A better question is why Lagat doesn't train like Lasse Viren or Kenenisa Bekele or Mo Farah, people who have actually won gold medals at the Olympics.
The real 2nd question is : WHY GALEN RUPP DON´T TRAIN LIKE MO FARAH, an olympic gold ?
The real 3rd question is: WHY GALEN RUPP WITH MORE MILEAGE TRAINING THAN LAGAT HE GETS A WORST CLASSIFICATION IN THE 5000M LONDON OLYMPICS THAN LAGAT ?
4th qustion. Since that each one of the 3 - Viren, Bekele and Mo - they train very differently each one from the other, the real question is: From what Olympic gold medal might Lagat train ?
Answer: If he wants one gold medal, train like Bob Schul, the only american 5000m olympc gold medal.
Or if you want go by the stupidity kindof the answer to save all that questions is: do 100miles a week, long run, train like Lydiard, train like Murray Halberg, Peter Snell, Barry Magee, Bill Baillie, Jeff Julian and Ray Puckett. isn´t that what some of you do you want to suggest ?
