Funny how KJ will train on a track, will train on the roads, will time-trial odd distances but will never race on a track, race on a road or have someone independent time him on a measured course.
He obviously doesn't have a problem with running on the track or road. Guess he has too much reputation to lose by going up against competition on a legitimately measured and timed standard length race. In his mind he can't risk disappointing those fanbois, who by the way would always claim that he is a sub4 miler and a 2:07 marathoner even if he barely breaks 5 and 2:30 in a real race.
KJ, your fans will always have true believer goggles on no matter how slow you really are.
Funny how Kipchoge will train offroad and run xc, time trial odd distances but will never race on a mountain, race on a steep trail, or have someone independent time him on a measured mountain course. He obviously has too much reputation to lose going against competition on a legitimately measured mountain race. In his mind he can't risk disappointing his fanbois, who by the way think ha can actually run a UTMB under 20 hours even if he never even actually makes it to the end. His fans will always have true believer goggles no matter how slow he is running on 90% of the earths surface.
