farah is not a 5k/10k guy

3k being his sweet spot
he can run very well at distances immediately above & below, namely the 1500/5000
Which is why his 1500m time is better than his 3000m times and his 5000m times? You're delusional. This year, he was primarily a 1500m runner. Perhaps in 2012 or 2011 he was a 3k or 5k guy, but in 2013 he clearly lost some endurance. If you deny this, then you don't know what you're talking about.

What evidence is there that he lost endurance? He pr'ed in the half-marathon.

Because it was so much worse than his 10k PR. It being a PR doesn't automatically mean he's in better shape. Especially if his first only other attempt was not all out. It's like if he ran a 12:52 full out and you claiming that he's in better distance shape than when he ran sat and kicked a 12:53.

And then there's also how he and the entire camp couldn't hang as well in fast races all year. They did great in slow sit and kick races but not as good in faster races.

Well road times are slower than track times so you'd have to convert the half-marathon time to a track time and go from there to see how impressive it is. Also of course his half-marathon would be worse than his 10k since it's more of an off-event. He doesn't train for the half-marathon.

How the entire camp did is irrelevant. We're only talking about Farah here. Mo was sick before the Pre 5k. That's not evidence of anything.

moron

we've been thru this

pay close attention

----

mo has not run a time trial 5k/10k since 2011

he has not run a time trial 3k in even longer

sensible people like myself and renato recognize he is capable of 12'40 / 26'30

pea brained idiots like yourself do not
