Even though Bekele and Gebrselassie and Komen all owned this event, nobody pushed the pace harder than Komen did. Bekele and Gebrselassie frequently ran just under 13, if not 13:00 even. Komen just seeme to always push the pace sub 12:45, 12:41 is god damn near insane for a typical race. What an incredible caliber of running, two runners trying to best the other in a 12:41 5K... even Bekele only came this low to set records, not race.
Even though Komen’s career was relatively short, he was still one of the all time greats! He along with Gebreselassie and Bekele made the mid 90’s a golden age of distance running.
Not to forget, Dieter Baumann became the first European to run under 13 minutes in this race, finishing 5th in 12.54. Still the fastest time set by a runner born outside of Africa.
Por Dios! Haile Grebrselassie es una leyenda de leyendas, que remate tan brutal que se metio al final, se me erizo la piel y se me salieron las lagrimas al ver eso!! Sencillamente brutal, sin duda alguna el mejor Fondista de todos los tiempos y claro esta que Daniel Komen y Teragat también son unas leyendas... 👏👏👏😥 Que atletas por Dios y que remate te metiste Haile 👏👏👏
kinda winning is when you also almost break the world record behind the guy who broke the world record. Komen could walk away knowing he gave it his all and Gebrselassie was awesome that day!!!!
So what do they do in train8ng run sub 4 min mile intervals? I cant run 1 lap at their speed it is just unreal I ran a 2 min 8 sec 800m and once ran 2k in 6min10 sec on the road and that was when I was 29 now im 43 and i run about a 2min 20 800 these guys are running 2min 4 sec 800 the last mile was brutal

Komen was an animal front runner. Even in the world champs he would drop a 58 second lap with 5 laps to go.....

Komen goes down as one of the greatest distance runners in history. Haile looked back , that shows just how much of a legend he was.
Komen, Gebre, Tergat, les trois fantastiques réunis dans une même course. Le demi fond et fond des années 80 et 90 avait quelque chose d'irréel !
the greatest of all time
2023 TILL THIS DAY 12:41 NO ONE CAN TOUCH IT WITH THIS TECH SHOES
