Jake Robertson is eyeing Mo Farah: "If my brother and I are in shape we at least can make him hurt for it"

cool story bro

Generally the NZ Herald is fake news, the thing about the Robertsons is that if you hype them, they underperform. But if you ignore them, because they are essentially Kenyans now, they are dangerous.

Sounds like German F. It's the unofficial official policy of LetsRun.com to not mention him at all on the front page ever again.

I didn't even type his last name on this thread as I don't want him to find it if he has a google news alert for his name.

What's this?

They have spent too much time in Kenya that they have acted like the Kenyans. Talking big about challenging Farah.

Not a fan and I wish people would stop associating them with Kenya. Nothing Kenyan about them. By the way, does anyone know why Ethiopia didn't work out for them? They barely lasted a couple of months after all that crap they talked about Kenya last year.

Well, I hope they've started doing their "push-ups".

What was wrong with him, and how did they figure it out? What's the story?

IIRC he had a persistent calf injury that actually turned out to be a nerve in his spine that was being compressed.

"The problem was diagnosed properly by the SUB2 team as a nervous system problem in my back," he explains. "The sciatic nerve, which run down the knee into the top of my calf was creating the sensation that my calf was tearing, even though it wasn't. It was actually a huge sense of relief to hear the doctor talking through the symptoms. I thought, if he can recognise the problem then he must know what to do to fix the problem. It was an amazing feeling."

Come on they are pretty much Kenyans now, albinos.

Not sure that both actually moved to Ethiopia, looked to me like Zane moved there then got injured and moved back. Ethiopia might not be as hospitable as Kenya.

"crap they talked about Kenya last year"??? The death threats might be an exaggeration but were the doping claims?

I dont know if they will be able to give MF a run for his money, but they are both trending up, as per recent road results. They pretty much lead that Adidas & Nike groups they train with in Kenya, as per their Twitter accounts.

It would be a good story if one of them or a Patrick Tiernan breaks the stronghold of the East Africans and MF at that distance....

For now keep an eye on that Bangalore 10k over the weekend which is loaded and with Zane joining the fun....

Should be interesting, will it be screened on any online channels?

This is funny. Good job.

You are just a racist who likely doesn't consider Brother Colm a Kenyan.

"If my brother and I are in shape we at least can make him hurt for it"

FINALLY. I hope Jake gets in shape enough to take a go at Farah and finally someone would be brave enough to just run as fast as they can from the start and take it to him. If Jake can't, expect the same: Everyone slows to whatever pace Mo sets and he destroys you over the last 800-1000. Same as always.

Mo is 34. When someone finally does end his dominance that person shouldn't be celebrated too much. Mo's reign may very well end because he got old and not because there is someone better than him.

They'll make Mo hurt for 1 or two laps but that's about it.

Jake and Zane running tactically fast from the gun to take the late race kick away from Mo. Yes...Let that dream become reality.
