Right now, though, I don't know if the Africans are used to a 10000 guy with something like 48 400 speed. Bekele does not have that, nor did Geb. If they go out in a tactical race around 27:10-15 like they did last year, he's going to eat them alive. Remember what El Guerrouj did to Bekele in that 5000.
Your on to something coach , this kid needs a coach if he is to be able to do what his talent is showing us. At world class levels everybody runs sub55 last 400's , difference is that they are at 27 min pace and have thrown in sub 60 surges throughout the race.
