So Letsrun.com pointed out before the NYC Marathon that they thought it was a dumb idea that Kwambai raced at 59min half marathon in his NYC marathon prep.
Now I always thought it was a great idea to run a HM in the marathon prep and when I raced them I usually went out 100%.
So are the thoughts here that
1.) the fact that he ran so fast in the HM means that he peaked too early or
2.) did he simply ran too fast and should have held back?
If the latter is the case then should avg Joe run a 1:14h instead a 1:10h?
