Meanwhile, media partner Flotrack has a video posted on its site with University of Arizona distance coach James Li, a former Washington State University assistant coach, who also happens to coach Bernard Lagat.

Li talks about his relationship with Lagat, and how his training has evolved from his time at Washington State to the present.

Lagat is scheduled to make his 2011 season debut at the Millrose Games in New York on January 28th.
