Kejelcha 3:32.xx over 1500m!

As an aside, Amos kicked down Kitilit for a meeting record of 1.44.09. Pity he didn't race in zurich 4 days previous.

12:46 >>>>>> 3:32

He may forever regret not setting up a serious 5000m record attempt while he had the chance.

if you run that through the YT stabilizer it will look a lot better

Thank you for sharing. Kejelcha has run a 3:32 , I think last year or the year before. He is more like Yenew Alamirew. The question mark lies in a race distance beyond 5K but we will get so.e idea when he toes the line as he debuts in the half marathon on September 16th.

Kejelcha could have borrowed from Daniel Komen and drop a 57 lap immediately after the pacer dropped. That would have effectively dropped Barega and Gebhrwet. He would then Have stabilised the pace and coast to victory unchallenged for a $50,000 pay day. The record would have slipped but he would have dipped under 12:50 while the other two would unlikely have been outkicked by the likes of Paul Chelimo.

The slow winning time isn't significant, it's more impressive that he was neck-and-neck with Manangoi after running a lot outside lane 1, and easily beat Souleiman, Iguider, and two of the Ingebrigtsens

This race was just a few days after the 12:46. Obviously YK can run faster.

We'll wait on the half marathon coming up; but I suspect we're seeing the emergence of the next Mo Farah.

Something like that. Except Alberto is getting YK in his prime. Alberto will get him doing those pushups and voila...maybe a world record or two. YK has run 3:32, 7:28 and 12:46 in the span of about 2.5 weeks. Whoa...

Results?

Could be huge. Rumours of his St Moritz workouts are nothing less than shocking.

3:32, 7:28, 12:46 in a 2 week period. I'm not sure how that might translate to 13.1, but I'd say at least 1:02. Thoughts?

59 minute flat in the half marathon.

Where is Kejelcha racing next? Would love to see him paced to 12:39

Also, I think it's fairly obvious that he could run faster right now than 3:32 in a faster paced, time trail like race. As others noted he ran a lot in lane two.

Bekele ran 3:32 without the help of the NOP and Saladbar's special cocktail.

There was two groups, the high octane front group and the low octane/clean group (everyone else).

I think we'd all rather be part of the high octane group up front.

He also ran sub 13:00 off the back half of a 10k. That seems legit, doesn't it? Clean as a whistle!

Kejelcha will never be able to do that in the 10k and it is perfectly reasonable with a slower first half if he done 26:17. 26:17 is literally 13:08 pace so nothing crazy about running a sub 13 although it would be crazy to imagine anyone else doing it. Kejelcha is as dirty as a whistle that has literally been left in a sewer.
