Not sure if it's a troll or actually Nick Bester, but there's some fantastic comments on Fox's marathon page, on the above link.
Fox wrote on his Strava that he faded due to cramps and he's not sure on the cause. Maybe he should spend less time experimenting with "supplements", travelling to places like the Moroccan mountains, associating with dodgy characters, and more time simply running twice a day.
so both Matt & Nick professed that now they were in the best shape of their lives and then both proceeded to run 2:21 (separately since they are feuding) after failing yet again to go sub 2:20. yay we'll be treated to more of them in road to 2:20 series number infinity.
maybe Nick could've gotten it in Seville but IMO went out too aggressively and got greedy. Fox always has "cramping problems." Why? He'd love to know and I know if he knew he'd waste no time in telling us.
3. Arch nemesis Nick Bester used dark magic to put a curse on Matt Fox, causing debilitating cramps and hallucinations in the last 12k
Turns out I was right on #3. On a related note, do the sweat elite stans hate the best athletics stans? Or are they the same stans, hopping from channel to channel like a divorced kid whose parents hate each other
His Strava stated that he ran at "90% effort". Wow. he finally paced a marathon correctly. In all his 2:20 attempts, going out too hard results in "cramping" or whatever other name you want to place on the classic marathon bonk. This is a guy who thinks that reaching mile 20 of a marathon means you are basically that good. Nope. I could probably get to mile 20 like 15 seconds per mile faster than i could do all 20.
