Fun post to read, you can tell that you are ecstatic, but numbers dont lie and Kipchoge's number is still the lowest, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kipchoge knocks off another 15 -30 seconds in the next couple years.
Kipchoge will break 2 at the INEOS challenge, then go back to Berlin and be the 1st to break 2 hours in a legitimate Berlin marathon.
Kipchoge's worked for this, his simple schedule with primitive like living has put him into form just like before. Now though in Bekele you have someone who's used this approach and is at or near Kipchoge's level.
A couple of 2hr marathoners from rival countries toeing the line not distracted by time, bonuses, and corporate ties but focused on racing? This now moves to racing and the competitive desire to show their best is enough.
A great day for sport and to show Bekele's fortitude
