It was a relatively low-key season in terms of performances in the men’s 5000m with only four athletes running faster than 13 minutes during the 2014 season. But one of these four was easily the best overall with the others running less consistently during the summer.

Caleb Ndiku, who had previously been a 1,500m specialist, started the season with a world indoor title over 3,000m. The 22-year-old Kenyan was unbeaten in his five total races in 3,000m and won all important 5,000m races as well.
