Because the guy with the prettiest training log wins right? WRONG! Lagat knows what works and what works for him. Its about racing. You dont train to train, you train to race and race fast.
Man, people have lost faith in Solinsky quick.
i wouldn't sweat it. letsrun is fickle. one good race, and they're back on the solinski bandwagon, making fun of rupp's facemask.

@Flotrack Well from what I heard 7:42 thru 3K with a 3rd Rabbit to 1200 to go. So quite fast, but perfect!
1. Farah 12:53
2. Lagat 12:53
3. Koech 12:54
4. Rupp 12:54
5. Merga 12:54
6. Bekele 12:57
7. Alimerew 12:57
8. Solinsky 12:59
Yeah I know, AR going down, heard it loud and clear... wait, this is the exact reverse of when he broke the AR in the 10K. Right now Sol is running his mouth about his 'fitness' and how he doesn't run as a 'team' (despite Teg doing everything he could to helpd Sol beat Lagat). AND you have Rupp sitting there silently, waiting to strike, just like sol was last year.
Here is the real deal banana peel...
Rupp runs sub 12:49
Things are quiet, too quiet in the Rupp camp
Solinsky... a cool 13:02 season best
Boom

If this happens: lagat will be close to his 12:48 goal. Rupp and solinksky will be close together a couple seconds back and finish around 4th and 5th. Teg right around 13:00. Farah won't win.

Bernard Lagat has NO CHANCE of running sub 12:50. Neither does Rupp, Solinsky or Teg. This is just absurd. Lagat is an incredible runner, but the days when he had a chance of breaking 12:50 are now behind him.
People are forgetting about Alamirew, but if the pace is slowish for some reason, he could be a factor. Alamirew has not yet demonstrated what he can do in a 5000, but this one is still one to watch.

You were saying? To say he won't get in Monaco because the pace won't go that fast is one thing. But to say Lagat cannot run 12:48 under any conditions is a different matter.

You think I am not aware of that, coach d? I repeat myself: Lagat CANNOT run under 12:50...the days when he could are now behind him. Can you not understand English?
You are an idiot. he just ran that last year, AND he is running faster right now. Rupp and Mo are FULLY capable of sub 12:50 and MAYBE another Kenyan. The days are behind us when Kenyans dominate the 5K. it is USA all the way
I am telling you mark my Rupp came smiling across the finish line and beat Merga THE WORLDS BEST, previous to that day of course. NOW it is RUPP and MO best two in the world right now hands down... and it is because they BEAT THE WORLDS BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

How old are you? You write as if you are a 13 year old who is below average in intelligence. Well, if it is youthful enthusiasm and naivete, well, you shall learn little boy...Bernard Lagat is NOT running faster this year than last. It is apples and oranges in some way, but he clearly is not running faster this year...
hey old man. just cause you are older than Kip doesn't mean you have to hate on him. you'll see tomorrow. all your trolling will be destroyed.
p.s. say hi to your mom for me

Just like the Uceny thread. I'm for Kip and expect him to win, but don't hate on any of the Americans tomorrow.
The South African "him" and the Borg...now that's a different story.
You simpletons are complete and utter dolts. You are expressing agreement with an obviously imbecile. I have never hated Lagat. It apparently is palpably obvious that Lagat will NEVER break 12:50. There is no hatred in the statement. It is actually clear that some of you do not possess the requisites involved in rudimentary cognitive processes...

I have edited my statement to correct a couple of glaring errors, which you morons would probably have never detected. I might add that the idiocy on this board is stunning.
Let's be real, everyone is talking about how great the americans are and how theyre taking over the african dominance again, but the kenyans are going to wipe their asses with rupp sol teg and farah, if not tomorrow then in Daegu. It won't even be a race. Mark this post, come back to it when it happens, just watch. They're going to get creamed. Lagat dosnt count because he's one of them.

how bad would you lose it if you got your hands on a worn, autographed rupp mask?
While you are calling out other haters, why are you such a hater of the schumacher group? your probably just trolling but oh well. I love ho letsrun LOVES a runner after their 1st or 2nd breakout race, and then utterly hates them and waits for their demise (ritz,rupp(not joemama tho), hall sol etc etc). left out german and ebb because they make it too easy for letsrunners to hate
