“When I change to that last gear. I actually visualise shifting gears in a car and immediately try to increase my leg turnover. During that last 200m, I focus on increasing speed but still saving one last gear for the last 50 metres.” — @shelbo800 .

lagat winning is bonkers but isn't it a bad sign for US running that a 43 year old won a national title?

ya I imagine it is. Lopez Lomong is just coming off winning the USA championships on track for 10k, and he got 5th (IIRC) in this race. Could have been dead from that, so to could people he competed with that night. But still there should be more Americans in solid enough shape to beat 30-40 year olds in a 10k road race.

look at the results.. dominated by people over 30 or late 20's, and 2 guys over 40.

i'd def say that's a bad sign for US running. How do you just not have more than enough young dudes capable of taking down those beasts? Apparently in Kenya, young Kenyans knock off top runners all of the time in XC races or dirt track races. Like you can expect to see "no names" go in there and beat the beasts (if they show up). The young folks are just itching to take down the best runners and make a name for themselves etc. Some random 10k XC results I found:

more misc results: (awesome find, I know!)

Also says some incredible things about longevity in running, 2 guys in there over 40 (Lagat=43, Castille=45).
