Picked this up from a recent kimbia q&a.

I think this will be my schedule for the season:

Road to Eugene High Performance, May 27, 1500m

Pre Classic, June 10, 2mile

USATF Champs, June 22, 5K

Athens GP, July 2, 1500m

Lausanne SGP, July 10, 5K

Madrid GP, July 21, 1500m

Heusden, July 28, 1500m

Stockholm SGP, August 3, 3K

Zurich GL, September 7, 3K

Brussels GL, September 14, 3K

Let's hope I am adding the World Champs to this list after June 22!!—MT

Looks like he doesn't want to race too many 5k's and work more on having that closing speed one needs in championship races. Seems smart to me- the season will be long- why spend time seeing what you can run for 5000m and tiring yourself out when what you really care about is winning races? I bet he runs 3:34, 13:00 +/- 2 sec., 7:31/32. Good luck Matt.

re: bekele buster

word.

something i noticed that is really interesting and should be a great race is the Prefontaine 2 mile, which already has Craig Mottram and Kenenisa Bekele on the list, and I'm sure other top world class athletes will be in it, one of them which is Matt Tegenkamp. I bet he'll try to make an attempt on the AR. Wish I could see that race.

re: irun

if mottram ever wants to beat bekele in the 08 olympic 5k, he will have to beat him in the 2-mile first.

re: the430miler

I like that he's running some 3k's...but why three in a row to end his season? I would have hoped he'd throw a 5k at the end when he's supposed to be peaked. It'll be great to see him go after BK's mark in the 3k...but why 3 times? His whole season is geared towards running 3 3ks?

re: bekele buster

I don't think it's really fair to leave Ritz off that list, just because his marathon debut wasn't as successful as Hall's was. He is continuing to perform strongly at the 10k distance, and as he matures physically he will join Hall as an internationally competitive marathoner.

re: Mrr82

i imagine his whole season is geared towards peaking for the 5k distance at the world champs, meaning he won't be peaking for the distance of 5k after the world champs. his mileage and strength will be lower and at its lowest that late in the season, so racing 3k's probably isn't a bad idea. and i'm sure it's a tentative schedule. if he doesn't make it to osaka for some reason, he'll probably add a 5k to the schedule or maybe try to enter into a 5k in one of the meets instead of the 3k. being as new as he is to racing at the world class level at the 5k distance, developing his 3k speed probably isn't that bad of an idea. i mean, most V02 workouts are based off 3k speed, so if he can improve his 3k time, in essence he's improving his max VO2, isn't he?
