Lagat is a straight g tho, he's 39 years old, a great sportsman and just a great guy for the sport.
I remember, before beginning running, seeing commercials of Nike of him and saw he had done some cool things in his career, heard he was 33, 34 and thought he was retired just doing commercials and such... Turns out when I start running he is still a beast. Half his life as a professional is truly amazing.

Regina Jacobs did the same thing and was killing people as she aged. Obviously on drugs and everyone knew it but Lagat gets a free pass even though he has failed a drug test. I don't get it.

Rupp DNS
Um, obviously? I meant more in response to reaction to his 10k win.
That looked like a warm stride for Lagat in the last 100.
Anyone else bored by this race?
I really felt the absence of Lomong and especially Rupp. The finish was just really anticlimactic

Lagat interview time! My favorite time of every meet.

Glad to see Mead in the mix for top 3. Thought it odd people weren't giving him enough credit as a contender.
Interesting comparison:
Mo Farah's 5000 progression: Age 20: 13:38, 22: 13:30, 23: 13:09, 24: 13:07, 27: 12:57, 28: 12:53
Hassan Mead: 18: 13:44, 19: 13:28, 23: 13:11, 24: 13:02...

It's pretty clear if you have a brain to see the difference. Jacobs was running her fastest times ever at 39. Lagat has been on a progressive albeit slow decline.
And he never failed a drug test buddy.
