Did you think he will break 2 hours in the marathon? Do you think he could break two in a regular marathon? How many more marathons des he have in him to break two?

Yes, he will break 2 for this project. No, he will not in a "regular" marathon. Not going to happen for him. Shaving another 1:40 off an already trimmed down time is too much to ask of his body.
2021 in Berlin he will break 2.
Ineos this fall and Tokyo next fall means we have to wait til fall the year after for the sub2 @Berlin. Auugghhhhh
He seems to be injury proof. Only mid 30s, I'd say he has 10 years / chances left. He's in such great shape.
No jinx.
I'm pretty much confident he'll go sub-2 unless something goes totally wrong (injury, sickness etc).
Still don't believe we will see a sub-2 in a regular marathon race unless they get superhuman pacemakers. But as history shows usually pacemakers have hard time to keep the Kipchoge's pace even for half the distance.
Can't! No way. He can't do it.
Are you reading this, Eliud? You CAN'T break 2. Impossible.
Didn’t some mad scientist mentioned that the theoretical limit of a perfect human in perfect condition can run a 1:57:58 marathon from the breaking 2 documentary? Kipchoge should break that time instead! 1:57:25?

This is what I think. He'll do it in Vienna but his current record may stand for a long time.
I wonder what Sammy Wanjiru could have run in a breaking 2 scenario.
Everyone sounds pretty confident he will do it in Vienna. Sounds like he is in better shape for this attempt then last time he tried sub 2. Anyone out there watched his last sub 2 and figured out where he could of shaved 25 seconds off?

Better shape THAN last time.
Come on, it’s not that hard.
Yep blew it. Got it. Thx.
Ineos has a large window for this effort.
If they manage to have a moderate rain event at a good time, and start the effort as rain stops falling, that will allow enough ions or fairy dust or whatever in the air to make the difference between this and the Nike event.
The "real" sub-2 is going to come one of these years in Dubai, to someone nobody expects. There will be some weird day there where it's cool for some reason, and there you go.
No, because climate change.

How many more marathons does he have in him to break two? He can try, he won't make it.
Sorry for not drinking the kool-aid

At the end, they should have all the pacers form a wall and have Kipchoge follow that wall. Could save maybe another 5-7 seconds.
On the third attempt Nike should set up a corridor of hay bales stacked about 5 high and follow Kipchoge with a car with a fan on it blowing at about 30 mph.

He would done better than Lelisa and Tadese, but probably won’t come close to Kipchoge. Maybe a 2:03:05.

Why are you so obsessed with the fan thing? Every thread about EK and sub2, you post the same thing.
What would he have to run in this project to bring an actual sub 2 possibility into the question? Would he have to run under 1:59?
Yep, my bet is that he does it, that guy is something else.
I enjoyed the Breaking 2 project but I’m less interested this time around, I’ll watch it, but I’m not lapping up the ‘content’ like I was previously. Partly because it’s INEOS (and you know what, F those guys) and partly because the circus isn’t as exciting the second time. I’d much rather be anticipating Kipchoge going head to head with Bekele this weekend.
Mad props to him for doing his thing, he’s definitely the GOAT, but come back to real racing please.

Then stop running Berlin or these contrived things, and run NYC in the fall.
