Ok, I was reading the article on Douglas W on IAAF.org.

Check it...

1. Samuel Wanjiru (Ken) 58:35

(split times: 13:40 - 27:27 - 41:30 - 55:31)

Amazing! He has a PB of 26:41 on the track too, right?

So, what would happen if he meets up with Kenny B... in a tactical 10,000m what about a rabbited 10,000m.

What would Kenny B do in a solo 1/2 marathon?

Any of you ever run the first 5k within a minute of your PR and survive to run a fast 1/2 marathon, like Douglas did? That\'s pretty sick. Dude, is amazing

Whooooooops. Thread should be Samuel v Kenny. Doh!

Being vipamish is harder than it looks.

Bekele ran a 57 last quarter of his 10k WR. He also ran about 4:00 for 3.1 miles, thats pretty quick. Until I know more about Sammys speed, I give it to Bekele in a tactical 10k on the track.

Exactly. Wanjiru hasn't shown any type of track speed that I'm aware of, and I doubt he's been focusing on it with all of his road racing. We've already seen Bekele close in 53.02 in Athens, and with his recent emphasis on speed he might be able to go even faster. Samuel is a beast on the roads, but Kenenisa's combination of great speed and strength make him untouchable in the longer track races.

Yeah, he certainly hasn't closed any 10k's in 53, but I think Wanjiru has tremendous upside for future track 10k's.
