Conner Mantz Talks Leading Boston Marathon, Going For It, Passing Kipchoge after  

I loved this interview. Thank you for having your guard down and having a genuine conversation. So humble

Connor Mantz is a beast!!!! Who blacks out twice in a marathon 😂

What a great guy haha 😂

You did great. Stuck your nose in it to test yourself. Now you know a lot more because of cold and varying pace on rolling course.

Thanks for the great interview video. I learned a lot.

It's Good to see this new faces taking the challenge to confront the kenian ,Ethiopians it gives more flavor and excitement to this legendary Marathon, this young gentleman has a bright future. Congratulations for your great performance

Good effort c mantz

Conner Mantz.

I appreciate that he went for it. But, I think it is evident that it was the wrong move. I went for it one time in an 800 meter race as a high school freshman. Sitting in 3rd place 150 meters into the race, I panicked, because I was boxed in (on the inside lane directly behind the leader). So, I burst between the leaders and basically started sprinting. I then died and got passed by about 8 or 10 people in the last 600 meters. That was incredibly stupid of me, because I was literally right behind a 2:03 800-meter runner, and my PB was 2:26! What would the race had been like if Mantz hung back with Fable for the first half? They could have helped each other, and maybe they would have both done better. Fable ran the smarter race, and I have to give a ton of credit to him for his mental and physical toughness and patient persistence to keep working hard when he couldn't see the lead pack. There is a fine line between taking a calculated risk and insanity. That pace in the first half was pretty close to insane for non-Africans. No disrespect for Mantz here! He is obviously a beast!

Lol 🤣 I like this 😅

Way to stick with the lead pack!

Congrats man! Leading or passing anyone in a marathon or any race is meaningless if you finish behind them or DNF.

Member of church of Jesus Christ of later day saints. Congratulacions Connor Mantz.Great race.

It’s not a flex to pass Kipchoge on his worst day. Should have been a bit more low key talking about that.
