Will Hasay run NYC, if no more than a cramp??
I think it's too close to the trials
Of course plenty of Americans have run NY and come back to get top 3 at the trials (Meb in 2016), but it's risky. You can't have a huge build up that's not under a time crunch. Expect the American field to be weak there up top.
Hasay is out? Is this correct?

Hey maybe it's Karoki's day to shine at last!
I've been a Karoki fan since 2012 when he was running 10k's on the track. Would love to see him break through here.

I'm German too. I think her PB is 2:43 from Berlin a few years back, at which point she was more like a serious amateur. Then decided to go all in on running & moved to Iten. Lets see if she can keep this pace up.
We all know that "moving to Iten" is code for getting on the juice.
Doping is part of the Kenyan running culture.

Rupp doing what he planned to do. Break 2:11 for a safe race

You're replying to the wrong poster, but I love the use of the word insolence! And Paul Robeson's 'Old Man River' gives me chills every time I hear it. BTW, do you see Kosgei smashing Paula's record?
Est. finish is 2:14.16 at 25 km for Kosgei

Not a fan.
The Salazar duo of Rupp and Hasay is off the rails.
Kosgei 2:14:16 pace through 25k

Not sure why people are so surprised about Rupp's run. He is on 02:06:41 pace, while the leaders are on 2:04:high pace. Given his build up this seems like a solid race (if he can finish it)
There is a group of ten Americans and three Japanese guys running sub 2:11 pace. Wouldn't it be so nice to have a camera on that group...

This is race #1 in the science experiment that was NOP. We're now in the testing phase to see how the athletes do as they cycle off the Alberto rocket-fuel. It'll take several more data points in this study but race #1 is already showing that the Alberto Sauce may have been some super effective stuff.
Kosgei is starting to pay for that crazy pace.

right. if he can run 2:06:xx (or really 2:0x:xx) coming off a major injury and surgery, he has basically confirmed that he's the US' best marathoner.
at 25k, there is no way now that kosgei wont break the WR, its just a matter of by how much
