Does Geb train in racing flats?

Anyone know?

yes, and he does all his mileage at 9:00 per mile. It's all one needs to do to be as fast as Geb, just ask Trackhead (who is in regular contact with all of the worlds' best coaches. )

no does train in trainers quite a bit...runs lots of miles, and lots of FAST longer runs (40Kish)

and actually, Trackhead does know all the Ethiopian crew quite well.

i miss trackhead

Does anybody else think its weird that, shortly after trackhead stopped posting, the430miler started posting?

trackhead knew is shit. 430 is a fvcktard. obviously not the same person.

APPARENTLY geb trains a great deal in the adidas adizero pro's. really good shoes, for sure.

Please remember, before you go out and start training in the Adizero Pro, that Haile spent his childhood barefoot and ran a lot barefoot as a youngster. He is so strong in the feet, ankles and legs that he can probably run in anything.

In watching Geb's WR, I froze some frames and noticed the bottom of his shoes matched the Adizero Pro's.

Also, the announcer mentioned that Geb had different shoes ready depending on the conditions (wet roads or not). He had to put on his "wet roads" shoes on (I'm guessing the Pro's). I wonder what he would have worn if conditions were completely dry.

In his NY half marathon he wore the Adistar Comp 4 which is the same as the Adizero LT except for the upper.

he is very light
