I think it's embarrassing what this guy is doing. At some level going for it is cool, but not if you are a 2:09 guy going out in 2:02 pace. I mean I just started paying attention 57 minutes in> He looks like he's about to fall over already.
Going for it is Japanese. Embarrassing yourself and making a farce of the race should be frowned upon. That's what this guy is doing.
If you're last 3 marathon results are 80th in Osaka, 32nd in Osaka and 14th at Gold Coast, I give race organizers full permission to tackle you if you get a 45 second lead 15k in to the race.
Rojo vindicated. He just crossed the line in 2:11 +

I'll offer a slight mea culpa, I didn't think he'd finish.

Yeah, I think Rojo was correct about this Hashimoto guy. I don't see the point of running that fast and to die like that in the end. He could have possibly ran a 2:06-07 if he paced himself. He seems pretty tough to hang on and finish.

What was the vindication? You said he embarrassed himself but I think he learned more about himself than probably any of us did today. There was nothing embarrassing about what he did. It is part of what makes the sport great.

Yeah, he learned that he is impulsive. You know he is going to have the Sh@ts th rest of the day.
Vindicated to what? You act like you are a professional and didn’t know who RTJ was even though he has the face of YouTube running for a full 2 years now. Also the sponsorship knowledge is just dumb too. Please just quit.
2:08 in super shoes in not great. Hyperbole not withstanding I can't imagine he would've been that impressed with it and that he bonked decently after being on 2:06 pace. 23:47 last 7 plus k's.
Cam will be 37 in 4 weeks so his best running days are behind him.
Kipchoge’s fastest marathon was a month before he turned 38, and a lot of people think he’s likely a year or two older than his recorded age. Bekele was a similar age when he set his marathon PR. Peak age for marathon is a fairly extended range, but the key is staying healthy and invested for that long

And, most importantly, Cam proved today, just before he turns 37, that he is still "there".
Yeah, he struggled after 35k today. But he was "on" for a PR for 85% of this.
Who will seriously bet against him finding a way to 2:04s before he calls it a day, after a long and distinguished career?
