8 weeks after finishing the ride I dropped my marathon best from 2:46 to 2:29 - I never felt stronger. The extra muscle I packed onto my legs was a great gift from the ride.

Did anyone notice that it said Gabe would be running a marathon in Oct?

Re: What has Gabe Jennings been doing recently (serious ques

The long bike tour probably totally shot his "sprint" speed. It will probably take more than 9 months to get that back.

That was an error. He's going to run a 10K held concurrently with the Durango Marathon in Colorado in October.

I hope Jennings is able to pull it off. If he does make it back I hope he has learned his lesson about how to handle interviews with a bit more professionalism.

Zanniness is great up to the point it becomes idiocy.
