That is mind-blowing, the more I think about it.

kenyans do it all the time in training
He's burning the candle at both ends. I predict we'll soon be reading about a string of nagging issues cutting into his training. Though he sure is burning brightly in the meantime.

I am amazed as everyone. These are my questions : Would a sub-2.05 runner be able to race consistently at these speeds over an entire year? If he rested a month and built up to a single marathon effort over six months, how fast would he be able to run? Maybe no faster, I don't know. What do other runners think? Is he potentially an incredibly fast ultra-marathon runner who has yet to discover his true forte?
Does anyone have a list of all of his marathons and times from this year?
It would be interesting to know what type of training he does between these races.
In any case an amazing runner and fun to follow, best of luck to him next year.
Indeed, best of luck to him next year.
But there are more than two weeks/weekends left in 2013... Who knows what he has planned.
The crazy thing is that he turns himself inside out in these races. He runs all out and often ends up in the medical tent. So he's not "jogging" these races. He's super competitive and can't stand to get beat by anyone.
Juicer. Don't know why LRC adopted this dude as some kind of cult hero.
Even if Ritz, Hall, and Meb juiced to the gills for a full-year, combined they wouldn't have these results. Extremely impressive.
He is running a 10k on New Years (roads I believe).
If more runners were like Kawauchi, marathoning would be a more popular sport

I would be more impressed if he ran one 2:05 than a string of 2:10's.
He's headed for a major injury. But that's his call.
