Let me be clear, he rewrote the history books on distance running in a few years. Live high, train high, eat clean, REST, ignore immense suffering, and YOU will find your way out of poverty.

Plus he had ability to maintain the speed for a lot. Like 21km at 2.45/km (58/58.05hm) he may be run under 58' also. I. Think he express his potential better on road then a track, obv he is so strong, he run at other level making other fast athletes like club. Athletes.
