I'm still in other disbelief over Kelvin Kiptum's reported training. There was no way that man was going to have a super long career. I say that because while Kipchoge's training isn't that level of psychotic, it's not too terribly far off, and as you said he's been doing it for decades. There inevitably comes a point where the body can't take it. Kipchoge's disappointment is overshadowing that the winning athlete broke his course record with really fast time... And while super shoes are a big part of the marathon craziness now and I don't want to trivialize the insane work Kiptum put in, I do wonder how much of this is now that there's a new generation athletes coming along who have trained specifically targeting the roads from a young age (a lot of money there) and they're also putting insane reps, most likely not what Kiptum was doing but still likely beyond what Kipchoge can do at his age. In fact, his training regime emphasizes not beating himself down to utter exhaustion like Kiptum was, which has payed off hugely for his longevity. But I think we've finally reached a tipping point where by sheer force of younger will I don't think he'll be able to keep up with the Kiptums. And I say Kiptums not because he wasn't a generational talent, but rather as it stands I think his record will last for a surprisingly short time. The general progression of the field is insane and I have a feeling some young person is going to also get into that fabled 2:00 territory pretty soon actually. But I felt Kiptum was the man who was going to legally break 2 hours, and that's probably not happening for a long while now...

When an athlete of any caliber tells the world he’s ready for a “Good race”, and on the actual race they start to feel like things aren’t going well, the high expectations can kick in an anxiety that affects the athlete mentally and that could lead to an underperformance. I think that’s what happened to Eliud Kipchoge. Eliud Himseld and the world may have set high expectations on him, forgetting that he’s actually lost two races ( London and Boston) which means he’s beatable, we should not underestimate the unknown potential that the others bring to the race; some of the other athletes may prepare themselves not just to race, but to actually beat Kipchoge. Remember that it took Kelvin Kiptum peace be upon his soul, who came out of nowhere, it took him three races to destroy the marathon world record and shock the world in a way no one has ever done before. Just imagine he’d meet Kipchoge on a race, what would’ve Kiptum done to Kipchoge? Sometimes we just have to conclude that an athlete looses a race because the others were better prepared, which in my opinion it is what happens to every athlete that looses. And there is no need for further speculations.

Kelvin Kiptum didn't go out at world record pace and he always did a negative split. However, in Berlin twice and now Tokyo, Kipchoge went out at 2:00 or sub-2 pace. That's wild. I think he's trying too hard to prove he can go sub-2 in an official marathon. The older he gets the more he pays the price. If he ran with more discipline he'd likely have performed better in all of those races highlighted.

Kipchoge might want to get an allergy test. Here in Japan the pollen allergies are terrible. After the war, some genius though planting one species of cedar tree would create a robust lumber industry. Unfortunately, the tree is supposed to grow in more northern climates so the wood in the ones planted in Tokyo are too soft for building materials. The result is that the sugi trees were all planted at the same time, all matured at the same time, and all started releasing pollen at the same time. Even people without allergies have symptoms. It is that bad. The Tokyo Marathon was right in the middle of pollen season.

What Kipchoge's run actually showed was just how amazingly consistent he has been over the majority of his Marathon career. The marathon distance is brutal for anyone, and to run so many world class races and to have only a couple of blips ( 2hr 06 is not a blip), is amazing. Bekele is running 2hr 04 into his 40's so don't put Kipchoge out to pasture just yet. What Kipchoge has given his rivals the most of is belief, Kipruto a 2min PB in this race, where did that come from, self belief because Kipchoge has proven what is possible.

oooh I see - a kenyan has never run in the sun, he ran a little too fast early, he's getting older. Glad I looked to the experts to sort this out. I would have spent the rest of my meager life wondering what the cause of Kipchoge's "off day" with a 2 hour marathon. To summarize the profundity of your analysis: 1) don't get old 2) don't run in the sun 3) run at the right pace I will carry this wisdom to my grave - thank you wise commentator

It’s called age your making it bigger than it needs to be as you always do. No man has beaten father time all the rest are just EXCUSES for Kipchoge. He is nearing 40 he will slow down no matter what training he does. He is not some invincible man you think he is retirement is inevitable.

The shoes he were were not the standard alphafly 3s but a prototype called Dev15. But mostly probably bc he is 39…

Maybe it was just his “tune-up” race for the Paris Olympics. He was testing the waters. As I saw in the race, the other runners were at world record pace.

Kipchoge is damaged psychologically. Kenyans blamed him for the death of Kiptum saying that he never congratulated Kiptum and he should be investigated. On Twitter, they descended on him like Piranhas. Hope he gets back to his ultimate mental state before the Olympics

You havent mentioned him not sleeping for 3 days beforehand partly due to stress over misinformation over him being involved in the death of the WR holder in a car accident. (Something there is no evidence of and which would be totally put of character for him), but unfortunately his family was being threatened and it was extremely disturbing.

He’s human and humans have bad days. But his shoes were not the Alphafly 3 this time; they’re an unreleased variant that was approved day of.
