i.e. how many would Kipchoge have done. 20? 30? 50?
Also, imagine running 2:12 SIXTEEN times. Like you finish the race and the clock says 2:12, and you're like "yes, I've done that 15 times before"

Two dozen, 4 per year, one marathon every three months for six years.
Well considering I have done many sub 2:07s in practice I would guess that somebody like Kipchoge could routinely do 25 to 30 per week so that adds up in a hurry.
I think the japaneseguy has run 77 under 2.10 in ten years

They covered this in the week that was.
http://www.letsrun.com/news/2018/12/wtw-valencia-keeps-impressing-running-city-sacramento-olympic-qualifying-central-running-sub-208/Kebede is now the outright record holder for most sub-2:07s (11), sub-2:08s (14), sub-2:09s (17), sub-2:10s (19), and sub-2:11s (23). Larner keeps track of those type of stats as he represents Yuki Kawauchi, who has run the most sub-2:12s-2:20s in history

It's got to be more than that. He could probably do every month for most of the year, and made hit it 95% of the time. He does 40k tempo runs every week, and while those are slower, there's a big difference between hills and altitude and the Berlin course with rabbits to 40k.
8x/year x 6 years = 48
And if he had started right away, he'd be closing in on 100
