Sad that every time someone breaks a world record all we hear about is doping. Definitely sometimes justified but running and cycling are the only sports that react like this. Can't we just pretend for a while that he really did run one of the greatest races in history?
It was a great week for distance running world records until the non-white showed up.
Wrong. 3:45 and 7:22 are just infinitely more believable than 56:42. If Ingy and Fisher ran 3:41 and 7:14 out of the blue, everyone would call out the BS as well.
A slightly shortened course plus PED‘s produce this time, there is no way in hell that that amount of improvement is legitimate over the distance. I believe nothing anymore because the whole thing has become farcical absurd in all about the money as athletic talent has improved so has the talent for cheating.

I think someone official needs to actually take the time out of their day and spend some money and go and remeasure the course exactly as it was run and be allowed to take a blood sample before and after that race from the man and run it through the tests because the whole thing is making a mockery of the sport. It’s no longer an honest endeavor to set up these races or to believe anything that comes out of the results When the pressure to produce a world record or a course record is more important than the honesty and integrity of the athletes that participate. They’re all part of the conspiracy. They’re all part of the money making machine. It’s all blatant dishonesty now.
Since you never see doping you never see what is most obvious.
"It isn't doping. If it was, records would have been broken on a weekly basis for years. They haven't - till now."
"Pretending is all you've got."
The Great Pretender himself speaks. The shoes have been around for years. The records - at all levels - are now going in a matter of weeks. It ain't the shoes.

Anyone have Jacob Kiplimo's training plan? Would be a nice read!! And how much was actually done vs plan.
A lot has been said about the ban of phones, screens in his camp which obviously supports optimal results.
However this is nothing new as in general east African culture supports this... Kipchoge's camp had him stay in a 5x8 room with a bed, desk, bookshelf.
