khanouchi had a 60:27 half marathon personal best and also ran 60:28 and 60:47 and he said he trained through those as well.
obviously 64 minutes for him was more than training through, it was also a bad day.

His PR on a non aided pancake flat course is 2:05:37, so I say if he is having a good day he should be able to run 2:04, maybe even threatening the times that Duncan Kibet ran there a few years ago.
No WR.
If you would have done some research before posting, you would have discovered that Mosop was out for a LONG time (1-2 months) with an achilles injury prior to running that time. No running, no cross training, NOTHING. Next time, instead of jumping the gun on something you know nothing about, use the internet.
If under a good training block, Mosop will threaten the WR.
that is obviously bollocks on KK's part.
1:59:99

Hmm either 1:59:59 or 1:59:00;99
but your version is completely right:-(
Fast time but no WR. The Boston time is meaningless and the 30K track record is a seldom run event. He\'s a stud but a little overhyped.

If he's in top form and everything goes perfectly, 2:03:25. I don't see a sub 2:03 in the cards for anyone other than G Mutai right now and he's not running Rotterdam, so it's not happening this year.
THIS^^^

If you really think that he was out for 2 months because of achilles injury and still ran 2:05 then I can't help you.
Runners/coaches hardly ever tell you what shape they're really in. There is no doubt that Mosop is a good runner but a 2:05:37 runner talking about running 2:02 shows nothing but disrespect for the Marathon.
A lot of it will depend on his pacemakers. It he has great pacemakers and the weather is perfect, he could shave a few seconds off the record. 2:03:25 if all goes perfectly.
He stays on pace for 2:03:00 right until the final 5k and hits a wall. 2:04:17
goes out in 1:01:30, doesn't fade much. finishes dang close to his Boston time.

Mosop was only four seconds back of G Mutai at Boston 2011. Granted, Mutai's fall marathon was more impressive than Mosop's, but Mosop wasn't at full strength. If Mosop has had a full training cycle with no interruptions, I think the sky's the limit. I don't think he merely caught lightning in a bottle at Boston 2011.

What do you think he'd run at Boston, in reverse, uphill with the wind in his face?

history would suggest he'd still finish within a couple seconds of Geffrey Mutai, the current world record holder.

The WR is 2:07?
He got blew away pretty bad in Paris. You do know Paris was won in 59.44 and he ran 62.00... He is not in WR shape. 2.05 at best.

Why not 2:04;55? Rotterdam 2010?
peter kirui and sammy kitwaraare also looking for sub 2:04 and to win rotterdam along with mosop.
anyone have a link to the entire elield for rotterdam?
