Bekele is also, of course, running the Great Ireland Run 10K on April 15. The Doha meet kicks off the Diamond League and it will be interesting to see what kind of shape Bekele is in. Kaki will face Kiprop, Kiplagat and Choge in the 1500.

There are conflicting reports as to which race Kaki will contest here. He may be in the 800 against Yego and Laalou.
I'd rather see Choge and Kiprop do the 3000m with Bekele instead. Kiprop beat Bekele in 3K Cross Country this year, lets see if he can beat him in a 3K on the track.
Beks goes sub-7:30 or bust.
Allistar Craig is salivating at the opportunity.
I think Vivian will run 14:11:36 a world record. I heard Vivian's running london 10000 meters but not sure weather she'll run 5000 meters. Vivian has the ability to improve 30:47 10k. Doesn't she want to line up for mancheser 10k to improve 30:47?
Makes sense - short travel, similar time zone. No need to travel to Shanghai or Eugene and interrupt his training.
Would like to know how he went from 27.30+ shape to 26.45 in 2 wks
maybe he was overtraining and ran that 10k to close to his training without giving himself or his body time to absorb the training. who knows. it's kind of mysterious when drug testing starts getting more funding and people like bekele and webb start dropping off. like, really, they can't get back to anywhere near the same shape as before? even the shape they were in in high school?

Since you obviously know her so well; why don't you just ask her?
isn't that clear?:)
She's from Kenya and London. I have to fly an airplane to see her. Vivian should line up for Paderborn and Wurzburg 10k.

27:30 is nowhere near his potential. So rapid improvements were to be expected.

Webb has had this pattern of good/bad since high school so I'm not sure that's a good example of your point. And Bekele ran 26:4x just last year so I don't see how that isn't better than Bekele's high school 10k time.
I DO NOT THINK HE WILL PERFORM WELL!!!!!

Maybe he has something in his ass.

Yeah I know its not like he can run 26:17 or something..oh.
Boston Paris, and London Marathon are happening sooner than Doha 5000 meters. You should talk about Mary Keitany and how she's going to run 2:17:42.
Anything think Vivian Cheruiyot will debut at London Marathon in 2016 or 2017? It's good she doesn't run marathon right now. Vivian has unfinished business on the track like london 10000. After London she should think about Belgium world half marathon.
