Bekele showed there is room for improvement
The marathon record was soft a few years back
The rate of improvement will surely slow below 2-02
Definitely not anytime soon
The record will get stuck around the 14:30 per 5k point, sub 2:02:30.
I think Kipchoge will be the one to take it there.
I want to believe in guys like Bekele maybe Kipchoge...
I mean Bekele's ex trainer said he is not even in top shape yet..
But i gues thats it I want to believe its something really hard to tell.
Many other world record breakings were not supposed to happen according to the know it all's of the time so...
