No, instead he goes straight to the back as if he has to race taticly against that shitty field. For those the think Mo Farah is the GOAT, let me ask, why does he not go for times, exspecially in set up races like these. I got the awnser, it's because its because hes a scared p*ssy
he runs like a p*ssy because he is a shot fighter
at his peak he was awesome
that peak was in '15 when he ran that 3'28.8 virtually undrafted behind Asbel who had escaped from him & was well ahead
with 2nd set of pacers specially for mo & he couda gone ~ 3'27-flat !!!
his 10k wouda been ~ 26'30
his lines of fit then were
~ 49.25 / 1'44.75 ->
3'27.03
4'42.53
7'17.51
12'37.96
26'34.05
to
~ 49.50 / 1'45.00->
3'27.08
4'42.33
7'16.66
12'35.39
26'25.79
( i only do estimates with 0.25s variation in 400/800 as otherwise there will be too many to do )
he couda slaughtered the 3k WR & even shot at 5k wr but never the 10k as weakest event - what do you expect with 3'27-flat ability !!!
now, his estimates are based on today & ostrava 10k which didn't look better than ~ 26'50 if not for 82F :
~ 50.50 / 1'47.00 ->
3'30.83
4'47.33
7'24.16
12'47.89
26'50.79
the bottom line is compared to peak of 2y ago, his basic 400 speed has slowed by at least 1s, the 1500 by nearly 4s !!!, the 3k by 7- 8s, the 5k by ~ 10s !! & 10k by ~ 25s !!!
( it is obvious why he has dropped out of monaco 1500
his current shape woud only just dip into 3'30s & this is a wr attempt where you coud get 2 guys running 3'25+ !!! & mo doesn't want to be humiliated with a 6th or 7th place finish in 3'30-high at absolute best )
certainly there is no way he shoud win the 10k in london if the Kenyans go out in just a pathetic 26'40 pace but he is still a big threat over 5k as i see edris as only other current guy in < 12'50 shape
