On the Coffee Club podcast, George Beamish said that he was the roommate of Hagos Gebrhiwet in Monaco who went on to win the race in 12:42. He said that in the days leading up to the race, Hagos would be sleeping almost the entire day besides for training and eating. Maybe sleep is the secret to Ethiopian 5k success...

You're right that sleep is far more important to performance than most of us realize. Christie Aschwanden's book "Good to Go," on recovery describes sleep as far more effective than any other recovery modality.

You’re not more intelligent. You’re probably just addicted to caffeine and can’t fall asleep

Actually I am more intelligent than you or Hagos and it is not close.

That is a very good read. At the end of the book proper sleep and good nutrition are the two most important factors in recovery.

He also mentioned that rooming with East Africans = No AC. So maybe there's something to that too? Sleep a lot in the heat and you'll be rocking it when it's race time!

I laughed at this too, and they also note Hellen does the same with multiple naps. Kipchoge does 8 hours overnight and then 2 hours in the day. If you look at the old Kim McDonald threads I think they also note the Kenyans are either training, sitting and talking or sleeping.

in lower latitudes where it is hot at midday, people take a long nap, adding to their total sleep.

He is probably sleeping because he is overtrained. After a hard session his eyes probably drop when he sits down for long enough.

Naps are underated.

He pretended to sleep because he doesn't want to hear Beamish blabbering about his doping methods.
