Interesting observation and true. I guess maybe there is more confidence in the ability of an athlete who has proven himself for several years to be able to dominate on the world scene to plan his training properly to peak when he needs to, or even hold form for several months.
I am very happy to see Alan doing so well and want it to continue. But, when improvement is so dramatic I wonder what the training is like and how he will hold for a couple more months. We don't know what his plan is, but if he is planning to peak at the OGs how fast will he be then - will he be looking at ARs this year? I don't think Hicham has raced yet - he is only looking at the OGs. El G. is obviously on a different training/racing calendar than Webb.
I did note in my post about the 10k that Geb has lost but is also probably not too concerned as he is looking a couple months down the road before he wants to be really sharp.
