With his imminent WR attempt, I youtube searched Asbel Kiprop, to see if he had any training videos or anything like that...
And I found a video of him running the Iten Championships 400m, on what looks like a pretty nasty track...

I timed him at 48.9, going through 200 in 24.1, and 300 in 36.1...
Short track? Dodgy timing (slammed book instead of gun! Definitely not FAT!)...
Is this legit? I was quite impressed to be honest, he has such a 'lazy' stride it doesn't look like he's running 12.xx for each 100...
Anyone else care to chime in?
