    In my mind everything depends on what the other competitors decide to do tactically. Kipchoge's a machine, but he's not gonna break away from a pack at mile 5 because they're not running 4:40 pace from the gun. There are quite a few super high caliber athletes in the field who could potentially split sub-62 for the opening half if they wanted to, but they could also split around 65 in which case it would be near impossible for Eliud to finish anywhere under 2:06.

      Ive ran boston at it has a lot of down hill and narrow turns . Also big late hills with wind swirling. Is usually 5 to 7 minutes slower then most races. Also the crowds stand to close to the runners making it more difficult to breath and relax with all the screaming and drink dropping on surface. You can slip easy on gatorade as the road is a narrow 2 lane highway

    • @mathieudube6907

      There is no reason why Kipchoge cant set the leading pace like he did at the olypics. The other two kenyans will not allow Kipchoge to simply take off. They will have no choice but to go with him. Thats the kenyan way. Kipchoges biggest advantage over his peers is that he is by far the best 42km time-trialist the world has ever seen. Everyone knows it. He will exploit it.

    Another reason for the 2011 Boston CR -- Ryan Hall took it out FAST and he was fit enough that Mutai and others took him seriously. Without pacers, it is going to require another aggressive start by a competitive field for Kipchoge to do something really special. The best races are truly team efforts.

  • @lenvm

    Agreed. Unpredictable because in two recent years (1994 and 2011), there was a 20mph tailwind the whole way, making those Bostons basically the easiest major marathons in recent history. Other years have been among the hardest. As of ten days out, weather predictions call for a significant headwind so I don’t think even Kipchoge can do it unless the weather turns out different.

Hoping for the best for my own sake and Kipchoge's.

    With all the downhill on the first half of the race, he could push for a sub one hour, and then not have to push so hard on the uphills in the second half. But, however he decides to run, he does have a chance and setting a new course record.

      Downhill destroy legs way more than flat or uphill section, so he will need to work on it. But the good news is that Eliud is the goat, so can't wait to see what will happened.

    The best marathon runner ever in unpredictable conditions vs a course record set with as close to ideal conditions as you can get on that course. If the conditions are anywhere near ideal, Kipchoge walks away with the course record. If not, he's so good and so experienced with various different types of conditions that he could still threaten it but it's much less likely. If the conditions are OK but not ideal, I can still see him taking the record but he won't smash it by a minute or more without ideal conditions.

    How he runs depends on the weather imho. I raced Boston in 2018 and will never forget that race and being treated for hypothermia postrace for over an hour after finishing.

    Kipchoge's first goal is to win all 6 majors, if he gets a course record along the way that would be great, but he won't look past the first place. He does run better in cool to mild conditions, so hopefully he'll get that on the day.

    Predictions:
    - If Kipchoge is healthy and the weather isn't absurd, then he will almost certainly win
    - If the weather is favourable, then Kipchoge will likely break the course record.
    - If the weather is favourable and there's at least a moderate tailwind, then Kipchoge will probably break the course record
    - On second thought, I don't think he's likely to break 2 hours. It's a famously unpredictable race, and he isn't trying to run it as fast as possible - he's trying to make sure that he wins the race and beats the course record (which is a bit over 2:03). I assume he has different plans depending on race-day conditions, but in any case I don't think he'd speed up for any reason other than to beat any other runners who look like finishing ahead of his intended time. And realistically there's no way he'd have to run close to 2 hours just to beat someone else.
