    Exactly, maybe it was muddy, or being the first run after an off day you can feel sluggish. Or simply he might have had a bad day and not feel very good. That's it.

    Or maybe it was exactly as planned and these guys actually know what they're doing. As referenced above compare it to the likes of Kipchoge, Mosop, etc.

    But the long moderate run was actually not moderate; it was slower than he ran his easy days with Alberto.

    20k in 78 minutes is slower than 6:00/mile.

    More slower recovery runs than

    Probably time of the year dependant, no sprinting nowadays but the Tuesday 1kms are impressive, looks like he blew out on the 6th rep.

    Great one, very few marathoners do such fast repeats, not many could hang on with Mo for such a hard workout.
