You run faster on the track. Geb's 10k on the road was 27:02. Kipruto should at least be able to get below 26:00 based off that. It's crazy but Bekele's record is numbered!
That's wrong.
Now, you run faster on the road than on the tracks. It has been reversed.
Geb's record is based on a time where the marathon record was 2:06, now it's 2:01.
The shoes have broken the road, add that the super fast road, shady measuring and the straight lines and you have the road faster than the track.
Fact: both Cheptegei and Kipruto have better record on the road than on the track.
Other fun fact, Kipruto record on the 5000m in the track is 13:07
