Official 2017 London Marathon Live Discussion Thread

So Mary won't break Paula's record unless she starts doping. But Ayana has got it in the bag if she moves to the marathon. Thankfully there's no veil of suspicion over her for break Wang Junxia's doped record.

Canova just mentioned the other day that the Boston winner was routinely losing to Abel Kirui in training sessions. Is Kirui finally ready to drop a big one or is he still just a solid marathoner?

I'm excited to see the front keep a brisk pace in this race.

Canova still has credibility?

Absolutely. Do try to keep up.

Must be Dave Milner.

Without question if Sir. Mo Farah dedicated the next year of his life to The Marathon I would say he could run between 2:02 and 2:03 in Berlin in 2018.

Thoughts?

wejo/rojo have absolute trust in Coach Renato Canova.

Renato Canova was also the coach of Rita Jeptoo in the good old days.

Dr. Gabriele Rosa, Federico Rosa, and Claudio Berardelli also have absolute credibility, honesty, transparency, and integrity.

LetsRun.com had their local expert on Italian doctors and managers from the sport of cycling coming to Kenya in 1991 to start their training camps of all clean runners…except for their 2 runners banned for the anabolic steroid nandrolone…and their 3 runners who tested positive for EPO (Pamela Chepchumba-2003, Rita Jeptoo-2014, Jemima Sumgong-2017).

The LetsRun.com expert "man on the ground" getting the "real story" was:

1) Andy Arnold

Please tell Andy that he has a brain which is the size of an uncooked grain of basmati rice...which is the same size as the combined brains of wejo and rojo.

Andy Arnold is also a complete idiot and a total joke…just like wejo/rojo.

Andy Arnold:

"I’d also like to talk about Asbel Kiprop and the Olympic 1500-meter final. Once again, he entered the Olympics as the most dominant 1500 meter runner in the world, only to fail to achieve a medal. People have speculated as to why this happened. Some of the rumors out there have claimed that he was nursing an injury. Others have focused on the arrest of [his agent Federico] Rosa as a cause for distraction, and at least part of the reason why Asbel struggled in Rio. Do you believe there is any truth to these rumors?"

Renato Canova:

"No. He did not have any injury leading up to the 1500 meters. As for the Rosa trial, it was complete stupidity on the part of the police. They did not investigate anything and they did not have any evidence. We know that they are COMPLETELY CLEAN, both Gabriel [Rosa, Federico’s father and founder of Rosa’s agency] and Claudio Berardelli. This trial was caused by a desire for revenge by somebody that asked Rosa to give him money, and Rosa refused. And with this one situation, all the other situations became bigger and bigger. You see, there was this new law regarding performance-enhancing drug use and its enforcement, and the Kenyan police wanted to show that they wanted to do something and wield this law. Also, the Kenyan federation was not informed about anything from the police. So obviously, they were not very happy about the Rosa situation."

ha ha ha

So Canova has credibility on knowing how to dope athletes and get away with it?

i have to give you some insight from your God and Creator of all things distance running, Retardo Canavo.

Mo might have more olympic golds, but as we see from sumgongy winning olympic gold doesnt make an athlete "elite". but we do know that retardo has a man crush on KB, who he says is mind strong and an elite. thus he is the GOAT ahead of mo, because mo isnt elite....winning olympic gold is not elite....oh and PEDs dont work on kenyans

on a serious note i cannot wait for that day this site has a black page reading

"RETARDO CANOVA CAUGHT WITH EPO, RUNNING WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN!"

one day his bull$hit will be exposed and wejo and rojo will be do distraught with life, "we trusted that man, how could he lie to our face like that for so many years?"

I thought I've read it all on this site until I read this - "winning olympic gold is not elite" I think I might retire from Lets Run after that whopper of a comment. WOW where to the JoBros find these morons to post here. Yikes.

hey yum yum you must be a slow reader cause it was the rojo/wejo's hero retardo canavo who said that. he said sumsong isnt an ELITE....to try and cover his stupid nonsense that PEDs dont work on ELITES, so he said she wasnt an ELITE, and got bashed by me and a few people. he claims she isnt elite even though she runs fast times and has OLYMPIC gold.

if more people pulled their heads out of their a$$ and see the huge lying moronic clown retardo is maybe this sport would have some more credibility. i also posted that brianna rollins isnt elite thus its the reason she took PEDs and failed her drug tests. yes i know she missed them but whatever, im going to roll with this "elite" and "mind weak" $hit till retardo is proven to be a fraud

Dr. Gabriele arrived in Kenya in 1991…from the sport of cycling. He talked about autologous blood transfusions in his book about himself.

Federico Rosa arrived in Kenya in 1996.

Renato Canova arrived in Kenya in 1998.

Claudio Berardelli arrived in Kenya in 2004.

No EPO test until the year 2000…and almost ZERO OOC tests until just the last few years.

The manager of Almaz Ayana, Eliud Kipchoge, Geb, and Bekele is Jos Hermens…from the Netherlands

Jos Hermens has had very good luck with lots of runners…and some very bad luck with sending some of his German runners to a Spanish doctor who was involved in Operation Puerto in 2006.

Jos Hermens also managed WC 1500m Gold Medalist Abeba Aregawi when she tested positive for meldonium.

How many troll handles does Rjm33 have on this thread

Most of the time he appears to be posting and then replying to himself

Olympics is where it counts. THE GRAND Stage.

In the marathon? Oh please.

In 5/10k, there's an increasing number of elites that disagree.

Without taking care of all the idiots who write in this thread, I can anticipate that tomorrow, in the technical meeting, we ask for a split at HM of 61:30.

I think difficult have some pacer continuing after HM, maximal paced distance we hope it can be 25 km.

About women, the pace has to be around 69:00, and the pacer (Caroline Chepkoech) doesn't continue after that distance.

Thank you for letting us know, Coach Renato Canova! Much appreciated and wish the runners best of luck!

Yeah...and you said Bekele would break 2:03 by two marathons after his debut.

Given the fact that the first half of the course is faster than the second half, do you believe a world record is possible with who is in the race?
