The unofficial way-too-early Bekele London prediction thread

I say he runs 2:02:09 at the fastest. Probably about 2:02:25. I hope he breaks 2:02, though, but I don't think it's likely to happen. I feel like if he doesn't run WCs and rests and prepares well for London he could have a shot at 2:01:xx

2:02:08.5 calling it now

DNF

isn't London difficult with cobblestone and many 90 F turns?

If he doesn't get trampled at the start, I think the wr will fall. Bekele wants this bad. No matter what Farah does, triple wr will cement bekele as the greatest runner of all time.

DNS - injured

This.

Isn't he injured now? Let's wait for him to recover. Hopefully he'll be in good shape for coming events.

2:03:45

DNS or DNF

It's a pretty hot course, yes.

2:02:43

2:02:47

It will be one of those two numbers.
