That's a doped track session.

I think we're on for a good one! Thanks again for taking the time to post these sessions, Mzungu.

Go away. Wrong thread.
I think we don't will see a WR. But I think we will see the fastest first half of a marathon. I think he will ran first half in 60:30 maybe 60.20. First half in London is always faster because off a bit downhill. And I believe he will shock his rivals especially Farah and the fast Ethiopians with a blistering fast pace from start up to make sure he had the control. But he also will pay a bit for this in the second half so I think winning yes good time also but no WR. Because it's a tactical race and the start will be to fast. But we will see...
Been hearing from people closer to the camp that the data on this thread is not actually true.

It will depend on the weather very much. It's forecasted to be pretty hot the sunday before the race in London, let's hope it will get cooler. Unless very hot weather or going out at sub-2 pace again, the CR is in serious jeopardy.
It's a very possible scenario that the race will go out very fast. I'm sure Eliud wants to go out on world record pace, nothing slower than that. If weather is ideal then he might even require a 60:30 half split.
Also, for such an unforgiving early pace, the pacemakers have to step up to the task. Who will they be? It's not yet offically confirmed but the most probable line-up is :
#PACE1 Stephen Kiprop (58:42 half in 2019)
#PACE2 Daniel Kipchumba (59:36 half in 2019, 59:06 pb)
#PACE3 Gideon Kipketer (59:53 half pb/2:05 high marathon pb)
This pacers were be incredible. Mr. Canova told us already that Kipchumba is planed as pacer. But he also say that he has a bit trouble with his tendon. I hope he can pace because when he is in form he can go until km 30. Stephen Kiprop were also very interesting. Do you know in which trainingsgroup he is? From half potential he would be also a great pacer.
As far as i know he trains with Boeting's group. (R.Kipruto,B.Kimeli,M.Kimeli,Mangata Ndiwa,Okombo)

Everything depends on weather conditions and what the pacers are told to do. Of course Kipchoge wont go out himself at 60.30 or 60.20. If so, that I highly doubt, he risk to falling on own grip.
This would be heartbreaking. Tell me this isn’t true.

Agreed. Please tell me this whole thread hasn't been fabricated.
His last workout: 27:08 total for the 10k with very short rests (1 minute while running 200m, so it feels shorter than that) at altitude. That is a great session. I bet he’s only a little sharpening away from 26:30-26:45 shape at sea level.

AM : 40km long progression run in 2h11min. ( dirt road, undulating course, not too hard) + 1km wu/cd in around 5min each
10km splits: 35'34 / 33'12 / 32'30 / 29'57
PM : Rest

Day's total 42km, altitude 2300-2500m . Weather : AM +15C, partly cloudy
Note : I can't tell why they change it this way but due to the xc wch, they added a lot of hills for the long runs and some were run on very hard cross country courses, so i guess there was no need for more hills. This way they could focus on the speed endurance workouts on the track i guess.
This was the last 40k fast long run in this build-up.
It appears they have some 10-12 work outs per week. They have three hard sessions, two on track and one long run. This corresponds to 30-25% of hard running, in contrast to the 20:80 rule.
When Kipchoge was getting ready for the Nike 2hr attempt, Nike never published VO2 max or similar stats. I suspect this is because they are not impressive. Kipchoge is not likely to be an endurance monster such as Bekele. While obviously a very talented runner, his key gift is probably the ability to withstand this hard training without sickness or injury. This is probably in part genetic and in part due to the fact that he never completely stops running.
..not likely to be an endurance monster ... Are you you slightly high or just an idiot...?
Pacemakers will do what Hermens and organisers tell them to do. Considering how much Hermens loves Kipchoge, the other won't have a say in this. If Sang and Kipchoge want 60:30, then 60:30 will be assigned to the pacemakers.

The person on twitter is most definitely in Kipchoge's camp and actually asked for the person on this thread to contact him. Appears this person here is at best hearing things second hand.

As in, "Mzungu in Iten" is at best hearing things second hand?

So this thread is literally just Kenyan whispers, the running version of Chinese whispers

If this whole thread is a lie this is the best troll job in the history of letsrun.
