Not a Paul Chelimo fan, given he hasn’t raced this year in the US due to living and training in Kenya and recently dropped out of the 5k at Pre for no publicized reason. Did his contractual commitment and bailed.
Not a Paul Chelimo fan, due to being part of the US Army team that is exclusively African men and women that gained US citizenship by being part of this team structure at tax payer expense. Granted he and others are not the ones at fault; the apparatus is there to take advantage of and not have to do anything more than basic training.

Hate to break it to you, but Paul Chelimo and the rest of WCAP are all now taxpayers!

Found the middle-aged white dude with a "unique perspective"

re: This is Jim Kiler

I ran in a cross country race with Chelimo once. He went out in 4:16 for the first mile of an 8k race. We were all at 4:4x but he was 200 m ahead at that point or so. I knew that he was going to be world class one day. I have no doubts Chelimo can do big things.

I'm no Paul Chelimo fan, but this is how you do it, kids. Were I Joe, I'd scratch from the 5K, too.
By the way, Seth, Paul "spikes up" because he races in spikes. Take note.

What's it like having a small brain?

You think he actually won't make another team is comical. You mean a 5K or 10K team?
This is no different than any other athlete that will move up in distance. Paul has already shown to be a f***ing beast on the roads with a big tank. He has the mechanics to perform well all the way up to the marathon. Would bet it all he makes another team.

Well considering it looks like multiple people agree with me and nobody agrees with you leads me to believe you are probably his coach or something coming to the defense. Actions speak louder then words and I am saying he is losing the magic!

Made me think of this 12x400m session shared by a LetsRunner from Jacob Krop. Slightly higher altitude (6,900') and faster avg. 57 instead of 58-59 though he started in the 60-61 range per the report. Krop got more rest 1:30 -> 2'+ as the session went on. This bodes well for Chelimo as Krop ran his 12:46 nine days after the session. Slightly different sessions but both basically hitting mile goal pace with short rest and shocking the system at altitude.

That post bothers the hell out of me. You don't "tolerate" lactate. You metabolize it. It's converted back to glucose for use as fuel. This has been known for decades.

Lucky for track coaches, it doesn't make much of a difference whether they know this or not.
