I have been waiting for them to announce the fields for some of the fall marathons. But this could be a legit race. Kipchoge will be heavily favored and always comes in ready to race. E. Mutai is either a hit or miss, but last year in Berlin he really pushed it and probably deserved the win more than Kimetto. So as long as he can come in with good training and ready to commit he will be a real threat. And then G. mutai will be really interesting to watch. He has struggled a lot in his last few (New York and London) but then again he didn't come into London totally fit due to an injury a little ways before. Although he has good experience on the course, so I can not wait to see what he can do. Although I'm gonna say Kipchoge wins with E. Mutai 2nd once again. The real question will be wether the WR will be under threat...

I definitely don't think G. Mutai is done.What a weird time in marathoning if we write a 2:03 marathoner off because they haven't won a race in two years?He's been injured.
