last year early season was undoubtedly his peak with that 59-flat after tripping at the start, charging off to catch leaders within ~ 1/2 - 3/4 mile, all done in worst conditions ever seen in a major race in living memory !!!
i have no doubt that day, in a smooth, paced to 5k only as requisite for 10k, on temperate 0 wind day in zurich, he wouda run
~ 26-flat
he suffered bad illness/injury by trials & as consequence ran rubbish in rio
it was posted here on BB that his coach reckoned he was in
~ 3'31
( i coudn't find it, maybe someone can )
shape last year or before that, which i 100% agree
his line of fit in cardiff i reckon was ~
52.0 / 1'48.5
->
3'31.09
4'46.12
7'19.05 !!!
12'32.48 !!!
26'01.22 !!!
if he had his alleged 3'31 speed in cardiff he couda clipped the 3k WR & utterly crushed the 5 & 10k wrs
...
You think Kamworor can actually run exactly twice his 5000m PB, 12:59.98, back to back with no recovery.
Ok.
Where was the 26:01 Kamworor today? Looks like he struggled to reach 4.5k on that pace.
I suppose he was still in 26:00 shape but Farah and kjelcha in 25:xx shape etc.? Lol.
