Come on dude, even Jacob Kiplimo is having trouble running 26:33 before Tokyo 2021 ever again after Tokyo 2021!!!!!!!!!!!
How come both of Uganda's precious jewels who were guaranteed sub 26min 10k WR holders of the future not only can't run anywhere near the low 26min region they used to run, much less challenge and break it again and again given supershoes and what not, but can't even hang in the 26:30 region and instead deteriorated to almost 27 flat region in just over a few months between 2021 and 2022 when all athletes were forced with the COVID vaccine????
That subtlety or nuance of a drop in high-performance physiology while insignificant to Pfizer and Moderna to classify as pathological or morbid in medical parlance is significant enough to us distance running observers and trend-analysts!!!!!! We trend-analysts observe the situation with athletes BEFORE AND AFTER a milestone event in history----the COVID vaccine or whatever supershoes etc etc!!!!! We scrutinize the space-time events of the world that surrounds the athlete himself/herself with respect to the athlete himself/herself!!!!
Jacob Kiplimo is on the same decline as Joshua Cheptegei and any seeming recent virtuoso performances at 5k, 10k, HM is the rarity in the space-time trend rather than the norm!!!!!
While Kiplimo had a new 5K PB of 12:41 or otherwise last year, he was so severely lacking in durability that he was out for the rest of the entire 2023 season from July to October having exhausted his knee and took the life out of it running 12:41 on super-cushioned supershoes no less, while Daniel Komen runs 12:45, 12:41, 12:39 in like what? 10 days on sh*tty shoes and sh*tty track surfaces with no wavelights what else???????
Can you folks see the glaring relative difference in durability between the athletes and stars from 1990s as compared to 2020s or 30 years apart?????? Daniel Komen still only retired not because he lost durability or exhausted his energy for high-performance but rather he got distracted putatively with girls, alcohol, wealth and whatnot, whereas Kiplimo is surely going to retire young with a walking stick or disability aid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys are just so friggin weak in 2020s despite 100 times better technology really?????????
LOL
