Renato Canova thinks Bekele is making the right call by running Dubai and London - Doesn't think he'll get WR

Mo will murder Bekele in the 10k if he shows up 2 take the crown 4rm his rightful owner .. Mo will beat his ass without hesitation or mercy

If Bekele beats Mo, will you accept that I stick an aubergine/egg plant up your rectum?

Ridiculo

And he knows KB a lot better than you. You just have poor reading comprehension.

Hey troll pup.

No. You are wrong.

Your brain is full of sh*t.

Have a nice day.

hey rim jim, you are wrong.

Waittt... so back to the interview, RC says Dubai will be used as a "long specific"?????

That's hilarious. .in your preparation for racing a marathon, actually racing a marathon would be about as specific as it gets, I guess?

I'm betting KB will drop out somewhere 30-35k and save the real full effort for London. Just a "long specific" training run. Of course, also collecting some nice appearance green in the process.

I appreciate your Bekele support. Probably even more than I appreciated JAKIR's support of Maklouhfi, simple because I actually really like KB, doped or not.

Exactly.

My reading comprehension is fine.

I don't have a huge problem with reading comprehension... like rojo does.

The more I read about what Renato said about Kenenisa…the more volatile my emotional state becomes.

(My emotional state is already volatile because SUPERHEROâ„¢ Abbey D'Agostino is training with Team NEW BALANCE (non-Nike) in Flagstaff right now. They have all joined the anti-Nike Stupid Sub 2:00 Marathon Project Boycottâ„¢.)

Look at this part about what Renato says about Kenenisa:

".. se non ha una gara abbastanza vicina, diventa pigro, si allena poco, mette su peso e poi trova più difficile ritrovare la condizione…"

Oh boy.

Ridiculo.

In English:

...if he does not have an enough close competition, he becomes lazy, he trains not so much, put on weight and then find it harder to find the shape

Oh boy.

Ridiculous.

Renato is saying that Kenenisa Bekele can become lazy, train little (wee), put on weight (become pudgy), and then find it difficult to get into good shape (=out-of-shape).

Better Translation:

Renato is saying that Kenenisa Bekele can become lazy, not train with enough volume or specific intensity at high altitude, and then become a pudgy out-of-shape runner like the the lazy, wee training, pudgy, out-of-shape and recently knighted Brit runner Sir SlowMoâ„¢ Farah.

Oh boy.

Ridiculous.

What do you think about what Renato said about Kenenisa?

I am now in a more volatile emotional state because of what Renato said about Kenenisa.

That is not a big surprise.

Hard to say. My principle for KB is that he is an unfettered badass and will always be ready for some serious damage on race day.

The weight thing I am not sure on. I know I also read some articles talking and KB and Pitsaladis or w/e his name is talking about how they had Bekele eating 1500 kcal/day to get back in shape and lose weight for London 2016. I would disagree it's Bekele being lazy, but I could understand dealing with an injury making you a little unmotivated, combined with not being able to train and burning less calories than usual making you put on a bit of weight.

But lazy or unmotivated? I find it pretty hard to believe. I don't think the fire has died inside of the GOAT yet.

Dear god would I love to see Bekele on the track versus Mo this August. I'm excited to see him break the marathon WR, but for right now I would MUCH rather see him show Mo what a proper challenge is on the track, and am convinced he still has plenty left to do that if his calf will take it.

If Farah loses to Bekele in the 10k championship it won't be first place bekele, second place farah. It will be more extreme; first place Bekele, fifth place farah.

Interesting.

Do you expect Kenenisa Bekele to win the Gold medal in the 10K at the WC in London?…followed by Galen Rupp silver, Paul Chelimo bronze, then Scot Andy Butchart, then Muktar Edris, then Scot Callum Hawkins, then Brit Sir Mo Farah in 7th place (which is the same position Mo placed in his last race in Scotland)?

These are the highest probability expected results for the 10,000m WC in London.

What do you think the reaction of Lady Tania "TIGER kitten" Farah will be to a 7th place finish by Sir Mo Farah in front of the entire British empire???

Oh my.

Correction:

Britexit Empireâ„¢

callum hawkins has been pre selected for the marathon at worlds. I highly doublt he will double up!

kb had what? 6 weeks of training for london? then 5 months training and misses the world record and now another 4 months and he is going after the WR and you doubt it? why dubai you ask?

the same as everyone else with insight has said its waaaaay faster than other places. if you look at the past winners they are 3-5 min slower on other marathons. also if you look at these guys that are running 2:04's in dubai they only have low 28 10k times. based off of this i see kb either dropping just under the WR or smashing it in sub 2:02 as far out of reach as possible, then doing london and running for the W, then going for gold in 10k worlds then retiring.

Does it suck that Farah´s wife is hotter than yours?

I apologize for my earlier attack on your posts.

I didn't realize you were mentally disabled and I should not have made fun of you. Again, I am sorry and totally support your efforts to live a full life and interact with others.

If you need work, you might apply at McDonalds as they are very supportive of people with disabilities similar to yours.

if kennster runs 10k in london, he will be favorite if it is fast run from gun

the indications are that in his berlin run, the increased endurance for M training made up for his loss of speed in past few years, making his 10k ability in berlin very close to wr ability

i reckon his 10k shape in berlin was

~ 26'15 - 26'20

that shape can obviously thrash mo if the ethiopians run as a team

Ridiculous. He would be hard pressed to break 26:40.

26:50 even

Look at Haile G the years he ran his best marathons, 2:03/2:04.

26:52 or something like that.
