KAMWOROR 57.59 WR

I want to know what the course profile is from 10K to 15K because 13:31 for that split in a half is completely bonkers.

Remember this us the guy who ran the last 5K of 2018 world half marathon championships in 13:01! When Kamworor steps to the front, he often goes out fast till the finish line. He went there to break the record but it is stated that by 10K, he was behind schedule. That kind of "angered" him and he decided to take charge even before the Pacers were scheduled to drop out. I am very happy for him getting this record for I believe his strength lies between 15K and 30K. He can destroy any record between and including those distances. The marathon is a different story but he will scale down to 2:03 and not faster. His "problem " seems to be his arm carriage.

My favorite Kamworor quote from either Renato Canova or Patrick Sang, is that when Kamworor was discovered, they said, "he runs like young bull."

Amazing ground he covers with that powerful stride.

Well earned.

He already did it in world championships, if i'm not mistaken he did a 13:0something las 5k, helped by the wind i think...

May be no more credible than Kiptum's "record".

Un f-in real. Hot damn.

Countless East Africans busted for doping?

"I'm sure the ones still competing are clean though!"

Corrupt coaches and agents explicitly linked to doping?

"That's no guarantee that all their athletes dope!"

Men with 5 o'clock shadow and receding hairlines winning junior races?

"Life is just harder over there, they age faster!"

Proof that EPO is available over the counter and drug testing is nonexistent?

"Still doesn't mean they're cheating! They ran 20 miles to school every day!"

Cheater shoes with literal springs in them?

"Hey they only improve efficiency by 4%, they don't make you 4% faster!"

HONK HONK.

Well, the spring plate doesn't really act as a spring as you may think. But apart from that, I agree with everything you said.

Results? Top 10?

OH MY GOD

No, surprise for me ….I knew he was ready from his last training sessions . Big congrats to him !

It was really so unfortunate back in the fall of 2016 that he got sick in pneumonia when we had agreed to try together for the world record at 15 k in Seven hills road race in December that year.

Congratulations to the Italian coaches and doctors!!!!

He can now run the marathon in theory at 58:01 x 2 + 5 min = 2:01:02 ! …...I think he will reach at least that time during his career. He is only age 26 and have many years left…..

And now we talk about a regular marathon and not that 1:59 attempt by Kipchoge that soon will be .

This guy, another Kenyan, just smoked a CONFIRMED doped time and you bootlickers are just lapping it up.

When you honk into the abyss the abyss honks back into you.

+1

Kenya is on the IAAF's "Most At Risk Of Doping" list...no surprises there.

100% short course

Seriously something wrong with you 'short course, short track' gang.

You think every 5k split was measured short? Some kind of conspiracy? Kam was on pace for the entire race.

Today was perfect to run fast if you had pacers.

It was very very windy today but given the nature of the course it was a headwind for the first 11k then a huge tail pretty much to the finish.

So if you had pacers to shield you to 11k you can fly all the way home.

This is what happened. I would say this was perfect conditions for a WR on this course.

Not nearly as impressive as the Norwegian ones! Someway to go to match their accomplishments!

That confirmed doper basically came out of nowhere to break the WR.

Maybe you don’t follow the sport but Kamworor has been around a while and he’s really fvcking good at the half marathon specifically.

(And LOL to the Nietzsche x The_Donald mash-up.)

Maybe that explains the 13:31 split from 15k to 20k
