That 2:04:58 was run the year of the wind tunnel, and can't be seriously considered a legit time. It's also on the Boston course which itself is a non record eligible course. Hall's best run was his 2:06:17 in London.
Haile Said that his 2:03:59 in Berlin 2008=sub 2 with new shoes, so 2:06:17 in London would be 2:03:59 with new shoes in Valencia, Sevilla or Berlín at least.
Geoffrey Mutai 2:05:01 in New York 2010 , with new shoes, in faster courses...it's 2:01 flat /low at least
Back to the question, Im going to add Sondre Norstadt Moen and Julian Wanders to the mix.
