I did two 5M runs on a treadmill faster than that pace this fall (last 5M of 8M in 25:52 and last 5M of 10M in 26:08) and was not in particularly good shape all fall, and each time I would have finished faster but the tmill was capped at 5:00/M max. So, unless he was going much faster than that for the latter half of the run, I'd say he's probably run-down, sick, or just getting started again with his training.
he does look sick actually. 10M race pace for him would be in the 4:20s.
He looked a little bloated to me. Of course, we usually see him rail thin in peak shape in most vids/pictures.
What´s so strange about this? I remembered a few years ago when Ryan Hall was at his peak. After his last marathon for the year he took a break and then he returned to training. After a few weeks he tested how long he could run at his M race pace. He only managed 4 miles.
I read on the internet that this was his second run that day. His first run was another 10 miler in 4:40, so no wonder he looks a bit tired.
source?
Another factor everyone is overlooking is the incline he may have had the treadmill set on.
A couple of things to keep in mind, heat build up,calibration of treadmill,was it on a grade and as already said was it cut down w/o and previous workouts.You really do not disperse heat very efficiently when running on the mill.

https://www.facebook.com/unscriptdsport/videos/935270033221883/?theaterBased on the time on the treadmill he ran 5:20 pace. Doesn't he seem unusually tired for having done that? Shouldn't that have been an easier run for him?
Could be out of shape. Could be playing it up. Could be massively fatigued from his training the previous days/weeks leading in.
Lol, i like how no one is pointing out that in the other video he was talking about he ran this at 5% incline and that i was almost 80 degrees in there.
This was probably his easy/recovery run. In which case very impressive. I think he knows what he's doing.
Yeah, he looks obese.
You do realize he's in an altitude tent!!!! which means we don't knw at what altitude he did this at do we...
5000 meters for elevation setting
"let me catch my breff" Ha !
totally sand bagging
Ok, I didn't read it on the internet.

No, because the video shows a 0 percent incline.
What's important is that we judge him based on how he appeared to breathe in a short self video right after a workout, not on any race results or his history.
He's not in an altitude tent, man.

Look at the video again. in the background is plastic sheeting or a plexiglass wall. Most likely he's in an altitude chamber. Whether it's on or not, who knows.
No, that's the tent around his bed where he sleeps.
