Will be fun to see what he can do. I'm sure he could do a mile around his former marathon pace since he still runs since retirement. He could be 4:30

Still my GOAT

Dunno. Kinda sounds like a charity thing where he'll be jogging it in with celebs. I hope he runs it all out, though. It would be fun to see what he can do.

Sounds like he'll be jogging it, but I'm sure he could run a 4:30 with minimal training.

I’m 48 and run 4:40 with minimal training (30 miles per week, no speed work). Haille would be under 4:15 easy.

I'd pay to see a Geb vs. Lagat match race!

Not if he hasn't run a step since retiring. (Sounds like you train every day.)

I met Haile in person five years ago. He looked as skinny as he ever did and it sounded like he still ran a lot. I bet he could run a sub 14 5k and sub 30 10k.
