I’d be ahead by 23 seconds after the first mile, up by 6 seconds the second mile and down in the third mile unless I had discovered the wonderful effects of EPO.

No but Katelyn Tuohy has a second on me in the 3200m. I think thats worse
I also call bs. Did you even race a 400, in spikes, on a track, all out, any time near that marathon. I doubt it because if you did you surely would have been at least 63, if not sub 60
Not sure where I found this, but it will definitely put a smile on your face.
That is the giant treadmill at Chicago Marathon a Expo where you could run at Kipchoge’s pace for 200 meters. Would love to try it someday.. wonder if they could adjust the distance to 800 meters for a challenge.

I am not buying it. There is no way you ran 2:24:12 marathon (80-81 seconds per 400m) and at the same time you could not run 68-70 seconds per 400m.
Sorry to disappoint you then, but I had no basic speed and in the late 70s early 80s I was one of many runners doing big mileage, and in my case, 110- 120 mph. I was a strength runner. Also my Marathon PR pace was closer to 83 seconds per 400m. Not sure what I can say.
... without lying

i would be able to do it for about 2 miles. I'd look like a showoff though...unless there were good runner chicks in the crowd. ;)

Did you read my original post?
here it is:
I don't think most runners can actually comprehend what he did, I know I can't really grasp it. I ran 2:24:12 in my prime and at that time I could not run that pace for over 400 meters.
I said I could not run that pace for over 400 meters, yes I could run one lap at 68 seconds, but not two or more. And again I was a strength runner, multiple years I ran four sub 2:30s in one year but never faster than the 2:24.
Wow, it has been many years, but my mile PR is 4:24. Pretty sure no one will ever, ever average that for a marathon. So I got that going for me, which is nice!
I build scar tissue far too fast, tethering the fat pad to the ACL (among other problems), pulling the knee cap in the wrong direction. No changes in training can fix that.

4:41 at age 14. Slow bloomer. 4:06 at 20.
To me this whole thing kicks up a notch when you think about the fact that his closing 2k were run at 4:27 mile pace. So unless your mile pr is under 4:27, kipchoge could smoke you in the mile immediately after running 40k to the start of the race at 4:39 pace.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
