Bekele sub 2 hour marathon attempt?! I honestly don't know whether to laugh or get pumped. Seems so far fetched but obviously if anyone could do it in this generation of runners it would be Bekele. He would have to return to form and be better than he ever was. He himself has been quoted in saying it is not possible so I doubt it. Maybe the question is how long could he hold pace for? 30-35k?
No one said he was going to try and go sub 2:00. There is a project called sub-2:00
http://www.sub2hrs.comand they are grooming younger athletes to see if in the future they can break that barrier. Bekele is also working and training as a part of that project from what I understand.
