MO said he wanted the British record low 2:07 but when asked, "if leaders hit WR pace at the half would he follow"? He replied why not.
He should stop lieing, have he ever had a race at the half at WR pace at any race over 1500m outdoors? One reason I'm not a fan of his, can't stand kickers who NEVER test their limit in ANY race...not even once.
Maybe he isn't faster than his PRs. You seem to be implying he is.

He’s implying that he is faster than his PR’s because he is faster than his PR’s. I don’t see how you could think his bests were all out balls to the walls efforts.
Mo has a shot at the British record, but even 2:06 may be out of reach.
Consider how he compares to Karoki:
Better at the 10,000 (26:46 to 26:59 and wins every contest)
Worse at the half (59:22 to 58:42 and not even close in Cardiff)
Karoki's marathon performances so far are relatively poor (2:07:41 for 3rd at London and 2:08:44 for 4th at Fukuoka). It's early, but I think Karoki is one of those guys that excels at the half, but is not a serious contender to win at major marathons. Same for Farah, but worse: very good but not world beating at the half and not even in the conversation for the win.

:) Nice. Isn't that the definition of a PR - that you can't go faster than it?

No, you're thinking of Personal Limit (PL).
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
