Conceivable: Chebet’s 13:58 WR goes down in a few hours

Ngetich seems full of confidence and determination in the article below, emphasizing speed training, sharpening her kick and double medals at Worlds. Putting a WR at 20%, 80% she lands 1 sec +/- 14:00.

Ngetich plans to build her speed ahead of Tokyo Worlds

@StandardKenya

Alongside Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet, the long distance star will double at the World Championships.

What is the clean women's 5k WR?

Worst take ever. You obviously dont follow pro track at all.

Who are you

20% is way too high, but I'll agree that it's conceivable. Maybe more in the 3-5% range. Too many things have to go right, but Ngetich is probably the likeliest person right now to also dip below 14

Probably like 1418.

Alicia Monson's 14:19.

14:40 +/-

Be quiet Ed.

seriously f*ck this post

14:40 pre super shoes and bi-carb
14:20 otherwise.

Too difficult for her to go after that record alone. Remember, Chebet had Ngetich and Tsegay when she broke the record. Tsegay had Chebet keeping her honest when she broke the record before that. Kipyegon had Gidey when she broke the record before that.

Can't wait to see a woman run 13:30. The genetic superiority shown will be breathtaking.

Tsegay had pacing through 3400 from Haylom? At Pre, Chebet more like 2600? Today was I think 1200-1600 or something of pacing. Realistically I don’t get the appeal of announcing WR attempts when clearly you don’t have the conditions or pacing. On the women’s side it’s almost become more about pacing than talent level. On the roads Ngetich probably breaks 14 today with a male escorting her through. But no chance today.
