Taipai Marahon Live at 5:30 pm eastern with Possibly $70k on the line. Runners had to quarantine in hotel room for 2 weeks

Interesting race with the covid restrictions.

Hello Wejo!

I have a nice little story to tell about one of the male favorites, Elisha Rotish. And the story is 100% true! :)

We go back to the year 2016 when I had been an online coach just a year. I coached most of my runners back then as nowadays at messenger/ facebook.

Elisha had seen my then beginning coaching power and sent me a message and asked how to do

to run sub 2:09 at the marathon. I told him it depends on things like talent, age and former best times . He told me he had run a PB 2:13 :46 in May that year and 3rd place . I asked him if he had a coach and he told no. I accepted to coach him and he improved fast that summer with 5th place in a bigger XC in Kenya . After 3 months coached by me online he was ready for the goal in November, Nice - Cannes marathon, and he won the race easy in 2:10:45 , a new PB.After the race I wrote about the race and my coaching and Rosa`s guys `jumped`on me at FB and told I was a liar ....Elisha most probably got " cold feet" and fast unfriend me at FB and I have never since chat with him. Strange way to say thank you?

He then went on to run 2:05:18 as his PB in Amsterdam 2019......

you gotta explain that cheef

What exactly do you want me to explain more? :)

Is taipai marahon any relation to the Taipei Marathon?

Did you grow up in Dallas or Dalles? Texas or Texes?

(don't try to pass them off as typos, you made the same error multiple times which proves that you are the Jethro Bodine of spelling)

Is Farah there? He's a treadmill monster - this would have been ideal for him.

While good at the treadmill as well, I don't think it would be a good fit for Rupp. Rupp said he hadn't run with anyone since the start of Covid so the flight might have put him into a Covid-panic. I think Rupp should focus on driving across the country and racing in the Amroyr this winter. He's arleady experienced with running with a mask and the Armory is requiring masks.

What’s a Marahon?

Armoyr? And why wouldn’t he take a plane?

You talking about Taipei, hoss?

It’s spelled Thaipay

Looks like

2:09:06 won it in crap conditions.

No good time to race a marathon there. I spent a summer there and every workout was garbage. So freaking hot and humid. Guess winter and rain is much better.

That time could win the project.

Remember the time that wejo misspelled "misspell?" Or the time that rojo misspelled "book" two different ways in a single sentence, in a post about him being asked to write a book? These guys are endlessly hilarious, and they don't even know why.

Or they type as fast as they can on their phones and don't give a sh*t whether they have typos or how you feel about their typos.

He is back to 2.13.07 for second. Back to whence he came.

Yeah.......I followed the race live. Looks like he needs The Magic Wizard once more )).........but of course I would let him down if he asked.........don`t like ungrateful people.

A "fantasy" pricemoney check for the winner with a 2:09 course record, 30000 bucks for the win+ 70000! bucks for the course record. So a total 100000 dollars with only 1-2 real contenders and a 2:09 win.Good payment indeed!

This shows it`s possible to make a very good living on marathoning even if you are far away from the very best.Just have to find ( and be accepted) for the right marathons. Couple of years ago my then coached Kenyan( 2:13 PB) won The New Taipei marathon in 2:17 and a price check of 10000 dollars..........a very good payday.
