NAIROBI， May 10 (Xinhua) -- Kenya' s Asbel Kiprop will be the man to beat in the Bowerman Mile field at the third stop of the IAAF Diamond League meet at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene， Oregon in the USA.


Kiprop is currently the world' s top miler. At 26， he has already won four major gold medals， the first as a 19-year-old at the 2008 Beijing Olympics over 1500m.


Last year he won his third consecutive world title at the distance， equaling the achievement of world record-holder Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco.


Kiprop， who won the Diamond Race in 2010 and 2015， has won the Bowerman Mile three times. This summer in Rio， Kiprop hopes to become the first Kenyan to win two Olympic 1500m titles.


His campaign kicked off with a great start， winning the 1500m at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Doha last weekend in a world-leading 3:32.15.


"I always try and focus on the race at hand and not the biggest race the season has. Now we are talking about Eugene Diamond League meet and I believe I have shown that I have regained my form after the recess，" he said on Tuesday from Eldoret.


However， the former Olympic champion believes he will not be going for the record because the end game is not to burn out early prior to the Olympics.


"The world record will just fall into place. We do not brag about it because everything has to be perfect，" he added.


Another Kenyan Silas Kiplagat， a two-time Diamond Race winner， will also be returning to Eugene.


Throughout their careers， Kiplagat and Kiprop have faced each other 35 times in the 1500m and mile， and Kiprop owns an 18-17 edge. In the Bowerman Mile， however， Kiplagat has a 3-2 lead.


There is also upcoming Elijah Manangoi， who came out of nowhere last year to give Kiprop his most recent challenge.


He set a personal best time of 3:29.67 in Monaco before taking the silver medal behind Kiprop in Beijing. In Eugene， the 23-year-old will be contesting his first ever mile race.


Ayanleh Souleiman will be defending his Bowerman Mile title， having won it last year for the second time in his career. His previous victory came in 2014 when he set a meeting record of 3:47.32.


The 2014 world indoor 1500m champion and 2013 world 800m bronze medallist set a world indoor 1000m record earlier this year.


Kenya' s Ronald Kwemoi broke the world junior 1500m record in 2014 with a time of 3:28.81 before going on to take medals at the Commonwealth Games and the African Championships later that year. He set a mile personal best time of 3:52.57 in Eugene last year.


Commonwealth champion James Magut has twice won the international mile in Eugene. In 2014 he contested the Bowerman Mile at Hayward Field and set a lifetime best of 3:49.43.

I've always worked out in just a plain pair of tennis shoes. Rarely to I see or even think that using special shoes would make any difference at all. However http://www.redskinsfansstore.com/Redskins-Orlando-Scandrick-Draft-Jersey/ , I began to think of better shoe support when I started doing heavy squats. This prompted me to do a little research in specific type shoes for working out that would give me better ankle support and put my feet in a more level position for squats and leg presses.

After some Googling around, I came across the Otomix brand of shoes. There's virtually nothing on the net about workout shoes. There's even less in bodybuilding forums about the subject. Yet soccer players have special shoes, and so do most other athletes. Tennis shoes are great for running but they didn't seem to be wonderful when it came to squatting and doing other heavy leg exercises.

These shoes ( a few versions are available) sell for around $95 on average depending on the website you find, and the sales being offered. With some clever searching, you can find a great price. I ordered my Otomix Ultimate Trainers online and was pleased to see many e-mail and tracking notifications about my order. According to Otomix, these workout shoes were specifically for:

Ultimate Trainer has been designed specifically for weight training and incorporates the new High Performance Bodybuilding system. The HPB system provides a combination of comfort and support utilizing a special wrap around strap adjusted by our innovative lacing system. This shoe is a must for the serious bodybuilder.

Note: Their shoes run a half size small compared to your true shoe size. They suggest that you order a half size larger.
Quickly I opened the box and found everything intact and in brand new condition. I was ready for my leg workout.

Adjusting the laces properly is a must. It came from the factory like most shoes. It wasn't laced thru each of the holes. I fixed the laces and found the shoes to fit nicely and very snug. I felt ankle support and was able to tighten them like a snowboarding boot but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. I headed off to the squat rack.

Doing squats is something I enjoy. Honestly, I enjoy them a bit more now with full support for my feet. These shoes were great first time. NO break in period was necessary. They were comfortable, gave strong ankle support and allowed me to do full squats without any annoying feet issues. I felt like my feet were flat and firmly place on the floor with good traction. Moving onto the leg press, same thing. NO odd arches, no slippage, and good solid firm foot placement for a good pressing motion.

I only use these shoes on leg days. That is really where I want the support. I do not wear them outside for walking around. They are just like gym gloves. Used in that environment as appropriate. The soles of the shoe are good for traction in a smooth, flat gym environment. These particular shoes are not made to be worn as a street shoe. That would be a big mistake. You'd wear out the tread in days and be out $100 very fast. However, in the gym, where they are meant to be, these.
