    For the first time ever, I'm watching it live, uninterrupted, all 25 laps (unless NBC throws one in the live feed), no commentary.

    This is porn for track and field geeks!!!!:drinker:

      Wow. Those Kenyan women aren't even breaking a sweat yet. Incredible.

      Not sure exactly what the Japanese women were doing. Why force the pace like that if you can only keep it up for 3.5K??

      Lyle McDonald did an absolutely cracking set of articles about Kenyan distance runner within his "Why the US Sucks at Olympic Lifting" series: http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/training/why-the-us-sucks-at-olympic-lifting-part-1.html

      Fascinating stuff...

      These last 9 laps are going to be stonking!

      Did she have a jet pack strapped on her? I feel tired just looking at the pace of her last lap. :noway:

      That's what makes the top runners so tough to beat. They can run at any pace you want--fast, slow, in between--and then throw in a 2:10 last 800.

      Watching Dibaba in the last lap gave me goose bumps! AMAZING!! She finished the 10K in my 5K time! lol!

      I was thinking the same re. their 10k time being what I'd like to be able to do a 5k in!! Impressive stuff!

      Dibaba put on an amazing speed at the end. She didn't even look tired afterwards! I'd be happy with that for a 5k time, lol. ;)

      Congrats to everyone who finished. Of the top 14 finishers, 12 set personal best times!.

      You can't ask for more than to do your best.

      I was thinking the same. Her 10K record is sub 30 mins :noway:

      It was incredible to see her with a huge smile on her face, not even looking out of breath as she neared the finish!:happy: I am training for a 10k and she's totally an inspiration to keep working at it!

      I had my mouth hanging open for the last lap. I just cannot believe the way she sprinted that finish and just kept going.

      Watch this and the final push was freaking crazy. That woman is a freaking beast. Last lap and she looked like she was just jogging for the previous 24 laps. Just amazing. Cannot believe Ethiopia did not put her in the 5000m
