I don't expect we'll be seeing him on the coverage much but Masakazu Fujiwara is trying to run 2:06 today. Supposed to be a 1:03:15 first half and then if all goes well he'll take it down and shoot for the Japanese NR of 2:06:16.

why what happened? who is the favorite now?
haha are you serious? haile is not running berlin this year, he's doing New York in November. He just won the Great North Run Half-marathon last week in 59'43" i think

25k in 1:14:20 way off WR pace.
my money is on Mutai just off the fact that he's run some fast track races in the month leading up to this race. Makau looks good, but has no performances after Rotterdam to evaluate his fitness from
Not happening, unfortunately.
