They mentioned he set the pace to go out at 60:50 and aims for a negative split. I hoped he would go out faster. With this pace I do not think 2:01 will fall.
Had the same hope and now the same worry. Of course, he can decide what is best. But if I was him, I would just go for an even 60:30 pace ;D.
5k in 14:14. They are going for it
THANK YOU for sharing this. Has English commentary, accessible with US IP.

Split screen with the lead pack and the drinks guy. I think it's the same guy. I can only recognize him by fist pump.
That's definitely him lol. LFG!!
14:14 5k time.
looks like Eliud is after 1:59:59... incredible split!
Thanks for sharing. Has English commentary
Oh man I’m ready to witness history. They re going after it!
They're 10 sec inside WR pace bro
Definitely drinks guy! They're so excited for him and the fist pump is legendary.
He's getting as much coverage as the race on the German feed.
14:14 through 5k (~2:00:06 pace)
The two Ethiopians, Adola and Belihu, can give the king a good run for his money. Ethiopians wearing Adidas.
17:05 or so 6k. 2:52 last kilometer
14:14 first 5k. Can you imagine running a 4:14 5k that easily. I mean I know it’s obvious but my god, 8 of these in a row….
Might be calling it too early here but I think Adola looks a little labored out there
He was never going to be a factor if Kipchoge was serious about breaking the WR
Great picture, Adola and Kipchoge side by side. However, that seems too fast to me.
Commentator said women through 5k in 16:21. Haven't seen them yet.
Women are running 2:17 pace after 5k.
19:52/7km (22 secs faster than 2018!) they have speeded up dramatically
Women on screen now. Looks like a huge pack. Too many people haha
