Berlin Marathon Live Thread

I ran a 2:37 marathon and got DQ because my gf handed me a water bottle. She was on a bike riding next to me the entire time though.

I bet that was part of the deal to get him to run in Berlin. Interestingly, after the drinks he would slow for 3 minutes but would then surge. I wonder what's in it?

Something that enhances all of the vital body processes.

A magical liquid called water.

I still think Eliud Kipchoge's performance in London is much better than today's KB's. In London Kipchoge wasn't chasing the World record and did not even know he was close until it was too late. At no point did he seem to struggle at all and even managed to "sprint" the last few meters or so. To miss the world record by 7 seconds under those circumstances is just surreal. Can't wait to see the match up in 2017 London marathon. If the weather is good and the pace making as good as London this year and the athletes be in similar shape, expect a time out of this world, but no 2:01 any time soon.

I don't think anybody's arguing Bekele is marathon GOAT, but there is a better case than ever that he is 'distance' GOAT.

When he runs a sub 3:30 and sub 1:45 then you can call him better than Choge.

He's comparing him to Augustine Choge....who may have a few quick times, but no titles of any sort

VERY nice!
