Birell Prague 10K, WR attack. Barega confirmed

26:52

Weather will be too warm and they will fail.

Battle of the doped-up "18-year-olds." Should be epic! Which Italian coach has crafted the perfect 10K running machine, I wonder!

When I first saw this I was thinking it was a track 10k. That's how crazy the 12:43 was...

Selemon Barega is a 3000-5000m master, but few know he has a lot of experiences for the longer distances too.

He has a 10k PB of 27:47 ran in january 2017, tough cross country course. 12k PB of 33:43, tough cross country course too.

If this guy could run 27:47 on a hard course almost 2 years ago, i'm afraid in this kind of shape, he will run under 27 minutes like it's nothing to him. Forecast has it 67-68F, race is held in the evening at sunset with light winds, so decent conditions. Pacers will go up to 5-6K, scheduled to pass 5K in 13:20-13:25.

If he really goes for it, i guess he crushes Kimeli and Rhonex in the last km's and runs a course record, missing the world record though. My prediction is : 26:50

Any details on other athletes? Any details on pace for split points?

Hello Coefart.

You live in the Czech Republic, don't you?

Why don't you go and voice your East-African PED concerns at the race?

You are such a brave man, beating up the bad guys. I am sure you will feel confident walking into the VIP area with all the African athletes there and calling them age cheaters and dopers, and comment on their receding hairlines.

The field

Selemon Barega (12:43 5k pb, ran a 10k in 27:47 jan 2017 on a hard cross country course)

Bernard Kimeli ( 27:10/59:47 in Prague, course record holder )

Rhonex Kipruto (10k world u20 champ, ran 27:08 on an undulating 10k in central park)

Mathew Kimeli (27:11 PB, ran 27:19 on the same undulating central park course)

Berta Belihu (27:09 track PB, 59:51 half)

Abraham Kipyatich (27:40/60:03 pb) - pace

Soufiane Bouchikhi (13:19/27:41 pb) - pace

Geoffrey Koech (27:44/59:50 pb) - pace

Ross Millington (13:36/27:55 pb)

Zouhair Talbi (13:29 5k pb)

Pace would be 2:40-2:41/km, they would have to pass 3k in 8:01, 5k in 13:22.

Yep. Exactly what it is. Wait'll next year, now that word is getting around that the political forces who allowed the farce of E. African doping to take off have poured more $$$ into allowing Africans to avoid testing, to have positive results, buried etc. (to keep the myths alive, to make Kiprop for example to look like an isolated case) we'll be seeing flotillas of Africans producing ridiculous times. As was predicted when Kiprop's cheating was revealed.

Thanks for an honest post. Anyone who believes Barega is a teen is a full blown idiot.

Typical SJW sissyboy post. One can bet the only thing you say to Africans who take your girlfriend out for a night on the town is that you hope they'll bring her back in time for breakfast. That's when you're not bent by them yourself. Now go back to your soy latte.

Hmm, what exactly is your point here nipples? You seem obsessed with violence. Vladimir Putin visited Prague recently. What if I thought he was a bad man, like presumably you do and most Westerners? Would I be a cowardly hypocrite if I wasn't prepared to attempt to walk up to him and express my concerns about the annexation of the Crimea, or the alleged Russian involvement in the chemical weapon assasinations of KGB double agents in the UK recently?

I'm free to express my concerns about Kenyan doping here, until such time as the Brojos ban me and earn themselves a reputation as doping apologists. To attempt to harrangue random Kenyan athletes at a race would be bad manners, pointless, as well as probably getting me arrested.

Why don't you calm down and make an appointment with a psychotherapist? How can one person on a forum you don't know possibly agitate you so much? Is your life so perfect that you can afford to waste time and emotional energy on a supposed racist on a running board who is angry about Kenyan dopers? You're either insane, or you surely must have some deep vested interest in Kenyan athletics and the doping that's going on there.

LOL at you Coefart.

Another racist post, this time projecting your sexual fantasies. hahahahaha

Well you're the pervert fiend who thinks I'm a bully and a racist for mentioning the fact that Billy Konchellah drugged and raped Finnish children, as well as claiming to have come to the Czech Republic and raped me.

The Brojos really do need to hand over your IPs.

Your obsession with raping children is sickening and very worrying, to say the least.

Billy Konchellah claimed to have gone to the Czech Republic to rape you?

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

I agree Barega is not 18 years old, he probably is around 22. Still, 12:43, is astounding at any age, it simply doesn't matter. And still he has a lot of time to improve.

26:44 is a pretty stout time, and it might be the only sub 27 road 10k. I think anytime you talk about breaking a record, the chance is likely to fail.

It's a shame that so much talent is going after a meaningless road record when they could go for the real record on the track.

As if there's any other psychopathic pervert here who would defend Konchellah's rape of children AND accusations of ped use.

Your obsession with making personal threats of rape and violence against me is very troubling and is going to land you in a lot of trouble soon.

Presumably there's more money for the road wr
