I don't think Kipchoge runs faster than 204-205

Aren't you 38 pushing 39 with no Marathon time to show for?

The difference is I don't run for a living, and I have a realistic view of my performances as a runner. For example, I would never say (as a certain poster here did recently) that 3:07 is on the back end of competitive men's marathon times.

That time doesn't even qualify you for Boston or the women's olympic trials in the US.

That statement tells you how much the person who made it is clueless about running. You can run a marathon, good for you. It doesn't mean you are even remotely competitive as a runner.

Kipchoge's hard work has served him very well.

Yes, and the quality of my performances is far superior to many who have run marathons.

kind of like your cowardice - if it wasn't for the internet - you wouldn't post the nonsense you do. You know deep down you wouldn't behave the way you do on here in person. You're a chicken.

So what do you do for a living?

I don't engage with spineless cowards like you. Adios, sucker.

Correct, let’s see Kipchoge write a success made-for-the-big-screen script like Will has.

Did you check how old he was when he ran 2:01:09?

A good portion of the posters here have never run any races.

Nobody could ever figure that out.

It's a mystery.

Please just give the guy a break and stop it. he did post a running related thread after all this time.

Yes let this thread be about something besides the OP. We have had enough about him.

He’s the sheriff of Hope, WA. Have you not seen Rambo First Blood?

even if someone does, it's none of your business, nor is it anything to be ashamed of.

How does your comment impact me or anyone else? You achieve nothing..

must be a lifetime pattern for you

that poster is probably a skinny twerp

A perfectly reasonable question, followed by an unusually nasty stream of replies.

Unfortunately, I think that Kipchoge and the race organizers will do everything they can to make sure that Kipchoge gets a very smooth ride, with really good and dedicated pacemakers and no really serious challengers. 2:03:++ or 2:04:++, depending on weather. If he's feeling wonderful, maybe he'll take it slightly under that range, but nothing that would be considered earthshaking from him. His relatively recent remarks suggest to me someone who is getting really worried about and protective of his future racing results and legacy.
