Faith Kipyegon best distance is DEFINITELY not the 1500m. Over 10 years ago when she defended her World Jr X Country 6000m title I was stoked at the prospect of her 5000/10000m potential. Then Faith spends the next decade primarily training and racing the 1500. TRUE she became the greatest women's 1500m runner with multiple titles; however, I'm almost totally convinced her best distance by the end of her career WILL NOT be the 1500m.
I have been waiting for her to move up in distance for many years and show the world her long distance potential. Sub 13:57, sub 28:55, and sub 2:13 are all within her capabilities if she can stay healthy and focused the next several years. Thanks Faith for finally TRAINING like a 5000m runner and now moving up in distance. Hope to see her in the 10000m with 2 years.
