Not much, but there's a link to a radio broadcast on the right.

slow pace

lagat wins in 7.40.x mo farah 2nd, then kiptoo, thompson, and rupp
Bernad Lahghat!
It is a PR for Rupp, and difficult to say what effect the slow pace had, given that it is still a PR, and the time is equivalent to a 3:36, which he has not run.
First k 2:32, second k 2:39 according to Run Blog Run on Twitter.

I was posting updated in this thread:
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=3664433I just did the math. 13:00 pace is 7:48 through 3k (4:09.6 through 1600). I'm not sure why I thought it would be faster through 3k.

An outdoor PR, 7:43.24, his indoor PR is 7:42.40. At least he smoked Mottram by 2.63 in London.

And i think it got even slower from 1600-2400. 2:39, i don't think those guys ran that slow for any 1K of last weeks 5000, and that includes Rupp for his 4000. I know it was raining, but that is lame. Surpised Kogo didn't push the pace, he's no kicker abut is a damn fast 5000 - 10000 guy.

But, if you do the math, Lagat's time is 12:47 pace, and I suspect THAT is what he's setting up for Zurich or, more likely, Brussles. My sense is that Lagat and possibly Rupp are using London as a race tempo effort for later.
We also know that Solinsky is doing altitude now and hasn't come down yet (or at least, he hasn't said so).

If the pace was even and there were a bunch of scrubs in it and Rupp and Lagat were just chilling, then i might agree with you. The fact it came out to that overall pace is just coincidence. Very rarely does anyone go into a 3k to run those type of splits in a race like this.

Agreed, but with Rupp looking to go under 13 or better and Lagat wanting to lower his 5000 AR, the probably didn't back off much for this race. Is Lagat in the 5000 next week?

I'm inclined to agree with you about the tempo...but no chance Lagat sniffs 12:47. I agree with vent- he was worth 12'45 in his prime, but he's an old man now. Finishes his career no faster than 12:52.

That's probably right, but maybe he'll surprise us.
When he went 12:59 a few years ago closing in 51.9 like it was a jog...that was a pretty damn good sign he could have done 12:40's, he just never got in a race like that.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
