Does everyone realize Kiptum dropped a 27:50 from 30-40k?

💉💉💉

Weak western mentality epitomised.

Yes and it was beautiful!

Meh. That’s only 7 minutes faster than my 10k PR.

😳

A lot of times even elites look like they’re jogging, even when going at an elite marathon-pace. But Kiptum looked like he was running hard and fast, during that last stretch. It was incredible.

Ignorant East African mentality. Head in the sand, conveniently ignoring the many, many Kenyans popped for doping since “robust” testing was finally implemented. You can’t seriously pretend that our concerns aren’t based on ample evidence at this point!

If if if it's legit, it's a new world with that flashing.

to have come at 35k mark makes me pause. sucks I can't believe in headlines anymore but that's reality these days.

I mean I ran faster today after seeing that.

Well, i have seen too many occurrences in this country. Crowning national basketball or baseball champions as world champions, accusing cheating plus fighting opponents when losing a college sports rivalry game, accusing runners or swimmers using EPO when they are faster than us, and blaming Russia/China/Venezuela and machines when losing an election.

Do we have a km by km split?

was he even faster between 29k and 39k?

Not sure, but doubt it. He kicked precisely at the 30km after taking his drink bottle.

There were no per km timing systems, but usually the laders have a GPS tracker, or the lead bike has. Would be even nice to have the time/distance scroll at bottom or the km boards big and visible.

EPO enables you to do superhuman things. This runner is on an illegal performance enhancing substance, guaranteed.

As running drops farther and farther into absurdium, do they expect us to believe this?

Why even acknowledge anything these clowns do? We all know every single one is juiced to the maxxx. Every week there is a kenyan these sjws start slobbering about and every week the same kenyan gets busted. how sad and dumb are these people???

BTW: I hate to say it, but I have no clue what Kiptum looks like. This would be like saying, I don’t know what Michael Jordan looks like

sad

I don’t follow basketball, but I follow running

Just checked. He passed 30km at 1:27:23, kicked at the drink station at 1:29:10 and actually missed his bottle as a result, went through 31 in 1:30:08 (2:45km), then the 1:42:12 35km split, and the only other km markers I could see was 38km 1:49:24 and 39km 1:52:22, official 40km split was 1:55:13 and '600m to go" sign at 1:59:51, for a remarkable last 600 in 94sec

cheers

Maybe Tamirat Tola in Eugene. He split 13:55 towards the end, and had a low 28 10k split

At this rate, it seems like in 5 years or so Eliud will only be the 3rd or 4th fastest marathoner in history.
