Mo Farah: "I’m not quite in the shape I’d like to be at this stage but I’m moving well so I hope it’ll go well"

[/quote]

In love the fact that people on here seem to think a kick is a 100% innate quality and no matter what he can execute this magic kick like some sort of computer game. Fact is you have to have be well below your red line for the preceding 9k to be able to kick no matter how much potential you have to run fast at the end of a race.[/quote]

I also love the fact that ppl around think in a fast race from the gun Mo Farah wont be able to hang on and somehow he will get dropped in a jiffy

In part, Mo is messing with the heads of his competitors with this.

Even if they know it, it could give them false confidence in kicking off a slow pace.

Wasn't Farah supposed to leave the track after Rio?

Why we have to watch another sit and kick?

Considering Mo ran a 27,13 in hot weather recently he is of course difficult to drop. But if they run 26,30- 26.40 pace down to the last laps it can be that he hasn`t the same energy for his patented kick as usual, and then Kam is not a bad kicker if he has more energy then Mo left. Another scenario is that the kenyans together with the Uganda runner will run as a kind of relay team against Mo and make him confused if to follow or not.

Here are the different race scenarios:

1. Sit and kick race-Mo wins.

2. Grind through 8.5k, but then everyone eases off for a couple laps to get ready for the final kick-Mo wins.

3. They push hard for the full 10k, there is a good chance Mo hangs on and still moved to the front in the last 80 meters.

4. They push hard for the full 10k, and manage to put a gap on Mo with two laps to go. 50% chance Mo doesn't win. 50% Mo closes the gap on the last lap and wins.

Here are my ratings that he wins:

1. 97%

2. 97%

3. 97%

4. 50%

Because that's the best chance he'll get beat.

His best event is the 1500m, and he gets weaker from thereafter.

Mind games. Farah is ready as usual, and unless the Kenyans are ready to sacrifice two of their runners to push the pace very hard, no way way Farah loses.

Yes, a guy who 26:52 over 2 years ago is gonna run 26:30 pace and then outkick the most decorated distance runnner of the last 10 years. Lol.

No there are never 'team tactics' and none of these East Africans ever have the hubris to 'just go'.

Chelimo can't pull the usatf Shiite at worlds.

It's the same every time.

Big talk.

No follow through.

Mo ftwx2.

Mentioning Kamworor brands you as a moran. But we knew that already from your other idyotic posting.

Why is only Mo responsible for the tactics?

So good he controls the speed his competitors run at too...

WHY NOT?

this year is the most vulnerable mo has every been. frankly put he is getting older and can't run like he could before. this happened to bekele, haile, and so many others. as dominate as you are, one yr- even if your previous year was great- you just lose. 13 flat at pre was impressive, but it sounds like he hasn't progressed from that. also, that ostrava 10k was disappointing to say least

This is just a great head fake for the africans. You don't want to show all your cards. Without question they are plotting on how to beat him.

Anyway it`s not gonna be as easy as usual to win the 10000m. I know the kenyans try to find a different approach this time. They know they can`t give him a kickers race. It gonna be a "hell" of a race!

COACH J.S

They've know that for the last 5 years

She had to type out period because she ended with an exclamation mark. She knows enough not to put those two punctuation marks next to each other.
