Also implies he has a coach he's had since after Valencia. Kiptum and Jacob Kiplimo are my top 2 picks to go under 2. I could also see Aregawi being a contender for it.
I also want to believe Kiptum his clean, but IMO the performance is hard to put into any context that makes sense to me.
I think Kipchoge is mighty disappointed with his Boston race and will come back in the Fall to go after his WR again at Berlin. I don’t think Kiptum will be there because I think Kiptum will get busted before then, or have an “injury”.
Yes, I do. Anyone who runs 27.50 clean for the last 10k would approach the current 10k record if doped. At the end of a marathon. And also run sub-2. Oh - and he comes from a country that dopes more heavily than any other except the one country that has been banned.

No you don't. Being a narcissistic sociopath makes you think you know, but that doesn't make it true.
27:50 is almost 1:30 from the world record. And Kiptum never ran sub 2.
Let's forget the doping part. If everybody's doping, as you seem to think, at least there's a level playing field and we can leave it out of the equation.
On-topic, Kipchoge is not superhuman. If he can run those times at 38, surely a younger guy can run faster.

There is no question Kelvin can go faster than the current WR based on London. It is more than possible that he breaks 2. If he isn’t busted both of those things are very likely.

You have just proven what a narcissistic sociopath thinks he knows. And you're wrong. 27.50 at the end of a marathon is insane. It is almost as fast as Ron Clarke's wr over the distance. And Clarke was a great talent who trained hard. But didn't dope, apparently. He left that to the Kenyans.

As he is a Kenyan the chances of all of the above are very high.

No younger guy has run faster than the "38 year old" yet.

You have just proven you can't read, Narcissus.
I am not wrong. I never stated 27:50 at the end of a marathon is not extremely fast. I just corrected your silly assumption that he could run 1:30 faster if doped.
And as usual, you believe white Commonwealth athletes from the 60s and 70s were the übermenchen, and anyone running faster than them is a doper.
You are stuck in the past, and you are stuck with letsrun. It's 4 a.m. in New Zealand and your previous posts were from 2.5 hours earlier.
You must be extremely sleep-deprived. That, coupled with your rage, can be very harmful for your health.
I think its possible he is near his peak now, if you have read Noakes Lore of Running he makes a observation that many great marathoners ran their best ever thon in their first three marathons. Obviously Kipchoge is a huge outlier, and Supershoes probably help, but even guys like Kimetto came fast and dropped off. Hopefully he has the berlin/valenica pacers take him out at 1:00:30 or something and he can see what he can do in his next one cause it might not last. And I wonder with his youth and super shoes if he can run three quality marathons a year? Maybe set a world record attempt somewhere cool enough in July?
Do they use examples of people who started running the marathon so young? A lot of people move to the marathon after their track career starts to stall out. Kiptum skipped his track career and went straight to running half marathons as a teenager. Saying someone who never ran a marathon until after age 30 ran their best marathon in their first few marathons is not the same as saying someone who ran marathons at age 23 ran their best in their first few marathons. And there are plenty examples anyway of people who ran marathon PRs several years after their first marathon, Kipchoge being one of them.
