RE: BREAKING: Bekele is UPDATE

I saw him jogging by the water, he was pacing other elites, looked real smooth. Expect big things.

First London 2:02?

jesus is he even going to have anything left in the tank for sunday?

Dang that surge at the end... such guts! Wanjiru would be proud!

I don't know, Kipchoge looks every bit as fit in that video. Gonna be a real barn burner.

Shot to bits, that man. The brightest stars burn fastest.

Bekele looks relaxed in the video.

Too bad about Ryan Hall's DNF, but he made the race.

This thread is awesome

Someone leaked a grainy video of Kenny doing 10 by 1600m with three minute rest (ranging 4:13 to 4:06 by my iPhone stopwatch; hard to see the start/finish) just minutes after Bekele smoked those scrubs in OP's video. Needless to say he'll be fine. I'll track down the link.

But was he in trainers?

I think he was in Vibrams.

This is a clear sign of doping right??? A guy who has been out of it for years doesn't just crush the best marathoners in the world like that!

No, it's just a sign that WADA pressure on Kenya is finally working. Ethiopia is next.

That is actually terrible training for a marathon.

You've attempted a 2:02?

Why are all of the elites wearing themselves out like that so close to the race? The London Marathon is this weekend, isn't it?

I think Kipchoge is going to duct tape the sole of his shoes to the bottom this time and will have a good shot at a WR.

I saw him running on water.... looked effortless. Expect a CR.

It's called maintenance. They are fitter than you can even imagine.
