He made all his runs on strava public. look through them- there's no doubt, he is 100% winning the trials, (i think hes even got the american record but that's just me)

maybe if he ran 7 days a week, but for some erason he does not
I was wondering if he was bluffing about hiding some of his training since his stress reaction, but clearly he wasn’t. Surprised he was able to get in such high mileage despite the injury. Definitely is super fit.

The trial have just become a 2 man race. No names mentioned but the other runner has run 30 more miles than Mantz this month and more marathon specific workouts.

exactly. if the race was a half marathon, mantz would win, but it's not, it's a full marathon
that's true, but in his first marathon he hardly slowed down, and it hardly counts anyway, because it was his first, in his second he got hypothermia, so that's a good excuse, and in his last one... yeah, he slowed down a lot for the last 5k. but he's been closing his recent workouts VERY hard, and has had 9 20+ mile long runs (including 2 25s 2 23s and 1 22) since chicago, which was 16 weeks ago. maybe he just hasn't been pacing his races well? he's been running for 15 years or so, does he need to do 30 something mile long runs?

Travel, taper, different weather and time zone, pressure, lack of experience, sickness…
plenty of things that could go wrong. Nothing is 100%. Strava doesn’t mean much either.
