Webb goes down, Lagat wins

[frojoe23]

You heard it here third or fourth depending on if you go to LetsRun or IAAF, but Lagat wins gold in the 1500 and Webb fades to 8th in the last 200meters. Looks like Lagat had been easing things along in the early summer and spring when Webb was in peak form. Eventually, I hope that Webb learns to follow the same training protocol and not suck late in the year.

Of course, Lagat being a former Kenyan means that he is used to such a late season, while all of the US runners are not - hopefully guys like Webb and Ritz can learn from him.

yeah webb does need to take a lesson or two from lagat when it comes to training for such late seasons.
