"The workout".
The workout will benefit him not now, but right when Rio happens. He is unbeatable IMO based on performance last year and that workout.
Both the links to races are from last season!
I have no doubt that Kiprop at his peak could beat anyone else currently competing at their peaks.
The issue I have is claiming that Kiprop could beat any other athlete from history RIGHT NOW.
I think there are a handful of athletes from the past who would, at the least, give him a close race when all are at their best.
Kiprop shouldn't be at his best in early June when the Olympics are in August. People are basing wild claims of his invincibility based on what he has done in the past and what he is alleged to have done in training.
Based on the 2 races I have seen him run THIS season, he looks to be the best currently and a clear favourite for Rio, but I don't think he's in 3:26 shape just yet, and I think that in his current form, based on statistical analysis, as there is no way of measuring ease of effort, there have been quite a few from previous years who could beat him.
Showing peak performances from last year does not back up the suggestion he is CURRENTLY invincible against all other runners from history!
