I just wish the video was a little bit longer but from the little that he said, he believes that if they maintain good pace till the 35th Km, a world record, and probably even a 2:02 marathon race would be possible.
Sammy needs to run a full marathon later this year.
Another Sammy feels that 2:02 might be possible for himself.

By common consent in running circles, the first two-hour marathon will be run by someone from Ethiopia, Eritrea or Kenya
how the f*** does this moron give prior billing to eritrea over kenya ???
the best eritrean performance i can find is the 212th best ever :
2:07:34 Yonas Kifle ERI 24.03.77 5 Amsterdam 21.10.2007

Learn to read, darling. He's not giving prior billing to Eritrea. The countries are not listed in any particular order, you moron.
imbecile
you shoud list them in order of likelihood
in fact why the f*** is he even listing eritrea ???
morocco/south africa japan have much faster guys on the alltime list & earned priority
get that into your numbskull
I don't know why Eritrea is listed. Perhaps it is because they have spawned one of the greatest distance talents. I am not defending the inclusion of Eritrea, but for you to react to the order in which these three countries are listed indicates a bizarre hyper-sensitivity verging on paranoia regarding your cherished Kenya. I agree that Kenya is much more likely to produce a 2 hour marathoner than Eritrea, but don't get your fruits of the loom in a bundie over a list of countries which were not listed in any apparent order...
idiotif tadesse had busted out a 2"04, then eritrea may just surface on the radar, but seeing as best he has is 2"12, eritrea doesn't deserve to be mentioned in same breathe as other 2
your cherished Kenya
moron
they have 9 of top 10 of alltime guys
there is nothing for me to justify, the priorty listing shoud be self-evident from such hard facts
There is no point in arguing with you. We all know Kenya is the greatest marathon nation. Why are you letting your dick shrivel up over the imaginary insult?
eh ?
you are a f***ing idiot
anyone reading that quote woud be led to believe eritrea is a M powerhouse & possibly only behind ethiopia, which is nonsense
obviously your peabrain doesn't understand this concept
You are stunningly obtuse. If somebody were to write: "The poster on Lets Run most likely to stick his foot in his mouth is either haha yo, craigmac, or ventolin," do you really think that ANYBODY would interpret this as you being the least likely to stick your foot in your mouth simply because you are the third listed? You are extremely stupid, much more so than I had previously ascertained.
what a f***ing prick
you are a f***ing moron
that is a supposedly "academic" article with quotes on physiology/graphs/progressions/etc & to quote nonsense about eritrea in same line as ethiopia/kenya is ludicrous
if you think that article is in same league as someone writing about letsrun posters, you are a complete & utter imbecile - but we know that anyway
You should have learned by now not to debate me. You have been handily defeated, as per usual, in this one----duh, winning....
You have hijacked off on this thread enough...back to the topic. I don't see a sub 2 hour marathon in the next couple decades.
Why don't you tell us darling, do you think it would take a 25:50 type 10,000 meter runner?
It's possible. Tadesse has the half WR.
debate ?
you are a f***ing idiot
if you think you've won a "debate" by comparing an "academic" article to you making up quote about letsrunners you are a complete moron
as for a 2 hour run, that is feasible when a M guy can run
~ 25'45 for 10k

or more relevantly, when a M can run
~ 57'11 for a 1/2M
based on current 1/2M wr of 58'23, the M wr shoud be if it was = strong
~ 2"02'30
the guys at 1/2M are currently performing better at that distance than the M
a rough formula i use to compare distances of 1500 & over for benchmark 3'30 ->
7'20.7
12'40.7
26'36
59'06
2"04'01
i'm of belief that 3'30 is a greatly under-rated performance & on a par with all the other other wrs ( apart from 10k which is surprisingly strong at 26'17 & 1/2M which is also stronger than it "shoud" be )
on reflection this is not surprising as 1500 is the blue riband event & will attract the best talents in middle distance to it
a 3'30 guy has as much talent as you coud ever ask for

That is why Eritrea is listed you f***ing morons. Are you really that f***ing stupid?
