Pretty sure she ran her 2:19 in Berlin
Keitany will probably win.
Yawn is correct, it was Berlin where she ran 2:19, Chicago, as the interview indicates was 2:21 and 2:23.
Keitany is the favourite, but anything can and often does happen in a marathon.
Vivian might surprise everyone with a 2:18 debut and a win! I see her finishing no lower than second. Kiplagat at the moment is a 2:21 - 2:23 runner, maybe 2:20 high. With Keitany, she doesn't seem to be the fearless runner she was back in 2011- 2013 where she would just take off and run alone to the finish line(remember her 67 mins first half in New York?). I know she just ran a huge PR for her half marathon in Ras Al Khaima half in February and if she will translate that huge improvement into the marathon then we could have a low 2:18 or even high 2:17 race.
May the best pharmacist win!
Hey VC,
She says in the interview that her training is going better than before Chicago. I assume Chicago and London are equal courses for time.
She ran 2:21 in Chicago and is going for sub-2:20 from the gun. So obviously depending on weather, she will either run a 2:18/19 or blow up.....2:28 or something. Considering her record of not blowing up, I am going to say that she is good for the win with just as much chance for Vivian and Keitany. Could be an exciting finish.
