Smart money's on Kipchoge... his record speaks for itself... He's very confident (rightly so) and always perfectly prepared. Bekele has the raw talent- but also carrying some mental scars from recent years. If he has a "bad patch" that'll probably end the race. If he doesn't have a bad patch- has prepared well, and is not carrying any niggles, we could be in for one hell of a race- and that's what I hope happens....

[@fastinradfordable]

When he’s bad it gets to him. True. But when he is on. He is Superman. He feeds on others pain. If he starts hurting kipchoge it will only feed bekele. Bekele is the lion heart of ego most runners like to think they have. It is an amazing force I can’t imagine running that fast. I get stressed out trying to break 5min mile.

You just never know what you are going to get from Bekele. He has clearly lined up on numerous occasions with injuries just to receive the appearance fee in marathons over the years. I hope he pulls off one of the most film worthy stories of all time and takes down Kipchoge along with the world record in London. I hope to god he does it! and I'm a Kipchoge fan who was ringing my cowbell on the Prater in Austria for the ineos 1:59 challenge. Unless there are strong winds on the day there will be a world record. For Kipchoge it was so so easy in Austria and with little races/bonuses on offer this year or possibly next and the alphafly they are going after it! it's a perfect storm! excited as hell xx

I’m hoping for an epic race without any injuries or accidents while taking their water bottles and such. Kipchoge has dominated his mindset and once he gets in the zone he’s unstoppable. But a trained and healthy bekele is always a danger. However let’s not discard mosinet geremew he has been training really hard and he has a a marathon of 2:02:55. Oh man I can’t wait.

It all points out to Kipchoge. However, does not underestimate Geremew. And even though i do not like his tactics since he tends to take the lead - aka Kipchoge, as pacer, and then, make the final move., he has a tremendous amount of speed endurance. Great video from TRP, as usual.

[@natom1385]

I think up until I saw this video Bekele was very much a good shout especially if he is within 10 seconds of Kipchoge with 5K to go. But noticing that Bekele was looking at his watch trying to beat Kipchoge's world record in Berlin , I think his effort was maximal while Kipchoge's still makes me think he had a little extra in the tank if he gets pushed. Then again this could all make everyone look silly if another runner wins, NEWSFLASH: There are other world class runners in the race, let's show them some respect.

[@Thegardener87]

I hope they both get through this race without injury so they can both really race. It will be interesting to see Kipchoge being pushed as he is so often on his own. I can't wait!!

[@JCastro1085]

Alright TRP nice title! I have to give u that one....now for the race: The deck is stacked up again Kipchoge, this really isn’t a Marathon.....it’s 26.2 miles around the park (just like the INEOS159 CHALLENGE)....and where KB has an advantage is there’s no crowd to cheer Kipchoge on (which he feeds off of that) and it’s a track style race. I’m surprised the athletes agreed to this? For everyone thinking there will be a New World Record, I highly doubt it. The course has way to many turns and one of them is very sharp (slowing the athletes down).....the course is shown on the Seth DeMour channel. If KB can keep up with Kipchoge to the end, his closing speed might be a problem for Kipchoge. However if Kipchoge can race tactically....meaning throw down a challenge between miles 13-16 and then again at Mile 23.....I think he’ll drop his competition. This is the race of the decade!

[@gagekrall1683]

This is exactly what Seth said in his video😂 is this your opinions or seths?

[@es9998]

what are you talking about. the course is fast, its basically all flat and the runners just do loops

[@JCastro1085]

Gage Krall sharing Seths opinion, but anyone who’s watched these 2 athletes already knows there strengths & weaknesses. KB has the closing speed and Kipchoge likes to throw down 2 difficult 5ks in the race (it’s exactly what he did in London last year). It’s pretty obvious how Seth came to that conclusion. One other thing worth mentioning is the other athletes! Tola kept up with Kipchoge in Berlin (and that was his debut marathon if am not mistaken?) I’m curious to see if his endurance has improved. Also Geremew was right there with Kipchoge in London last year. Sir Mo Farah won Chicago with a 2:05 performance, I’m wondering if he’s gotten any stronger to keep up with the Kenyans & Ethiopians. Will Sir Mo Farah be racing?? I haven’t heard anything about him participating but this is his country (well at least the one he represents). My opinion....I don’t expect a world record....and to Me this isn’t a road race (which is what the Marathon is)....this feels like Monza all over again....just doing laps around a track, with no crowd support whatsoever. I ran Las Vegas last year and those first 6 miles on the strip went by in a blink of an eye cuz of the crowd cheering you on....then you turn to downtown Las Vegas and it sucked lol! There was no one out 😅

[@JCastro1085]

FC Barcelona1999 go look at Seth DeMoor channel and you’ll see the layout of the course, on the bottom right hand of the screen you’ll see a real sharp turn....that throws off your speed/cadence/momentum etc etc....similar to running uphill. Why do you think for INEOS159 the turns at the end were smooth and wide enough to not slow Eliud down?

[@joshuasantos3831]

I think that if kipchoge is going to win, he will push the pace just fast enough in the beginning to make bekele fall back and wait to attack at the end. If kipchoge can hold that pace, he might catch bekele off guard and bekele won’t be able to close fast enough. In that case, kipchoge will win. If kipchoge goes out too fast bekele will wait till the last couple of miles use his track strength to catch kipchoge. In that case, bekele will win

[@gilbertkemei9020]

Good insight there. If Bekele can keep up with the surges that Kipchoge tends to inject progressively he may win but if he lags too far behind conserving that finishing energy he will get there when Kipchoge is already celebrating. History has also shown that he tends to drop out in London cause the course isn't easy and Berlin is an easier course no wonder records get broken there. It's easy to say their official personal bests is 2 seconds difference but my head will go for Kipchoge. I want Bekele to win but I think Kipchoge won't let that happen.
