Is he ready to be the best current American marathoner?
Just posted a 22 miler @ 5 flat pace at the end of a 115 mile week on his Strava:

Help me out, but that has to indicate sub 2:08 ability and likely sub 2:07?

You got downvoted into oblivion, but I think it's probably reasonable to assume that he was actually fit enough for sub-2:08 if he had just paced a bit better at Chicago. 2:08:17 going out at 2:06 mid pace, so just starting a touch slower and I'd wager he'd have had a 2:07:50.

CJ runs with courage but he will never be a sub 2:08 guy until he breaks 62 minutes for a HM or 28:15 for 10k. He has currently maximized himself in the marathon.

He's pretty damn close off of uneven splits.

I'd like to say that he's easily capable of sub-62 now after going out in 62:40 and hanging on pretty well in the back half. But then again, Chepngetich has never broken 64 and she just went out in 64:18 and hung on similarly well. So, who knows these days.

Agree there. It was a very windy day and no pace group formed at 2:06 to 2:08 so he was running solo for a lot of the race. In better conditions or with a group to pace he for sure can go sub 2:07. Hope he stays healthy and excited to see what he does in NYC and next year.
