The Ethiopian great is racing for the first time in more than 18 months.
“It’s not like five years ago when people were crippled getting on the podium,” he said. “Now people are recovering better.”
Bekele never ran the World Cross Country after that and whether it was correlation or causation, he never hit the same level on the track.His success brought him great wealth and Bekele became more involved in business, which took much time and energy away from training. When he had a goal in sight, Bekele trained hard. When it was far away, he grew distracted, meaning he was often playing catch-up with his training and eating habits before races.
On Sunday a trio of pacemakers will take Bekele to halfway in about 61 minutes—the exact pace has yet to be decided—with the weather conditions during the race looking calm and dry with temperatures slightly warmer than optimal.
