Yes it's a big gaping hole on his resume. He can only win on pancake flat courses. Incomplete marathoner.
Well, it’s still a pretty damn good resume, and the last of it is not yet written. It’s going to be a long time until another marathoner achieves such a flawed resume, if ever.
The only runner who has the perfect resume is Adam Goucher..plus he's jewish and not a "goyim" like they like to call people not like them like Kiptum and Kipchoge. Goucher rocks!
A REAL marathon champion should be able to handle a hilly course. Kipchoge only winning on flat courses is like six pack abs on a skinny runner - it just doesn't count.
Awesome photo. It’s from the Event Scotland Great Edinburgh Cross Country held in 2007. Notice Bekele’s long shorts. He forgot to pack his racing shorts!
Bekele won that race in 28:14 despite his manager Jos Hermens saying he was only 80 percent fit and “a little bit chubby.” Zersenay Tadesse was the runner-up 10 seconds behind. Kipchoge finished third in 28:51. Ritz was in the field, too, placing sixth.
Kenenisa Bekele laid down an emphatic statement to the rest of the world by destroying the field in the men’s 9.3km at the Event Scotland Great Edinburgh Cross Country - IAAF permit race - today.
Thanks highly disturbed. Wouldn't let me reply to you not sure why.I wonder if he views it as a gap in his resume or is just another challenge for him to keep it interesting.
I think Kipchoge made the right decision. He was rattled by his performance in Boston. He just needs to go to a race that he is more familiar with and doesn't have to worry too much about.In my view Boston and NYC are not just difficult because of the hills.I think the races have too much non-running pre race drama in the week leading up to the races that inadvertently affects the elite athletes performances.There is so many non running activities that take away the runners focus and affect pre race routine. The sponsors and advertisers want to squeeze everything out of the athletes in the end it affects performance.
The thing is, it’s not going to be six majors forever. They will add to them. And so after Kipchoge retires, there will be a seventh or eighth he can never win. So in the long run, dominating Berlin and lowering his WR are more durable achievements.
Few of these "majors" are major because the fastest runners win them. It's just not what they are about. They are mass participation spectacles, rituals.
I don't care who wins a hilly marathon any more than I care who wins a race on a hilly track. And I've ran on some hilly tracks all right!
Kipchoge should take another crack at Boston, like he did for sub 2. Remember be didn't go sub 2 in his first attempt at the Nike's breaking 2, but if you listen to his Nike run app, he says if first you don't do it, you should try again. So he should try Boston again.
He most likely practice running uphill, but didn't practice running downhill, that's where his quads start hurting. He should practice more downhill running to get use to his quads aching after all that downhill.

Where do you find hilly tracks? I only see flat tracks.
Eliud Kipchoge is a coward and a homophobe. He is years beyond being a "great" like Gebrselassie or the Flying Finns were. If it weren't for Nike and it's money and market ability, Kipchoge would be nobody. His Technodrugged runs of 1:59 at INEOS and 2:00:25 at Monza are enormous proof that he's a fraud. The Fake Running News outlets will do anything to boost his image as we have no american equivalent. It's a Shame, really.
You can as well as go and run the distance and be paid that money moron!!
You're a very jealous, envious and full of bile person.
Who hurt you? Please work on your health before other people's achievements kill you!! 🤞
Jealous? A little but only because he gains recognition for being a fraud. I'm amazed how we accuse many kenyans left and right of being drugged. Yet, the top dog for some reason CANT BE. Why?
Kipchoge has no achievements, The Establishment found their puppet and painted him gold.
Seems you're so disillusioned to a point of total darkness _ sorry_ blindness till you've not seen kipchoges achievements. Before we carry on with your jealous comments _ what distance have you ever run and: 1. Won, 2. Set a world record? Show me your stats for us to continue arguing with you..
Anyway, I even don't know why I'm talking you. A pig will always be a pig even if you clean it, it'll always go back to its vomit and dirt ...
Atleast Boston has a story to tell.Besides being hilly and being in New York City, what else is there to talk about for NYC marathon. Let Kipchoge do his thing.There is more reason to go to Berlin than go to NYC.

You, like Kipchoge, are a loser and a fake.
Granted, atleast even Eliud's doping a** has money and a following. Where as you are probably in your parent's basement insulting my greatness. Sad! Do something with your life.
