Did kiochoge set the masters record 5th place is better than what any Anerican or Brit would ever dream of and tgat he did it past his prime is even more incredible
Bad luck? Purdue seems to have quite the reputation amongst her MTC mates for running fast on easy days. You probably don't have to be an Einstein to suggest a change going forward.

Are we forgetting that Mantz got 4th at Boston and actually ran a time faster than Eliud ran today on an easier course? I get that bashing American marathoners is kind of a pasttime on this forum but at least keep it factually accurate.

Yes Mantz ran 205 at Boston but it was better weather cinditions than London and the Boston course is downhill. In London maybe Mantz would have run 208 if lucky 211 maybe 214 likely dnf probably

Why y'all going on about heat? Says here it was mid 60s at the worst during the race. Oh, the humanity!
If you are a pro and couldn't prepare for that hellish furnace, then you need a different job.
60 and sunny is practically unheard of in the UK, it's no surprise to me most of the british runners blew up when they've spent their winters training in dark and rainy 0-10C conditions
Sawe got this one so easy. Maybe in perfect conditions he would take off a second per mile. Maybe he'd be close to 2:01 at Valencia now, so is he currently the best out there?
And kiplimo solid first go and may actually have potential for sub 2 as he didn't look broken at all.
It's high humidity that affects runners adversely, not heat. A higher temperature with low humidity is preferable to a lower but still hot temperature with low humidity. Because the former causes more dehydration and muscle cramps. Much of coastal Europe and the UK are frequently high humidity.
