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.

Cool to see Sable from India in there too
Not a Paul Chelimo fan, especially after his performance last year at USA 5k where he ran Woody and Grant out to lane 5 in the final 75m.
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.
Big Paul Chelimo fan because
He can take a race out when no one else will and dominate
He can kick like a motherf*cker
Two Olympic Medals
He ain't here to pace the Bowerman track Club
And these kind of snowflakes make me an even bigger Paul Chelimo fan.

I think Chelimo is great, though I didn't like his Olympics race where he seemed to be intentionally sabotaging Nicholas Kimeli and probably could've/should've been DQ'ed. The pushing out Bowerman stuff at USA was kinda funny and they could've made him pay by zigzagging him. That being said, he's entertaining, shares good videos and hopefully is ready to roll in the US Final.

I can't remember anyone ever getting criticized before for choosing not to race a 5000 qualifier after making the World Championships 10,000 team. Kinda weird.
Hey Kiler, you probably have more experience on tracks than I ever will. I have access to a rubberized track; it’s basically a couple of layers of red rubbery material overlaid on a concrete base. It’s bubbling up in a couple of places.
I don’t know where it sits amongst various track surfaces (but at least it’s not as hard as an asphalt track.) Is it typical? In your opinion, how hard is the track Chelimo is running on in comparison?
I think it would be cool just to walk and run a bit on an ‘elite’ track surface (like the London Olympic Stadium track surface.)
The best I ever had was ground-up-tires repurposed on a Midwestern high school many decades ago, though Potts for a time was pretty fun. I'm a believer in dirt tracks now, though, and "flats" only on the fastest days and for racing.
How is this a 5,000m specific workout? The reps are at his 1500m race pace.
Maybe it’s specific for 5000m races that are ‘tactical closers’.
Because if you can cruise at 58-59, then 62 in a race feels relaxed
CHELIMO!!
Yes, but there is only a need of running/ cruise them in training at 60-61 sec to get enough maxVO2 speed to break the world record at 5000m and be the first man sub 12:30 .
