Not a Paul Chelimo fan, especially after his performance last year at USA 5k where he ran Woody and Grant out to lane 5 in the final 75m.

Not a Paul Chelimo fan, given he hasn’t raced this year in the US due to living and training in Kenya and recently dropped out of the 5k at Pre for no publicized reason. Did his contractual commitment and bailed.

Not a Paul Chelimo fan, due to being part of the US Army team that is exclusively African men and women that gained US citizenship by being part of this team structure at tax payer expense. Granted he and others are not the ones at fault; the apparatus is there to take advantage of and not have to do anything more than basic training.

I'm no Paul Chelimo fan, but this is how you do it, kids. Were I Joe, I'd scratch from the 5K, too.

By the way, Seth, Paul "spikes up" because he races in spikes. Take note.

Is on borrowed time and didn't make the team and I hate to say it but probably won't make another one. The Athletes are getting faster and Chelimo is getting older!!!

What's it like having a small brain?

You think he actually won't make another team is comical. You mean a 5K or 10K team?
This is no different than any other athlete that will move up in distance. Paul has already shown to be a f***ing beast on the roads with a big tank. He has the mechanics to perform well all the way up to the marathon. Would bet it all he makes another team.

Made me think of this 12x400m session shared by a LetsRunner from Jacob Krop. Slightly higher altitude (6,900') and faster avg. 57 instead of 58-59 though he started in the 60-61 range per the report. Krop got more rest 1:30 -> 2'+ as the session went on. This bodes well for Chelimo as Krop ran his 12:46 nine days after the session. Slightly different sessions but both basically hitting mile goal pace with short rest and shocking the system at altitude.
