Michah Kogo’s superb run last Sunday over 10k, where he ran the fastest legal time in the world over that distance-27:01! Ricky Simms, the manager of Micah Kogo, sent us more information on Kogos’ record run from Sunday, plus a chance to watch it!
We have been able to provide you both a link and an embedded file of the race. Note Kogo’s smooth running style and his comments after the race. Kogo noted that he had been hoping for a fast time since 2007. Well, he has one now!
