Not many runners run 40km every 7 to 10 days at marathon pace. That is a mammoth workout even for a 203 guy.
I know, but a 2:03 guy probably does his long runs at sub 2:20 pace, so he could run lots of sub 2:20's if he formally entered races in place of his long runs.
I am not knocking Kawauchi, I just think lots of runners could do this, More impressive to me is how many times he has gone under 2:12, and remember he is a 2:08 Marathoner, still it is insane hasn't he run sub 2:10 or 2:11 a week or 2 apart onseveral occasions, amazing.
