I get that but, 2:01:53 in Valencia is easily 2:03 if not, under 2:02:59. Kipchoge hit 2:02:37 in 2019 on that course months after his 2:01 in Berlin.
Kiptum could easily replicate such a performance. Not to mention he has a 58:42 Half Marathon PB. So the Lactate Threshold for a 2:00-2:03 Pace is there.
