In the past few years, practically no one has come close to the 5k and 10k men's track record. In addition, the 3:26 WR for the 1500m has stayed since 1998. Is this because going after other records such as the marathon is more lucrative?

Kiprop certainly has the capacity. 5-10k are weak right now.
Not sure why you say no one has gone after the 1500 WR since kiprop ran 3:26.69 the other week, but for the 5k/10k? Nobody wants to suffer that much for that long, I guess.

Those records are THAT damn good. How can anyone go after them when they are not anywhere close to them in the first place?
