Another encouraging performance. Even allowing for great conditions, just look at being 3-4 minutes behind the top 3 who are 2:02-3 guys. We’ll see where Klecker goes next but I think he’s now in the 2:07 fitness on a flat, loop course and improving.

Apparently ran his last mile in about 4:30, so probably had more in the tank to give. Definitely think he can be in contention at the trials in a few years.

Berlin marathon in September? He could run 2:04-2:05 there

Is he officially the fastest Boulder marathoner now? Passing Noah Droddy? Or is it Ryan Ford?

Joe backed up a solid race at NYC with another good performance today, I'm happy for him. That last mile a bit weird though, why have that much left in the tank? Did he lose focus in Newton? I'll be interested to hear either he or Dathan comment on his finish.

Might have answered my question with what he just posted on Strava. Basically saw the clock and realized he could run sub 2:06 and took off.
"Only saw halfway split and 25 mile split. Thought the clocks were broken when it looked like I was gonna run 2:05. Had a cramp at mile 9 after my bottle and had to jog for about 400 meters, thought my day was done.
On paper this was a breakthrough but I never felt particularly good or like I was having a great day. Marathon 2 in the books"1001 -
Dick Beardsley’s performance 44 years ago is still better than Joe’s today. So there is that.

Anyone know how he trains? Seems weird there's no threads about his workouts on here

It is weird to bring up statements like this tbh just appreciate Joe going in the right direction and putting up a solid performance

IDK but from everything I hear he just puts in good-not-great kinda mail-it-in punch-the-clock-and-go-home training sessions.

Thank you, but just appreciate my comment for its insight, as it is a little weird to comment on my comment tbh.

Joe's dad tied Beardsley's shoelaces in a double knot before that race began. The universe is wild like that.

Impossible/ i don't believe him. I've repeatedly been told on this site the only way to truly run fast is knowing your pace literally every step of the way via wavelight technology. 🙄🤦♂️

Based on his workouts, I was expecting so much more.

Sure but it's an interesting comment.
Given the wind and super shoes, probably accurate as well

No he won't. He just ran a windaided Boston in 2:05 high, no way that translates to 2:04-5 in Berlin. All due respect to Klecker though.
