it's ridiculous that people are upset that Jim went for the intermediate record. And those who don't think he could've broken the 100k record at all, well, I'm sorry you feel that way. Jim aimed for 6:00, not 6:09. He failed. Maybe he could've just run 5:56/mi the whole way and held on, but that's not how he decided to approach it. He knew it was a risk, and he probably didn't expect it to go well, especially once the forecast came in.
Jim failed again. He wanted to run sub 6 hours. Nobody forced him to do that. As we said before. Jim is a great 50 mile racer and now he has the record for 50 miles. Which is great. But he failed at the 100k distance again.
Jim is just not good when shite hits the fan. He doesn't have what is needed to be a good ultrarunner beyond 50 miles.
Course record on the 100mi Western States race. He can do longer than 50 miles, and does it well. In this sense Kipchoge is a failure. He wanted to break 2 hours and didn't. He's a failure and no matter what he does, or how many WRs he has and marathon majors he wins, he is still a failure. We saw it in London, he failed. We saw in Berlin, he failed. Such a waste of talent when all he does is fail.
