Perfect pacing for both races:
Women: 35, 69.4, 70.8, 70.3, 70.0, 70.1, 70.3, 70.9, 69.3, 70.2, 68.8, 65.7, 61.4
Men: 32, 62.4, 62.5, 61.9, 62.5, 62.4, 61.1, 61.4, 61.9, 61.3, 60.3, 59.4, 57.4
32, 4:09.3, 4:06.8, 3:58.4...great pacing, but gotta assume he could run even faster. Wild.

5:00 last 2k for Ahmed? I'm shocked!
The Canadian record for 2k is only 4:59.56
If I worked for Runnerspace I probably couldn’t pay the 13 bucks like you haha.
I have no doubt.

35, 4:40.5, 4:40.6, 4:26.1 for Houlihan.
Just need a steady 4:32.3 pace/1600 for the WR ?
Here's to hoping Grant, Sean & Evan can find another super-fast 5k to race in later this summer.
Great 5k openers for themselves last week --- pace thru 4k was 13:25 and they finished in 13:11 - 13:12 with 55-56 last laps- and now perfect pacing tonight.
One has to wonder just how close these three are now to sub-13 if they had perfect weather and went out at 13:10 pace? Maybe Jerry will set up something for them next month or September with Mo & Lopez rabbiting again.
Yes lagat is still the goat. Postive B sample and all
Do you think we could see a race like that live? Wow, they haven't done races live for years.

Dude, I agree with you but you're getting crazy annoying here. You've made your point. Please stop now. WE GET IT!!!
Hill led the first 2k as a pacer. Got the race going out for these guys.

What a shame that Nike didn't stream this incredible performance live to every HS & College runner shut-in, and every other track fan out there. What a wasted opportunity. How clueless can they be?
What is your problem? You clearly know nothing.

Schweizer dropped PR from 14:45.18 in Doha to 14:26.34.
18.84 seconds faster. Wow!
Did she wear the pogo shoes in Doha?
I don't know about the shoes. But let's not forget that Schweizer was at 15:02 in 2018. She was an "also ran" in June last year at Pre (8:42), then improved tremendously in Doha, 17 sec. altogether, 10 sec. in the heat, another 7 secs in the finale which was astonishing but not enough for best of the rest (Weightman and Feysa beat her in that second group of runners). So we have 36 secs. in two seasons. No surprise Shelby is talking of sub 14....
In light of these ridiculous performances in low-key private club time trials, the obvious question looms.
But at least for the new record a test is necessary, isn't it?
As Houlihan ran already 14:34 two years ago, her improvement is more credibly (although from 2016/17 to 2018 it was also tremendous and there is still the question how someone with a rare medical condition can be one of the best ever distance runners).

I’m with you, my friend.
I’ve been a HUGE Nike fan my whole life. I even have a dog named Nike! Lol
It's the IAAF conspiracy. Keep the sport small, focus on getting the money to the key meeting organisers and few investors who are all friendly with the IAAF elite. Take the sport to china and the middle east where the gov officials and tourism boards will pay the IAAF cash for the privilege. Don't spread the sports influence in places with real fans like the EU and USA.
You can't be hosting and promoting track meets that aren't IAAF certified. No hosting track meets that are better than the Diamond league. No televising or promoting the sport not done via the IAAF.
Can any confirm they started on the correct line? We sure this wasn’t a 1480?

give it a rest.
it'll be on YouTube tomorrow which allows them to reach a lot more people for free. they charge a little bit for the folks who care enough to want to watch it now. zero problem with this.
Plus it was past midnight on the east coast. The concern trolling over the live streams is so annoying. None track fans care regardless of if it’s free or not.

Yeah, I'm sure that it would be great to watch the World Series or NBA final game a few days later. Why would they not produce an event live? It can't cost that much money for a company like NIke! Who are responsible for these decisions, is it NIke, is it the coach, is it the company that requires you to pay to watch this event? Who is responsible?
Dude you gotta ask to speak with a manager.

Houlihan 14:36

Ahmed 12:58
Lomong 13:03
Kincaid 13:12
Scott 13:14
Now obvious that Lomong can never be faster than Kincaid. Lomong had the perfect conditions and pacing that Kincaid had 10 months ago but still cannot run faster. You'd have to be an idiot to put Lomong ahead.
