mottram cant run a few weeks ago, not he's beating bekele by 5 secs and running away from him in the final lap?

Bekele runs 12:48 and another sub 12:50 a little more than a week ago and he now run off his legs. the guy doesn't get tired and especially when 30 large is on the table.

mottrams training group is doing something that is not being picked up on. Wellings, who has improved more than 20secs in 3000m this year, is also in the training group.

dont give me 'hard training'....thats just buls*it. it is something they are doing behind closed doors.

F off twit

consider this... how good it must feel to run at 7:32 pace with a mullet flapping on your neck. i could only compare that to swimming with dolphins.

(by the way that you were watching me)

I hear what you are saying but here is my perspective. To me, it appeared Mottram overtrained, got worn out, and decided to bag the season. However, after some rest, he began feeling better and snapped back. Clearly, he caught Bekele tired at the end of his LONG season. Is Mottram better than Bekele? Today he was. Notice I said today. Next time they line up, we get the opportunity to see who's better on that day.

"i could only compare that to swimming with dolphins'

that's a hell of a season. He's tired.

There are no closed doors in the Mottram group, just a lot of common sense and belief in our abilities. We hide from no one and have been known to welcome others to come and train with us! Why can't people accept that with a good period of consistent sensible training, the desire to win and focus on a very imoportant race that the person who makes the best plans gets the better result!

wow, bekele ran like shit. regardless, congrats to craig the mullet mottram

is that haircut in style down under? just wondering...

Of course, it is very possible, (Mottram is MY lance as far as turning a blind eye, I'll wait 'till he's proven) is doped as Wellings could be, but I am most disapointed with that haircut. That fashion-mullet really bums me out. He's not even European.

Gotta love that eastern european look!

Sometimes people have off days, it seems to me after reading about Sully on letsrun story link that he was going to have a good one and go for it. Unfortunate because you are right he was ready to go and just happened to unperform today. Yes, he, IF having an ON day could have won.

When does he go for it? He always runs far back and kicks to the middle of the pack at the end. He's often against awesome competition and I respect that. But that's not always the full story. Sullivan's good enough to do what Teg did in his 13:04 and that's 'decide to compete.'

seems Bekele is not the smartest tactical racer out there (e.g 2004 Olympic 5000m final), Mottram took advantage of this and the fact that Bekele is at the end of a long season.

The answer behind the results is Dr Nic! Some call him Bideu I like to call him Dr Nick Riviera! No joke they even look alike.

Dr Nic also took Cath Freeman for 50sec to 48sec for 400m over 1 year!

Bekele said, tellingly, "It was a very hard race. It's very difficult to run without a pace maker"

Because what goes around comes around.

Why has Goucher not packed it in yet?
