I don't know Thomas, but is either Ottesen or Wood even remotely targeting a 2:09:49? Ottesen works as an engineer and has a family, so it seems extremely unlikely. I don't know what Wood does for a living, but I guess he's dating and doesn't have any kids yet, so it's probably easier for him to live the elite runner lifestyle.

Adam Wood's PB is like 2:18. I watched his latest video and he had pneumonia/needed to get checked for myocarditis.. soo that's not exactly helping his performance.

It's quite pathetic really. It's so transparent it's almost funny how quickly these absolute jokers jump from brand to brand.
I don't even get it from Kiprun's perspective? A lot of people are starting to see through flying these losers around the world. We're all probably about to have our wallets blasted by orange man, but at least you sent Kofuzi to wear a different brand's clothing on a different continent this month? Great!
I heard an interesting comment from Andy Blow (CEO of Precision Fuel & Hydration) mentioning that they look through the social output of anyone they're considering supporting and want to see authenticity and want long term partnerships, not jumping brands each month like these leaches are doing. Hopefully more companies take that stance and Kofuzi and Thomas disapear.
Weren't Precision a supporter of Matt Fox?
I think Ryan could, he is still quite young and had a good improvement in his last marathon performance
New ‘Journey of Lee’ video has dropped and it’s a very hard hitting one.
What’s peoples thoughts?

Don't know if Kofuzi will really be down with reviewing the Duramo SL and the Nike Downshifter because soon that's all we will be able to afford. I hope brands cut the influencer trips before they raise prices and layoff people.
Nike is finished anyway. Adidas has firmly won the running shoe war with them.
Kofuzi's views have taken a hit. We're in a shoetubesession.

Big D's views have tanked as well. They're just pumping out unoriginal and generic content now.
So FOD latest video has dropped. Ran a 16:04 despite the wind and some of the course having gravel.
Do people here think he could drop a sub 15min 5k one day?
Mo Farah's channel has seen a re-launch and social media push.
It's basically running personal stories, but in a world of grifting, it actually makes a nice change. I'm not really sure who it's targeting though
Yes. I had a race on Sunday and the wind was no joke - definitely not PB weather!
Andy's progress has been great to watch and there's something about his channel that just doesn't feel as annoying as most of the others. Definitely just seems like a nice, normal bloke who enjoys running for running's sake, not some narcissistic snake oil salesman
Sorry, read your post as sub-16 not sub-15! The former is inevitable, the latter not even a pipe dream (I'm sure he'd say that himself)

Good one. Yes and he'll beat Jonny Mellor in the process.
What do we predict Bester is gonna clock at the London marathon?

Sub 16 looks guaranteed.
Tbh I can see him breaking 15 (he's got headroom as his mileage isn't huge and 3 children who are getting older). I'd say the next stop would be 15:30 though, which I can see in 12 months.

He's been doing huge volume and intensity. Oddly, more than many pro's running way faster. All this for, by his words, with the goal of improving by 30 seconds or so.
By bet is he will do sub 2.20, but don't think he's going for much under. So, 2.19.20
I think it because Andy still has that almost child like obsession with running and improving. A lot of contemporaries seem to be phoning it in and the love is gone.

I tried to subscribe but I don't hear the bell when a new video drops
