Kipchoge is in the elite group of genetic freaks who then maximize their potential. Many genetic freaks never do. Another example of a genetic freak is Michael Phelps - yes, perfect body for swimming, but he was also highly motivated to win.
Kipchoge found his perfect event in the marathon. He doesn’t need to dope.
There are actually people out there that believe he's not doped up?.... interesting
I think we need the clown guy in here, there more I see his posts the more sense they are starting to make.
To think i used to like kipchoge, what a fooking joke!
Just for the sake of argument and because Eliud Kipchoge looks like a saint and is wonderful for the sport, let's just look once again at how much the various elements of the spectacle helped him to cut time before we say that we know that he did this because of doping. First, he's no fly by night runner. He burst on the scene in 2003 with the 5000m victory over Bekele and El Guerrouj, the world record holders at 1500m (3:26.00), mile (3:43.12), 2000m (4:44.xx), 5000m (12:37.36) and 10000m (26:17), plus second all-time in the 3000m (7:23 El G) and marathon (2:01:41), at the absolute top of their form. It's sixteen years later and he's the marathon world record holder, Olympic champion in the marathon, and holder of the three fastest all-conditions marathons (1:59:40, 2:00:26, 2:01:39; he's also run several others at low 2:03 or better). Second, he's drinking some sort of fancy recovery drink or swishing it around in his mouth and it's supposed to be worth some time. Third, he's handed his drink and so saves approximately a minute from not having to go out of his way to get it. Fourth, he had fresh drafters and people to run with in a highly aerodynamic profile set by a metronomic pace car and laser pointer for 26 miles, which is worth easily a minute. Fifth, those pillows of shoes are worth a minute or two. All this indicates that he was not pushed especially hard to run this. My guess is that for this great runner it was as hard as a hard long tempo, maybe worth a 2:04-5, which is maybe 97% effort.
