Could Bekele Break 13 Minutes in the 5k in a Pair of Vibrams? and we're talking Bekele in his world record form.
pros? cons? discuss!

I will entertain this absurd question, and say yes. It's not like track shoes have any real support or cushoning, so the only question is traction, and I suspect that WR form Bekele would not lose 23 seconds due to loss of traction.
Yes, but admittedly I have never worm vibrams so I can't comment with much confidence. I would think vibrams are better than running barefoot and I think he could probably break 13 barefoot.
Vibrams are heavier than the shoes he regularly wears, and offer no relative advantages. He "could" break 13 in Vibrams, but he has no reason to wear them.
If I could break 14:00 in my Vibrams in a road race, he can easily break 13:00.

Again we are talk about the 5k not the 1 mile fun run.
I think he could do it in a pair of Shox.

Sure enough. We are.
I ran a road 5K in 13:58.
He could break 12 in Newtons. :D

Sorry I can't divulge my real identity. I don't want to be swamped with fan posts.
He said vibrams not a douche mask, you face bag.

Relax, why do you need to call your daddy into this? Anywayz, my daddy can beat your daddy up any day.
And yes, I ran the 13:58. I don't understand why it is impossible. It's just a coupla seconds under 14:00. I know several folks at Stanford who run sub-14:00 easily.
LOLOL Thats some funny shat right there.
no because he would turn gay
He'd brake 12:00 with vibrams and 11:00 with vibrams and decreasing running volume and adding crossfit workouts.
