Has Mo moved on from coach Al Sal?
I don't see anywhere that he indicates he is training under coach jama aden
I was waiting for this to break.
Anyone know WHERE exactly this is? I'm pretty sure it's Ethiopia.
Remember that Aden trained makhloufi, as well as that world jr 1500 champ washout. Torrence is also part of the group, as is Kaki, so maybe he's dropping down in distance this year?

That's gotta be Kenny B's track (Sululta). Ryan Hall tweeted about seeing Jama Aden's group in Ethiopia last year as well. It does look like Jama wearing the hat, Kaki (in front) and Souleiman (back right) but I wouldn't know for sure.
Maybe since Bekele built that soft all-weather track a couple years ago it has become a better place to train than Kenya?
He's trained in Ethiopia before.
The location is actually Yaya Village on the outskirts of Adis the capital of Ethiopia so its not Bekele's track .
Mo didn't leave Salazar , for the past 6 yrs he's been doing his high altitude training in Africa mostly in Kenya
In the pic these are Qatari track and field athletes

The one near Yaya Village is the one Bekele built isn't it?

That's a novel idea, to have an incline like that.
No, Haile Gebre Selassie owns Yaya village track
Bekele's owns Sululita as someone mentioned
Haile Gebreselassie part owns Yaya Village, but that doesn't have a synthetic track - visitors use Bekele's track (the one shown in the pic), located approximately 10 minutes jog down the road.

It is an advantage to train on soft surfaces/tracks: gravel, packed dirt, golf-course grass (especially for track w.o. when it is an accurate 400m shape).
The more all-weather synthetic tracks I see popping up in east africa, the worse off these athletes are going to be over the long run.
Mo has been training in East Africa since 2008.
Yaya Village was conceived and built by Joseph Kibur who was Junior and Senior XC Champ in Canada. Gebreselassie is a shareholder
Kenya inotst a good place to dope at moment. Better find another isolate location to stick the needles up their arses.

I don't understand why a soft synthetic surface is bad. Please enlighten me.
