Tim Cheruiyot Skipping Bislett Games Dream Mile To Plant Potatoes

So what is Cheruiyot up to? Really? Planting potatoes, is that what they call it? I did that a few months back and they tasted delicious, but it didn't enhance my performances.

The excuses for avoiding drug tests are getting funnier and funnier by the day.

So what is El Keniano guys? Fat trev? Italian? Irish? Jewish? Polish? Japanese? Hell, we know he's not a Kenyan. lol

How lucrative is the potato biz?

And stop being such a metricist! The mile is a historical event. Don't like it? Too bad.

Except the mile has never been an World or Olympic event so where exactly is the history?

I can’t believe I have to do this, but just in case anyone was wondering, none of the things about me in Coevett’s is true.

^ *Coevett’s post, even.

Not reading all of that nonsense but I will laugh heartedly at 'extreme left wing'.

I voted Conservative last time you genius, me trying to put an ounce of realism onto the Jakob hype train has absolutely nothing to do with which political party I think would run the country better. Why would it?

Lunatic.

It's funny because you replied to Barakus' post about you, stating that he is only agreeing with me because of some long winded drivel about how you don't want to live in Scandinavia.

However you totally avoided my post which just stated the truth, succinctly and straight to the point without any sugar coating.

The ONLY reason you dislike the mile, an arbitrary distance of running like any other, is SIMPLY because you dislike the British.

That's all there is to it and it's why you and Coevett are one and the same.

Ah, nice to know we're just one big happy family here on the LetsRun forum.

Again you show your true self. I wasn't talking about you spouting hatred against Scandinavia in the paragraph regarding accusations and whites and european nations. But of course, you have that too. Just look, you're unable to appreciate other nations just because they are white and successfull. I don't know the exact reason people prefer Scandinavia to Kenya, and I'm sure there are plenty people who prefer Kenya to cold nations, but you sure seem to know that there aint anywhere good to live except your blessed Kenya. You have terrible view on everything European and American. So un-Kenyan of you too be so hostile.

"In the report titled the UN World Happiness Report 2018, Kenya is ranked at position 124 out of 156 countries."

I don't judge no nation as you, you could learn something. There is value in most nations.

A pair of Daily Mail readers. Explains a lot. Won’t be bothering with you two anymore.

First of all, that report is a joke. You can never convince me workers in a Nordic industrial city are happier than penniless beach boys on a Caribbean island just because they have fast internet. They don’t even smile at you on the street.

Also, why don’t you tell the whole story, Barakus? The reason I started getting so defensive and getting in the mud with the haters is because YOU and your friends were constantly and repeatedly bashing Kenya and Kenyans in your posts. You essentially called us “backward” and implied we envy your lifestyles. And either you, or some other person, used the same language as Trump to describe my country. And I distinctly remember you, in particular, referring to us as “savages”. Did you really expect me to let all your insults slide? You’ve been very judgmental and insulting and are fooling no one with that phoney conciliatory tone.

I'm hip. Nigas find any way to hate on someone better than them.

Haha not even close.

Once again you avoided my statement about how you dislike the British and hence that's why you dislike the mile.

I'll just take it as confirmed from your avoidance. Everyone here can see the thread quite clearly and I think half of them knew that's why you started the thread without me pointing it out.

I just want to add that I LOVE the fact that you think I'm racist against blacks, and Coevette thinks I'm racist against whites. You think I'm a right wing nut, and Coevette thinks I'm a filthy liberal snowflake. It's amazing, and if you two were smart enough you'd realise it makes a big statement about the both of you.

I'm simply not overly politically polarised and race doesn't feature in my everyday thoughts, much like the majority of ordinary people on Earth. The extremists are you and Coevette and that's what makes you so similar.

Of course I can't, you'll have to talk to someone who actually lives there, also you would have to be able to be objective, but as it is you're a slave to your angry emotions.

That report is no joke though, do you have an education at all? I do love how you disagree with everything that doesn't fit your view of the world. Relax kiddo, take a breather.

Wrong. I never bashed Kenya other than replying to your hate against European nations showing you that all your silly little rants doesn't mean much when where you, supposedly, live there are huge problems.

"You essentially called us “backward” and implied we envy your lifestyles. And either you, or some other person, used the same language as Trump to describe my country"

See? So much hate. Everyone on here is not the same person. As I've said repeatedly, I like Kenya.

Your problem, out of many, is: You don't understand that when you go out of your way to bash nations and continents on and on, you'll get people that dislike you and criticise where you are from. Start behaving and most people here won't reply to your vile rants with criticism. Its obvious you can't take it.

I’d just like to leave this prediction here. With Tim absent, the race will not be fast. Manangoi seems to be experiencing a dip in form and hasn’t been himself in his last two races (unwell?) given how he overpowered Tim at the commonwealths and looked good running the 800m in Doha. I’m putting my ? on Sadik Mikhou of Bahrain to win it, out kicking everyone off a slow and tactical pace.

Trying to steer this thread back on track after it, unfortunately, got hijacked. Reminding you of my prediction just a few hours before the race.

You guys really know how to screw up a thread. Happens over and over and over again. Still better than the odd and annoying perseveration of m!ndweak, but a little worse than calculo/ventolin.

It seems ridiculously suspicous to me. Maybe he has failed a test? There doesn't seem any rational explanation short of a family problem or such that would explain why he would miss one of the biggest events on the calender and the appearance money that goes with it.

There is Stockholm at the weekend (don't know if he is entered there) and then there is 20 days until the next event (Paris).

Either he's failed a test or he's been seriously spooked by Kiprop's bust and is having to change his (micro)doping regime.

Why do you keep picking on m!ndweak? He gives it to you straight - the reality of the doping world in athletics isn't very pleasant to discuss. What I see here on these doping threads lately is too many doping apologists.

Its probably either him, Ingebrigtsen or Manangoi. Manangoi didn't impress last time but you can never know, hes fast so a slow race could suit him. Filip is unknown due to his recent injury, probably needs a few races to get really back into it. Hes also the mentally weakest of the brothers according to sources.
