The Doha gold medalist, Joshua Cheptegai of Uganda, is at the top of his game. His win at WXC was also impressive. How fast can Joshua go for 5k on the roads on Feb 16? A little early for the Ugandan super star, but I can see a 13 minute 5k.

MONACO (MON): World 10,000m champion Joshua Cheptegei from Uganda will open his season at the 5km Herculis on February 16 where he could challenge the world record of 13:22 on Sunday. Cheptegei will face double European U23 champion Jimmy Gressier from France while Liv Westphal competes in the women’s race.
