Bekele request 13:18 first 5,000m pace at Pre 2013

none of them is in that kind of shape, I believe.

through 5000m in 13:30, last km in 2:35 and 26:46 for the win.

Maybe both of them is in that kind of shape.

You are not dealing with Nazi's, you are dealing with morons/trolls. Nobody intelligent let them get affected by these people. Most who read this thread would look at those as idiots, theres no need for you to make a post about it, and at the same time embarrasing yourself.

Du tror Farah kommer til å vinne på samme tid som i 2011? Det er statistisk lite sannsynlig professor.

eg skreiv vel ikkje noko om kven som vinn:)

Matt Scherer - the best pacer ever of course

Yup.

Galen "I Duck" Rupp: back in inaction.

Awesome grasp of how to compose a sentence there, sucker.

You're clearly too stupid to realize there is not enough time for him, or any of the USA 10k guys to recover, train, and taper for USA's.Do you ever just stop and think? Never mind that was a rhetorical question.

It's going to be 26:42 FTW for K.Bekele and then T.Bekele for 2nd place.

He's also too stupid to realize how incredible the 5k field is which is an event Rupp isn't the silver medalist in.

I think its intelligent to generally accept that a healthy Bekele is going to beat Farah in a race paced at 13:18 for the first 5k; but quite frankly, a healthy Bekele can sit and kick better than Farah. A healthy Bekele wins any 10k, regardless of the pace.

Meh.

Ducking a 10k with Bekele bros to go race a 5k with Lagat, Farah, and at least several other sub 12:50 guys isn't too much of a duck. Honestly, unless Rupp wanted to enter the International mile or something there isn't really a duck option available.

You just got schooled for your bad grammar, and this is how you act? Douchebag alert.

Former pacer for kenenisa told me over the winter that he is focused on getting back his medals on the track.. tariku posted on his facebook a sick looking pace they were running on the new track.. stating this is the first day of track training.. then disappered from facebook...

these guys have been busting hard workouts and are ready.. while al salad bar has been telling his guys to take a week off... makes no sense... they will pay for it...

base is loaded.. then he will take it up a notch in moscow..

Bekele bros are pissed after Salazar snubbed them. They practically bowed down and kissed his feet when they begged him to coach them last year. Now after crawling away with their tails between their legs they are back with a vengeance.

Ken and Riku Hit the Track part deux: This time it's personal.

I would be really blown away if Bekele ran 13:18 and then finished under 26:40.

But here's my question: has a world class/champion distance runner who dominated the sport ever fallen from the top and then come back to dominate again? On the track I'm talking about.

I don't think that happens, so I really doubt he will run super-fast. I feel like there is a little Webb-hopefulness/desperation going on here, that Bekele will return to his old form.

Maybe under 27, but not by much.

Is getting an injury falling from the top?

Kind of, because it's very hard to come back from. And his WR's were 9-10 years ago, correct? Has anyone ever been at the top that long, while not moving up in distance (Geb)?

I'd love to see him run under 26:30 and get back there, that would be truly amazing, but it seems like a real longshot.
