ED CHES--MADNESS WORKOUT---SUB 3:50 SHAPE!!!

Happy to see Ches in good shape. Have been following him since he was a high schooler. It’s great to see he’s found a new up and coming Coach in Haas. He is in safe hands!

Can we get more info... this actually sounds like something that Ches could do, but on the other hand could easily be a complete troll.

In the BroJos article Haas said they hadn’t done anything special... if this is true, he was probably trying to keep things under wraps for a reason.

Gonna report if this is just a troll. No need to start a fire you can’t put out.

Yeah I agree.. no sense in crying over spilled milk. I don't doubt Ed could do this but we need to know your supposed "source"

Surprised no one has leaked this yet, considering how quickly it has been spreading through Eugene and surrounding area. I am a high school coach in nearby Marcola, OR and a buddy of mine on staff at U of O texted me this earlier today...

"Ches going to run well under 3:50 this weekend at BU. Ran 3x800 last week in 1:49.8, 1:47.7, 1:47.3..."

It looks like new coach Stephen Haas has figured out how to take KING Ches to the next level. My guess is 3:47.9 this weekend at Boston. Hope the running world is ready for someone of this talent...

What was the rest?

More like sub 3:40 shape!!! World record material!!!

Hmm. If you are a high school coach in Oregon, then why are you posting from Illinios? And then why are you replying to your own post under a different handle - writing boht as tzzy03 and yoyo90 .

Even though you are a troll, I'll address your argument.

Let's don't get carried away here. I'm happy to see Cheserek is doing well. The only thing that bothers me is is 100% don't believe he should hold any US HS records due to questions about his age. Well not even questions. By his own admission he was at least 19 in February of his senior year. If you are 19, you should be in college.

But now he's listed as being 24. Do you think the World hasn't seen a sub-3:50 miler at 24? You think that's unprecedented. Really?

It's only making big waves because it's indoors. In my mind, indoors is probably almost just as fast as outdoors for the mile. There is zero wind. Temp is 70.

Anyways, 3:50 is equivalent to 3:32.9 for 1500. Last year, there were 12 men that broke 3:33 for 1500 and 5 of them were younger than Cheserek who was born in 1994 - Timothy Cheriyot (3:29.10, born in 1995), Ronald Kwemoi\ (3:30.89 born in 1995) , Charles Simotwo (3:32.59, born in 1995) , Yomif Kejelcha (3:32.04, born in 97), Justus Soget (3:32.97, born in 99).

Kejelcha's listed age is 3.5 years younger than Ches.

When Caleb Ndiku was Cheserek's age, he had already run 3:29.50 in the 1500, 12:59 in the 5000 and won World Championship silver in the 5000.

So yes, I think the world is ready for someone of his talent. It's running on the DL circuit every single year but your Western bias has prevented you from appreciating it.

Don't misunderstand me. Cheserek is a beast and it's great that Americans are paying attention to a Kenyan talent and recognizing it as being something special - it's just sad that they have to go to school over her (and enjoy all the advantages of the Western world) to be properly appreciated.

I don't believe that workout at all.

Sorry, that was my brother-in-law posting on here. Am visiting their family in Illinois.

I do believe you make a great point about Kenyan's needing to come to America in order to be properly recognized, although I think you are being ignorant to suggest Edward was not in 3:29 shape or sub 13:00 shape at some point in his career at UO. I also believe he is 24 and the age accusations are getting old.

All things considered I think he is the brightest young talent we have in the world, maybe Korir or someone we have yet to see could be better but Ed is the real deal. When he runs 3:47 this evening you can site all the men under 24 who have run that indoors in world history.

He ain’t running 3:47, troll.

More like 3:30 shape!! He goinga crush that mile!

Did some mention milk?

Again: what was the rest?

omg rojo give it rest.

How many of those people ran that indoors?

Surprised that rojo defends Fred Kerley's 44.50 time trial and yet hates on Cheserek.

Fred Kerley just graduated last year from Texas A&M and is already 22. Cheserek is only 24 and graduated two years ago.

If you believe Ches is 24 then you had better make sure you have intelligent friends with you before you make any major purchases. Ches is 27. At least.

This is similar to all the fools who believed that Nijel Amos was actually 18 at the London Oly final in '12, when he was actually 23 (as was Aman, whose own agent at the time admitted that the claim of being a teen was bunk).
