Looks like decent weather in Valencia Wednesday 9:30 pm CET. Calling for 73degrees 3 to 5 mph winds. I predict 26:10.98.
Prediction of the year. I bow down to your superiority. :)

Nice try bro. He clearly underperformed.

Remember when 27:11 was considered fast?
This just blew my mind. Same goes for the possibility of a sub 14 woman.
Shockwaves being sent throughout the distance world this year.
I love this sport!

I expect 26:11.54 for Joshua.
No AR for Kipchirchir.
Holy f*ck... well done sir. Well done.

Is this whole place deluded. Nobody respects how fast 26:17 is. It won't be beaten tomorrow. Chances are Joshua will fizzle out and we won't hear from him ever again in 2 years. He will decline and be beaten by Mo Farah in the Olympics for gold in 10,000m
lol @ BananaBread. We were all so deluded. Good call, bud

For a marathon, 48 - 49 degrees. I'd imagine about the same but somewhat warmer for a 10K. 55 degrees?
Does anyone have a link to results with lap times?

Surely "reasonable" is up for debate. You acted like this was some paradigm shift, when really these shoes just seem to lose marginally less energy on compression than previous shoes. All shoes (barring some internal energy source like Cancellara's motor :) ), will return somewhere between 0% and 99.99999...% of the energy input. What is "fair" you tell me.

There's no little elf in the shoe pushing the ground harder. What are you on about?
For instance, surely the Kipchoge-style Alphafly with a carbon plate and air pockets acts as a spring in the shoe (beyond what should be seen as reasonable)?

So you guys really think that Shelby Houlihan ran 14:24 in traditional, 2017-ish era spikes, and Gidey ran 14:06 in Dragonflies, but the shoes confer a huge benefit on the athlete? You don't think Gidey is 18ish seconds better than Houlihan over 5000?
Maybe. But as the preview pointed out, Gidey has never won a top level 5000m race in the last 3 years. If she can run 14:06 with last night's conditions, I'd think that 2015 Genzebe D., 2016 Ayana, 2017-18 Obiri or 2019 Hassan could have run 13:59. It looked so easy that it is hard to believe how Ayana or Genzebe could miss 14:11 with several tries in good shape (Hassan never tried and I am not sure how seriously Obiri tried).
It's called a verbal tick. Get over it.

It`s just simple statistical mathematics! :) 12:35 WR at 5000 m X 2 + 1 minute = 26:10 at 10000m! :) As I always use to say ; It`s just a pace thing! )))
Yes, that is Canova's formula, or are you going to take credit for that too?

It's not Canova's formula. It's been around even longer than he has.

how can we reclaim it for clean athletes?
Reclaim ? Who does it belong to ?
Belongs to no one. Shut the sport down and more importantly, shut down this God awful website and it's crappy Message board.
PS......When an American breaks 2:06 in the 'thon we will get a blackout front page.
2 World Record broken in one day = No blackout front page???
WTF?

This site is always at the forefront of racism.
you say that like Gidey isn't only 22 years old. The people you mentioned and their peaks all occurred in their mid-late 20's. Also, she seems to have been competing more over the 10000m last year as she won the silver medal at Doha
