Prague 1/2 predictions? Rupp ftw? - Official 2017 Prague Half Live Discussion Thread

Plantar took Jordan down for over a year. The only remedy is rest and Alberto should know this yet seems to be pushing Galen. It's highly unlikely now Galen will be running Boston. On the other hand, Jordan is rocking!

It would be great if Jordan could run an equivalent 10K time of 30:46 to her 1:07:55 Half-marathon.

Ms. Jepkosgei ran two 30:42.50 10Ks in a row with no rest... and ran the fastest road 5k (14:53) so far this year for women…and smashed Paula's Road 10k World Record by going through the 10k in 30:04…in a Half-marathon race.

LOL

Go Jordan!

We won't hear much from Jepkospei anymore. Mark my words

Another unknown Kenyan who suddenly came along,broke the world record, and then disappeared once the "magic" was done.

She is very new on the world stage so she is probably not yet in the ABP system.

Her PR for the Half-marathon set last year in Karlovy Vary, CZE last year was 1:09:07…and now 1 year later she can run 1:04:52.

Ms. Jepkosgei improved by 4 minutes and 15 seconds…which is only 19.5 seconds PER MILE improvement in one year at the international level of competition.

There is nothing suspicious about her progression in 1 year.

This would mean that Jordan Hasay might also improve her PR by 4 minutes and 15 seconds for the Half-Marathon in 1 year.

That means that Jordan Hasay could run a 1:03:40 in the Half-Marathon next year!!!

Go Jordan!!!

"Interestingly, Jepchirchir STARTED RUNNING JUST LAST YEAR, her main podium finish being a third place in the First Lady's Half Marathon in March."

"On Sunday, the brand new world half marathon record holder's manager, Davos Savija of Prague-based Ikaika Sport, was spoilt for choice, busy trying to negotiate a mouth-watering schedule for the lady from Cheptil, Nandi County."

Joycilene ran a 1:04:52 Half-marathon after only 1 year of running.

Uh oh.

Go Jordan!

(No worries.)

Joycilene has only been running for 1 year.

Watch out American runners.

There is a new Kenyan runner in town.

What will be the response of Alberto and NOP?

Alberto has no answer.

Alberto is in big trouble.

Galen is also overtrained and his foot hurts now.

What will be the response of Alberto and NOP?

From the article:

"Inside just 12 months, Joyciline Jepkosgei has ascended from the zenith to the nadir of distance running, and now every manager wants her to enlist on their start lists."

"…has ascended from the zenith to the nadir of distance running…"

Oh yeah. Well done.

These Kenyan running articles are pathetic.

They are just like the pathetic Ivy League journalist articles at LetsRun.com.

Her 5K PB was listed as 15:40 and this year she splits 14:53 in a 20K plus race?

off 14'53/30'04 then hanging on for 64'52, she probably couda run 64-flat at even pace

that woud indicate hugely below 29'30, perhaps even around 29-flat mark

she may be 1/4 of a minute quicker than ayana in rio !!!
