So he’s in shape to do 1 x mile in 5:00, 10 x 1k in 2:44 off 2:00 and a mile in 5:00 after. Idk what that means in terms of his performance. We’ll find out in Houston. He had three other guys that did the workout with him. No posts about them? They’re in shape, too.

Okay so they’re in shape too. And? We actually don’t know what their average splits were vs Klecker’s
Not sure why all the downvotes. This is at altitude on the roads. That’s worth 2:40 or faster on the track at sea level
You were downvoted because
1) You didn't say it was at altitude in your post. Do you really think the average track fan knows where Joe Klecker trains? This is a rediculously good workout at altitude, but just a normal good one at sea level. Its basically 10 km worth of volume at half marathon world record pace as short reps, plus two miles at well slower than marathon pace (so half the distance of a half marathon with 2min rest between each km) so the altitude bit is really important. A handfull of Americans could do this workout at sea level.
2) You didn't post a link the workout, so folks won't be able to easily verify the workout even existed and check out the details.
3) You didn't put any of this workout in context. You just listed the workout. Most Americans aren't really that familiar with 1 km rep times so you have to spell out what these times mean. People tend to think in 400, mile, or 5km split times.
4) You didn't specify the effort level. How was Joe feeling during this workout? Of course it was tough, but if it was close to all out, it is not that impressive as lots of people can run 10 x 1km with 2 min rest at half marathon world record pace if it is an all out effort.
Overall its a super impressive workout at altitude. It would be a strong workout at sea-level. But its hard to proccess how good it is the way you posted it. Ultimately, why care if someone likes your posts or not? If you do care, put some more effort into explaining things.
not that impressive really, if on road, likely to have abused the wind & downhills. all it shows is hes pretty ok at time-trialling but does nothing to combat the fact that when hes in a race, he usually bottles it and goes out the back door when theres any change in pace. moving up in distance wont hide this fact
