Pace is slow. They're on track to finish in November at the rate they're going.

Great, another boring jog fest. Rediculous.

5:09 first mile they said at the media center.

31 degrees and an uphill start guys. Chill, the pace will warm up. If this is gonna be a whine fest - go back to bed

Did Mutai officially say the he was 'going for the record'?

If so he just lost my respect. I mean, Mo is a sitter by any definition but at least he doenst roar out senseless steam before every race like the Kenyan team.

15:15 at 5k 1:04:15 estimated finishing time

They'll have to pick it up for sure.

Mo Farah just took his long sleeve shirt off. 17 minutes in and now Mutai and Meb up front. There goes Mutai down a hill.


5:09 1st mile
4:47 3rd they said.

Mutai hits the front and Farah rips of shirt like Hulk Hogan,it is on.

They heard the screams, mutai in front, mo takes shirt off and starts his watch.

Mutai putting in a bit of a pick up and Mo goes to the front for a second to try to slowdown the pace.

Stringing out big time as they climb the last hill

Farah doesn't look good. He won't transition well to the marathon

Here comes Salzaar:
