Correction: "Heres Jonny" will fail in his quest to make Mo Farah look bad because Mo did indeed break the world record. Better luck next time!
Can we agree it's a fake world record? Does the iaaf even maintain records for the 1 hour run?
The IAAF does indeed maintain records for the 1 hour run. But even if it didn't, I hardly see how it's a "fake world record."
You argue like David45. You were wrong with your prediction. You look even stupider now.
He broke the record today. How fast do you run?
The roads for distances greater than 10k are faster than the track nowadays. All the turns Mo makes while running is worth probably a dozen seconds or so. I don’t think it’s unrealistic to say Mo could run 58:40 considering he went through the half marathon mark in 59:21
Ha ha... What say you now??

Blah blah blah ...
How would Mo compare to Ron Clarke: 20,232 (1965) and Gaston Roelants: 20,664 (1966) on a DIRT track...?! Also take into account the track obviously and the cheaterfly shoes that are now used that appear to give a huge advantage.
Author will FAIL at predictions.
Big Mo Farah fan so I don't get all the hate
The guy I absolutely dominated middle distance running in a way that might not be replicated over the the next hundred years
All top athletes have their things that people could complain about
He seems like a pretty cool guy works really hard brought style and interest to the sport.

Considering he beat them by about 1km each. I can say with confidence he would have won easily. Using spikes for such a long distance is not going to give much advantage at all. And Pebax is not cheating, it’s just a foam.
How do you break the 1 hour record? Everyone ties it by going exactly one hour. Does that count as breaking it?

It appears that Mo is back to showing his true character again. Mo says he is leaving the marathon because he misses the excitement of the track. Maybe but what Mo fails to tell you is that he was humbled by the marathon and he misses being the best, which he was on the track, but no longer is, and never was in the marathon. Mo is almost 37.5 years old. He likely will fall short of Haile’s record but if somehow the magical shoes get him there, he won’t get the record because he will not have run the farthest, as one of the younger talents with the magical shoes will beat him. Mo was never the best at racing the clock, and Father Time is an even more formidable opponent. I am not ashamed to say that I will experience some degree of schadenfreude at watching Mo fail in his quest.
Hahahaha.
The first law of predictions is don't make them so concrete that you look like a clueless fool.

Yes that Is how a timid soul like you, devoid of a powerhouse intellect, must live your life, fearful of going out on a limb. I myself have no fear, as I am vindicated once again. Yes Mo used the magic shoes to make it 45 meters further than Geb, but does anyone with intelligence place any significance in such a trifling difference? Mo simply confirmed that he is washed up. It is actually sad to see dirty washed up Mo still run MUCH faster at 37.5 than he could as an ostensibly clean runner in his mid 20s. I will always make predictions with clarity, as your attempts to disparage me are like a fly on my windshield leaving a trace of its relatively meaningless existence.

Great. Lance Armstrong dominated the Tour de France “in a way that’s might not be replicated over the next hundred years.” I am sure you were/are a fan.
Hahahahaha OP now you look like a complete idiot I just came here to laugh at you hahahahaha!!

I don't hate Mo, but he dominated in an decade when the events were weak because his main rivals left the track to compete on the roads.

I"m not quite getting why the backlash against "Heres Jonny" is so harsh.
He is not the first one to make bold predictions that failed.
Sure the title is provocative, but in the text, we see he did not make them so concrete. He rolled it back leaving the options open, by saying "will likely fall short", and entertaining the alternate possibility of Mo succeeding (but also wrongly predicting someone else would still beat him).
Then when all the predictions were wrong, he expressly admitted he was wrong.
10/10 if only for staying in character after defeat.

Woah man, that’s way too fair minded and forgiving for September 2020...

So in other words talking rubbish makes you clever and even though Farah got the record, he didn't really. A career in politics beckons you.
RIP: D3 All-American Frank Csorba - who ran 13:56 in March - dead
RENATO can you talk about the preparation of Emile Cairess 2:06
Running for Bowerman Track Club used to be cool now its embarrassing
Hats off to my dad. He just ran a 1:42 Half Marathon and turns 75 in 2 months!
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
