My bad he also ran 8:10 at Zurich
Well we had only Keskisalo and then one young women in the world, both steeplers.
Keskisalo is a reigning european champion and he switched his coach last fall. He is coached by Risto Ulmala who was 7th at world championships 5000m in Tokyo 1991, pb 13.21. That relationship seems to work REALLY well because Keskisalo did a new pb at 1500m,2000m,3000m,3000m sc,5000m and 10000m this summer!
Times were 3.38,90-5.00,32(NR)-7.49,05-8.10,67(broked Tapio Kantanen`s NR 8.12,60 from -76 olympics)-13.39,81-29.07,66.
His training is now same volume than before (about 6000km/year) but fewer hard sessions and with better quality.
I don´t know more details though.
