Kipchoge MIA in the middle of the course. No confirmation if he has dnf or not.

Anyone watching Olympic marathon now? Can't watch, as I am outside. Might be able to catch the end.

He dropped back @ the hills...... 1st hr mark already see being dropped liao. LHS also seems to have stitch or something (hand holding above hips area)

Before the event already quite the speculations from a few that the course might not suit him. (even though we'd know he would have trained the heck out of this and was prepared)

Here, cant see well but hand on his hips

Too bad this course is not for him. Hip, looks like recurring injury. Hope he recovers well, and able to be a elite runner in the Master category like Bekele. Also read alots of stress from safety concern for his family from threats.

Doesn't seem tally to what you said.

180s is peak but dropping quickly after that.

All looks normal if you are doing a hard run.

I understand what you meant.
My observation was earlier runs. The one in the image was the best. Others were worse. After reaching 180 then stay at high rate and felt very difficult to run.

You will improve as you increase volume of run.

Just enjoy the runs.

Always remember to increase intensity and mileage progressively.

Esp prevalent in cycling. My personal belief, for serious amateurs and below (which is the vast majority), this is even more impt than a super good bike fit and solves a wider range of possible problems and in better depth.

Alas. I cannot speak much for running as i havent been running much, but seriously with the current timings (slightly better than last year). i have had ZERO injuries or pain. Unfortunately this cant be a direct compario with last year, coz last year no cross training, strength and plyo.

Also, got other +ve "side effects", like enabling you to be a better all-rounder, able to dabble in other sports stuff as well, even aiding you in general activities.
eg just a few weeks ago i was hauling my granny on her wheel chair down/up 1 flight of stairs. No issue.
Others literally CMI and pain literally immediately after that, coz the angle not there so need to put in a lot of "torque" etc.

Try running in school tracks that are open to public. Uni/poly, easy to find girls out there. I usually frequent the poly track since it's the closest from my home and out of convenience, not to beo xmm.

Can Kiplimo replace Kiptum and able to finish FM sub 2? I'm rooting for him.
He has the potential but I don't see him making the move anytime soon. Still young, probably will keep doing HMs and getting better at it, before transiting up to FM when older.

Watch out for Tamirat Tola/Sisay Lemma. Both are good runners, especially the latter. They train together, so will push each other to be better. Cheptegei will be moving up to marathon, though not as talented as Kiplimo but will be doing longer distance training, to acclimatise with marathon.

Must watch race

400m hurdler gold vs 200m gold

hurdler ran 46.46 for hurdles and 43.13 for the relay split (400 PB 44.21).
200m olympic gold medallist ran 43.03 for the relay split (400 PB 44.29).
400m olympic silver medallist ran 43.00 for the relay split (not anchor runner, his PB is 43.44).
