well el G ran 7:23 (3k) and 12:50 (5k)
if the 5k is "slow" that could still mean like 35,4:30,4:30,3:50 for the 200 + 1600m splits = 13:25 5k, i would say that constitutes as a "slower" time. and i think el G can close the final 1600m of a race better than mo could. might be different over the last 400-800 though.
