i can't help but wonder about the spikes..they took moh ahmed to 12:47
uhhh cheptegei can probably get like....every record 5000+ now.
i have zero doubts about him. rhonex and chep are gonna rewrite everything.
Unreal to watch a 5k pr. Hopefully this inspires other athletes to run sub 12:40 as well.

Insane meet with insane races by Cheruiyot + Jakob (Cheruiyot 3:26-shape if he doesn’t do in-n-outs for the first two laps) and beyond insane by Cheptegei... but I can’t help but feel bad for Bekele considering Cheptegei had superior shoes + monaco + light technology...
Can someone explain the deal with the spikes?
Watching him crush the Wavelight pacer over the final 3 laps was fun.
Too bad so few to get to witness that live.

What spikes did he use?
And what watch was he using?
Also, what's the point of having NBC Sports Gold if they're going to cut away to commercial just like on the TV Olympic Channel? Not happy!
61.70 2nd lap. Are you even trying Joshua?

What do you want to know? Spike version of the alpha fly/next %.

eh screw it things always evolve. bekele had stuff that prior 5000 wr holders didn't.
BUT Bekele had a roaring crowd...?? Seems fair all things considered.
can we talk about Cheptagai's stopwatch?
Is he gonna post his run on Strava?

At least with Bekele we'll forever have the grainy Youtube video of the entire race
How much faster per mile than the Vic 2s

Cheptegei wasn’t even watching the lights, did he even know they were there? Insane.

Cheptegei is the KING of all surfaces. WR on Track and Road. Gold on Track and XC. Insane.

And in that race, only 1 other athlete went sub-13.
Kimeli died his way to a 12:51. Damn. What a run for them both.
Wasn't Kimeli's PR like 13:13 or something? Great race for him
