      I wonder about that bottle exchange when the pacer reached for it. I thought the pacer might have been needing a refreshment, I hope he got it. Every piece for a strategy ideally has to be in place, and if the pacer is not refreshed enough then he'll fade sooner so he could lead less for Eliud. Claus is a big inspiration also besides Kipchoge

      @@EGL24Xx Its really not. Kipchoge did the marathon in 2:01:09 at an average pace of 33/kph. A quote from bottle Claus himself “Then you have to rush to your bike and sprint to the next water station 5km away, passing all kinds of lead trucks and bikes, meaning you have to ride about 40 km [per] hour and then start the same procedure over again. Why don't you try and bike at 40/mph for 2 hours

    • @EGL24Xx
      @EGL24Xx Před 9 měsíci +11

      @jacobbailey2950 did you fail math or are you just saying random numbers. Kipchoge ran an average speed of 21 km/h. Unless you really think he decided to run an extra half marathon+ just for fun. You bike for 40 km/h for two hours, you will overshoot the finish line by about an entire marathon. If I have to ride 40 km/h for 7 minutes at a time, waiting 7 minutes to start again, that's going to be very easy.
