Yomif Kejelcha! Half Marathon WR

I want to give attention to the coach. Yomif, soon after Olympics, decided to change coach, joining the group of Gemedu Degefo, of course looking at a future as road runner.

In his plan there is the debut in full Marathon, probably at the end of the next season.

Till now, Yomif's longest run is 30 km, of course at fast pace, and this training can explain his improvement in specific endurance at the speed of HM, compared with the previous PB (57'41") when he suffered in the last km, in spite of better weather compared with the weather of this year.

Next year, Yomif will continue to prepare track, probably trying to attack the WR of Cheptegei in both 5000 and 10000m. Under this point of view, Gemedu is a guarantee of success, and deserves to be considered one of the most prepared coach in the World.

It's well known that most of Jakob's competitors respect him as an athlete and acknowledge his ability. Perhaps you could stand to learn from their attitude.

People respect Jakob as an athlete. Nobody respects Trollstronglivs.

Did you make a mistake. Yomif didn’t blame no wet soaked shoe for slowing down near the end. He only said he had trouble turning right which wasn’t related to water but slipperyness. Pls read between the lines.

You are extremely annoying and your posts are garbage. Pls read between the lines.

Learn history: among the Olympic years (e.g., no Berlin for most big shots etc.), 2024 was the best ever, with 9 runs under 2:04 (next best Olympic year: 4x) and a world lead of 2:02:16 (next best Olympic year: 2:03:03). 20 years ago, no one had run 2:03 yet.

His marathon debut will be hype. I think he is the level of talent to break 2 hours on a legit course - Berlin 2025?

And he has nothing to say on the thread subject.
