Thinking the same. The market for very high end pacers just became larger.
Kipchoge should never went back to Berlin, imo, at least if we look at it from a pure legacy standpoint. All to loose, nothing to gain (if not world record ofcourse).
Holy smookeeees, I was paying attention to Kipchoge's attempt at going Sub 2 and failing that I JUST REALIZED the women's wr is 2 minutes ahead of pace!
Fauble blew up, running 4:30 per km 25-30km. Too bad... really wanted to see him run a fast one
He is no longer to claim that he has been in 2:07 shape or faster numerous times. He is a 2:10 marathoner and nothing more.
“I don’t think that me running in the 2:07s is a huge stretch of the imagination,” said Fauble, who has removed some of the hillier routes from his training under coach Joe Bosshard but has otherwise prepared similarly for Berlin as he would Boston or New York. “I think I’ve been in that kind of shape a bunch of times.”
