In the below article Lagat said he may try two 10000m races in 2011 (one road and one fast track). I have said all along that he could have been a sub 12:45 and 26:30 runner back around 2003. Many will say he doesn't have the endurance for 10000m; however, many said the same thing about Tirunesh and E. Abelygesse (who I predicted would be the next two women under 30 minutes and they were).
Bernard Lagat in my opinion may have missed his opportunity to run a sub 26:30 but sub 26:50 is still a real possibility. My guess is that he wants to test out the waters in the 10000m next year to see if he have a realistic shot at the 2012 Olympic double.
What do you think he will run in his 10000m track debut?
