Anyone who bothered watching that interview would have the answer on why he isn't running as fast as last year. Stop asking that over and over again and try educating yourselves you numbskulls. He didn't run anything faster than 4:40 going into the European circuit. Definitely is not track focused work is it you pompous know it alls?
So he ran some of his mileage as fast as 4:40 and then thought it best to go run a 5000 in Europe. What's the point? I'm not being sarcastic, just really curious. Was he over there already for something else and just decided to jump in? It's just not necessary otherwise, he could run 13:50 anywhere.
