"INEOS 159"

I thought he'd try it in Berlin.. but looks like he's going to do it similar to the breaking2 project.

i think if you ask ross tucker, there's no way he could do it in an actual race. he wasn't all that close when he broke the WR in berlin last year: 3% is a yawning gulf at that level. the breaking2 thing really does require perfect conditions, the pace car allowing him to draft, the track. at least for now.
Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

agree with the perfect conditions part - in terms of weather.

i think if Berlin has perfect conditions, he could actually do it there. but that's a pretty big gamble. With breaking2, they had a window, much better way to do it.

i think he could do it in Berlin tho. His 2:02:37 in London is pure insanity. I imagine that puts him low 2:00's in Berlin, under good weather conditions. Geremew ran the race of his life to get under 2:03. Kipchoge ran smart and turned it up at the end. He's just on a completely different level. IMHO, he only needs pacers for the first half - or a little longer. After that, this guy can get it done running by himself - well, not by himself, he needs the fans cheering at least. As long as he has energy from the crowd, he can do it. He doesn't need other runners. I think he definitely feeds off the crowds though, it keeps him focused/happy.

As for the fitness, it looks like he has it to me. Going 2:00:23? (breaking2) 2:01:37 (berlin) then 2:02:37? (london, holding back) is unreal. This guy doesn't "burn out" / "get content" running at his peak, instead he gets motivated to run faster the next year. Superior mental fitness, his biggest strength IMHO.

Find a clip of Kipchoge running, fresh in a race, good form and strength. Then loop that clip for 2 hours. that's Kipchoge. :ninja:

But ya sub2 is crazy.. I can't bet against Kipchoge tho, he's an alien. :ninja: :ninja: :ninja: :ibrunning:

just a response to someone i follow on yt who said eliud is becoming "too corporate" and why not have all of the pacers be kenyans from his training camp:

Quote
I don't mind if Eliud is becoming "too corporate". As he's stated in many interviews, he wants "everyone to run". I genuinely believe that's his main mission now. He wants people to come together by running & to become empowered by running. As for him only using his Kenyan training partners - don't see why INEOS would want that from a marketing perspective, nor Eliud from a global perspective (several nations coming together to help achieve this goal). Many of those pacers have their own fan bases, who will now be more inclined to tune in - if they weren't already. Regardless, some of his training partners & close friends will be pacing him in the event. I'm sure there will be quite a few additional ones from his team, who just aren't listed on the site. The list of pacers on the INEOS site is small, I imagine there will be many more runners involved. I'd be surprised if the final full list of pacers weren't majority Kenyan. Finally, even with all of his success, he continues to live & train in Kenya. He's always shining a light on his team, community, country etc. peace!

i love eliud ;d

he's either going to hit 1:58:XX or go over 2.

he's in incredible shape right now, apparently.
