Eliud Kipchoge's next MARATHON!

your top 2 seem to be the only reasonable options... Though London might not want him there so Missus Farah can get an easy W..

I see another assault on sub 2 coming before I see him doing Tokyo... though maybe they'll time it so he can do both.. He will not do Boston.. not record eligible

London and breaking2 are the only possibilities.

He is doing now an Asia marketing Tour with Nike. I think Tokyo stands a chance!

Easy win for Mo Farah?

DO u guys even use your pea-sized brain b4 u write shid on Letsrun???

Dubai would be sweet.

I know it's out of the picture.

But it'd be nice to see a WR at the Fukuoka, for a change of pace.

Lets see

Sadly London is probably off the table as in classic Mo fashion the 2018 edition will probably be neutered to give him a win (I don't think mo will be much better than 2:06 in his second marathon, and he probably won't break 2:05 in his career. The dude isn't a marathoner)

Tokyo is an interestint option. Kipsang proved how fast the course is this year.

Dubai is the wolrds fastest course, and could be good for a record attempt, but this marathon is often very hot and would be perfect for kiochoge if he wants to go out sub 61. However it is not a WMM, though it has a very high payout.

I think Kipchoge is very dissapointed by Berlin, as he knows he can run so much faster, and he definitly wants to make a big statment in his next marathon, so he will probably stick to a fast course.

How about breaking2 on a downhill course? Tunnel Lite at the End in Snowhomish, Washington? No different than drafting between fresh pacers and a giant sign.

Can he break 2 on everyone's favorite aided BQ course!

Eliud to Tunnel Light!

Word on the street is Kipchoge will be running the Honolulu 'thon pacing a guy named Nick.

Expect Great Things!!!

MAGA

Eliud just tweeted that he is going to take on Walmsley for the R2R2R.

Agree. The British will want to have their home boy win in a vain attempt to prove that Mo is the last Coca Cola in the desert.

he has enough money...he will rest and wait until next year's berlin

Eliud is going to attempt to break Moses Mosop's 25,000 and 30,000 meter world record at the the Pre Classic in the spring of '18. He will then attempt to break the WR in marathon at Berlin in the fall.

Adola showed that Eliud is not alone anymore . If Adola had been just a little bit stronger he had get away in the last moments at Berlin......and there will soon be other guys that will duell with Kipchoge. I think of one or two of my coached guys. At least one of them is ready to run sub 2.05.

How can i get in touch with you? I'd like a personalised long term training plan, where can se can discuss?

Though officially he is 32 years old or something, the guy is probably more like 37 years old. This means he only has one or two sub 2:04 marathons left in him so he better choose wisely. I think he can beat the WR in a record eligible attempt under ideal conditions (good weather, fast course), but he won't beat father time. Berlin 2018 will likely be his last shot at a WR.

He only trained for Berlin for 3 1/2 months. If he could have had 6 months of preparation he might have lowered the wr even in that weather. He still got one eligible 2:01:xx if everything goes right with 6-7 months of training. In other words, he can run 2:04 'thons until 2020 at least.

There's a far greater chance of never hearing Adola's name again than there is of him becoming a consistent threat to Kipchoge and the World Record.

Has to be Dubai or a sanctioned Monza if he wants the WR. Dubai would be fantastic. Cool, flat, mostly straight, low humidity. 3-4 months time. Should be enough recovery.
