What shoes did Bekele wear in Great North Run 2013?

Bekele is wearing the Nike streak 3, Farah seems to be wearing a streak lt 2 custom, and Geb is wearing maybe the adios?

Yes thank you that sounds right. Do you know which shoes Bekele wore for the Great Ireland Run 2013?

In the Great Ireland Run, it looks like the steak 3s but in the gray colorway

mo farah has some big ass feet

Bekele: Nike Streak 4 skipped last two eyelets.

Geb: Adidas Adios Boost V1. Also skipped last two eyelets.

Farah: Nike Streak LT 3 Custom Colorway. Used all of the eyelets and tied tight because of his slender build. His calves have that typical Kalenjin tribe build, very skinny/narrow just a powerful tendon.

The Ethiopians tend to fill out a little more...all three of these Africans hematocrit & VO2 is a scientific outlier

Can you tell us anything about the loogie hanging off Haile's chin?

That's the Streak 3 not 4 and they haven't skipped any eyelets? Also that is not the LT 3 Mo is wearing look at the front bottom of the shoe the LT3 does not have the outsole curving up onto the toebox like that.

I stand corrected.

I was one ahead on both Streak and LT. Correction streak 3 and LT2. Geb and Bekele though have skipped the last two laceholes. Mo skipped just the last lacehole.

The "loogie" seems to have transpired from the progression of the day's climate starting with high 50s to mid 60s at races end.

Bekele is massive. Always loved how powerful he looks.

Yep, Bekele = GOAT
