The pace wasn't 26 minutes flat for 10k back to back.
It was about 28:30.
So for someone who could run 26:30s thats do able if their transition to marathons went well.
Remember that Kipchoge's transition to marathons is so far the best. Kenenisa's transition is a bit shaky and he could run 2:03...in one of his races.
It's not surprising at all Kipchoge could do what he did.
There appear to be many people posting who have low intelligence. Everybody with half a brain knows that Kipchoge was NOT running a 10000m world record and then repeating it 3 more times and then still having more than a mile to go at that pace.
You say it is not surprising for Kipchoge to do what he did. Of course it is surprising...but less surprising that a cheater could do it.
