My guess is that has to be his goal with continuing road races.
Is Bernard Lagat aiming for the 2020 Olympic marathon?

No

Sure about that?

That’s rad! I hope the team is Rupp, Lagat, and Ultra Thonner!

Yes he is not. I hope he runs the trials for the heck of it though. -
No he is yes, because no he’s not.

That's how I read it too. Someone make it happen. -
EPO is one hell of a drug

I would not be shocked if two of the three made the team. -

Will it have to be on the track? -

Doubtful. Even on EPO dosages that equal his heyday of use when he was battling with El G won't help his old legs get him on the team. -

It should be done on a xc course. -

Obviously I did not intend to suggest a new even but extending the idea to running a marathon hill-and-dale across farm land jumping fences, leaping over bubbling brooks, jumping stone walls onto one lane roads and back over a wall to the pasture like a fox hunt would add a serious degree of difficulty to marathon running.
Heck let's put some grazing cows, no, let's make them bulls, stock the streams with piranha ... -

That 800m time just shows how good EPO is
