Komentarz do artykułu Drugi maraton Kenenisy Bekele. Czy Etiopczyk wygra w Chicago?

Jakaś taka mocno "tabloidowa" ta relacja, zegar zniknął chwilę przed tym jak chłopaki wbiegli na matę po (chyba) połowie dystansu, a zaraz potem, bez podawania żadnych międzyczasów, wrzucili mapkę z informacją o temperaturze w poszczególnych częściach trasy, no dzięki za info .

CHICAGO — Eliud Kipchoge won the Chicago Marathon on Sunday to lead a 1-2-3 finish for Kenyan men.

Kipchoge pulled away over the last two miles for his first major marathon victory, finishing in 2 hours, 4 minutes, 11 seconds. He was followed by Sammy Kitwara in 2:04:28 and Dickson Chumba in 2:04:32.

Ideal conditions — sunny skies and 46-degree temperatures — greeted the runners at the start. The men's pack stayed together for about 20 miles before Kipchoge, Kitwara and Chumba drew away.

Kipchoge and Kitwara were side by side with Chumba right behind after 24 miles. But Kipchoge made it look easy down the stretch. He made a quick burst and was in command as he headed toward the finish at Grant Park.

A Kenenisa Bekele czwarty z czasem 2:05:51.

Relacja z biegu była fatalna.
Miejscami żałowałem, że nie poszedłem w tym czasie na grzyby.
To był jakiś patriotyczny folklor z sąsiedzkimi wywiadami, przerywany ciągłymi relacjami o pogodzie. Do tego brak stabilizacji obrazu z kamery na jadącym z czołówką motorze i zakłócenia.
Najbardziej podobała mi się pani Alicja, dziennikarka stojąca na pierwszej mili, która powtarzała jak nakręcona, że jest so eksajted, bo tempriczer is perfekt. Nie wiem, gdzie mierzyła sobie ten tempriczer, ale na pewno nie w pupie, bo tam już było miejsce zajęte przez wydarzenia z trasy biegu.

nie oglądałem relacji (byłem na biegu 10km :P ) więc odniosę się do tego co widziałem w TV
w Paryżu i do relacji -już po - z Chicago.
Nie będę ukrywał, że jestem trochę zaskoczony. W sumie <2:05 w przypadku Kenenisy
wydawało się jak najbardziej realne. Z drugiej strony - kto by nie chciał mieć takiej "niedyspozycji"
i ot tak pobiec maraton po 2:59-3:00/km?? :D
Na zakończenie: post R. Canovy na temat K.B (z 2004) skonfrontujcie to sobie z aktualną sytuacją :D

Kenenisa is absolutely a phenomenon out of every rule. Gebre was not a phenomenon, but a top runner with a phenomenal brain. He was the first Ethiopian able to understand the modern athletic, very different from the past, when athletes can prepare and compete only for 2-3 events during a season. The secret of Gebre was his continuity in training. In training, you never have to replace some type of workout, but always to add something. He was the best example for young Ethiopians. His presence in Ethiopian athletics is fundamental. He has charisma, and every one follows his example.
I have the example of Nicholas Kemboi, my athlete that last year was able, in two months with me in St. Moritz, to move from 28:19 to 26:30. Being so young, it's not possible that in two months he could already reach his top. So, what Nicholas has less than Bekele ?
The values that I said before : perseverance, professionalism and seriousness. Nicholas is very serious, but to be serious in your life doesn't mean to be serious in training. Bekele, after winning World Championships, soon had in his mind the focus of beating the World Records of Gebre, didn't lose time, and used the winter for improving in his qualities.
About the possibility of Bekele, believe me, he is still very far from his top. In Ostrava was windy, and his first half was normal. I think that in two years is really possible for him running under 26:00.
He has not the change of speed of the young Gebre or of Yifter, but seems to Viren in his final progression. His threshold is the higher all time. He has a natural hematocrite of 49%, while Gebre had 41%. He is technically perfect, and is very strong in his muscles.
But his main quality is his recovery. After a very tough workout, he can have only one day of easy run, then is able to work again two days later.
