Nice UK battle shaping up!
Unbelievable. I got up at 6 am ET and I'm watching two different broadcasts. One of them is commercial free. And they somehow managed to miss Kosgei getting ahead!!
God I hate how there are two races going on at once.
They MANAGED to miss the key break!!!
someone here on letsrun analyzed the training in the thread of mzungu in iten. he wrote that in his point of view the training was not on par with 2018.
Ethiopians are doing very well. That is very encouraging for them.
Last pacer dropped and Kipchoge ask the other guys to pace him with no one willing to lead. Will Kpchoge make his move now?
i need to go urinate

I believe the BBC has a dedicated channel to elites only. Yes, go to the red button.
"The Red Button TV service gives separate expert commentary on a dedicated combined elite race feed, for those who want only elite race coverage, and then offers Finish Line coverage of all runners as they complete the race – accompanied by a graphics ticker containing messages sent in by friends and loved ones."
35K UPDATE:
Emily Sisson running in 7th place, on pace for a 2:23:13 finish, second fastest debut ever by an American behind Hasay's 2:23:00.
Molly Huddle in 11th place, on pace for 2:25:13, ahead of her 2:26:44 PR.

Surely you mean a UK whiteman battle? Mo is already streets ahead.
Molly Huddle hitting the wall big time. Expected finish time dipped by over a minute in the last 5k. 18:06 between 30 and 35k, sisson ran the same 5k a full minute faster.

Wow. We need 4 elite streams. Men, women, top non-African born man and woman.
I've been up for 30 minutes and am glad to see Robert is on here posting. He won't respond to my texts!
But it takes me 30 minutes every year to figure out what is going on.
Can't believe Kosgei is busting 5 minute miles. Women's marathon racing has changed for sure.
