As an 800 guy who is bad at longer distances despite my efforts I enjoy looking at those times
KYLE MF KLINGER!!! murphy washed
Clayton is not tough enough to run a hard 5k
Murphy ran in trainers fool
Usually runners move up in distance as they age to prolong their careers. I wonder if Clayton is trying out slightly longer distances to see if he can be just as competitive as he gradually loses speed. However, a 5k in the 16s will not cut it at the Olympic level.
He knew he was too washed up to go to the Dayton TT where 5ish guys went sub 25 in the 8k. They had a faster race pace for two extra miles than him…nice that Kyle let him stick around because he has run 15:20 fairly recently. I imagine he could have dropped him before the final stretch if he wanted to do so.

Nearly 3 minutes behind the great one
Watch the finish video! It looks like they fought ferociously to the line too. Not a good look to see Clayton get edged out by a hobby jogger, especially after outkicking the entire US 800m Olympic field just months earlier.

I agree that the focus here should be on Kyle Klingler’s epic performance instead of putting down Clayton. Both lads ran well—Kyle just executed a perfect kick and caught Clayton by surprise. It took a few steps for Clayton to respond to being passed and there simply wasn’t enough race distance left to overtake Klingler. Kyle is coming off a recent marathon in a hilly course where he finished close to 2:30. Keep an eye on this Klingler kid. This won’t be the last time you hear of him.
Guys it's november! These times don't matter, he'll run 1:42 this year you'll see.

1. This makes me feel better as a MD specialist who also sucks at 5k.
2. Amazing that Murphy is still only 26. That boy is gonna be a 3 time Olympian.
Another fat L for Murphy's 2021 campaign

lmao watch the video
How this happen?
Murphy can certainly handle a 5:20 per mile pace and ought to be able to outkick anyone in that field.
Wishing I had run that turkey trot instead of my local one.
He might’ve been hungover
After the 2021 Olympics, my friends and I decided to rename our last place Fantasy Football League trophy from the “Sacko” to the “Murphy.” This reassured our great decision.
