Eliud Kipchoge's Plan To Win The 2023 Boston Marathon 

This year’s Boston marathon is going to be ‘insane’ ‘crazy’ etc etc jokes aside 2023 looks like another great year for marathon running.

All that waffle to get to the inevitable conclusion that Kipchoge will dominate

If Nascimento goes out as fast as he did in NY... Kipchoge will use him as a pacer for the first half but during second half we all know who can hold some high pace after very fast half marathon. Though kipchoge likes to run Infront from the start.

I’m running Boston this year but I’m tempted to withdraw just to watch it instead!!

After what happened to Do Nascimento at the Tokyo Olympics AND in New York, I really hope we see him finish! He is so talented and young - tremendous potential if he can perfect his racecraft. Kipchoge prepares so meticulously, is so intelligent in his racing - I think the GOAT will win in a spectacular way per usual. I look forward to watching the replay since I'll be running it - what an amazing year to be in Boston! 🦄🎉

Kipchoge has earned the "why are we even talking about who is going to win this race" status

I think the determining factor will be the temperature. Kipchoge proved in Tokyo that he can win in the heat...if it is warm, above 60F, I think Kipchoge will take the victory.

Hello from Brazil. Daniel do Nascimento is our hope for the next years. It seems he is not completely mature yet, but we can't deny he is SO STRONG!

Oh man, I'm going to miss watching the Boston marathon... because I will be running it!

I think there are two very different scenarios that could play out: 1) some crazy front runners pushing the pace, basically doing the work for Kipchoge as he passes them at 14 miles; 2) Kipchoge intimidates everyone and the other racers are afraid to push pace. The result will be that Kipchoge runs a very fast half and basically throws down the ultimatum: run at my pace or have zero chance to win. Whatever the scenario, Kipchoge will still win.

Very very informational video. Thank you. Looking forward to the race

I love your content, keep it up!

Kipchoge has a lot of experience with running long runs, especially marathons. He has strategies and a way to plan and focus that many others do not possess. He has great coaches and focuses on his strategies very hard, so I think a few runners will try to intimidate Eliud at the beginning with fast pacing and somewhere right after mid point but Eliud will teach them a lesson. He knows how to maintain a pace for a long time and at the right moment, kick it in and win. When he is determined he reaches his goal. He is an excellent, if not the best, example of what a long distance runner is: determined, sticks to his goals, strategic thinking during training and runs, and relaxed. Can’t wait to see the race, go get’em Eliud

absoluty love ur content ❤

the marathon is 26 miles and not 21. His PB is 2:04:51 in the Seoul marathon where he was placed 3rd. Yes, he has potential, but currently he is ranked number 17 in the world so I would not really call it "clashing" with the goat

Anyone remeber Daniel and Kipchoge's fistbump at the Tokyo Olympics? 😄

Kipchoge chasing down Do Nascimento in Boston would be an absolute WILD sight to see, living nearby and definitely going to watch it

Let's not forget that Nascimento did the same in the Olympics and DNF as well.

Thanks so much for the fire video as always. I believe Kipchoge is going to run his fastest time yet and win the race.

I could hardly see kipchoge spotting people any distance in front of him especially considering he's shown he's not afraid to go out blazing like he did in Berlin

even though pacers aren't allowed, with this field you might not need pacers :)

Can’t wait to watch this in person

Ooh how I love my Kenyan country men... Go go go ! Kenya! 1. Eliud Kipchoge 2. Evans chebet 3. Benson kipruto 4. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Boston is going all out to make the most of this unique opportunity to host Kipchoge. This single marathon (and world champs) will have a major impact on global rankings.

Good 👍 work brother keep it up brother

Now April 17 gonna feel like 100 years away lol

I agree, Daniel keep that pace so many K's and also today I don't know what was the exact reason of his colapse in NY, could be something not related to his preparation, an injury or other thing.

If Kipchoge wins 2 marathons this year, it means he'll be fit enough to take part in the next Olympics 🤯.

Pacers are great and very important but I think Kipchoge will have the discipline to follow his planned race without them. But yeah, it will be an awesome marathon!

My cross country season in middle school is starting, right as the live Boston Marathon starts for me to watch. Spring season is gonna be awesome! Edit: My cross country starts next week on March 20th!

Lead pack pushes Kipchoge to find a new gear in the second half. 2-hour barrier falls!

Luis Fernando 1 second ago It was a very hot humid day at the NY Marathon. The colder weather in Boston will allow Daniel to stay tough and throughout the race and give Kip competition.

Homestly….Kipchoge probably would still keep up if an athlete front runs. And if somebody asks him after his victory he be like: “yeah that blonde pacer was good he was there till 30km”

commenting for the algorithm I love your channel keep up the good work

how’s the overall state of the hs winter track season right now?

The weather will be a factor! If the weather is brutal like 2018 then I wonder if Kipchoge will have the right kind of grit. Otherwise I say it goes to the GOAT.

Just about anything will be better than the NY conditions. We can't forget how much that may have changed Nascimento's race. I'd love to see him go out like that again in 49 degrees F and dry 🧐

Daniel do Nascimento Orgulho do Brasil

its Boston so we shouldn't expect super fast times, but fast times for Boston. We all know who the favorite and who will likely win. I'm kinda interested in the sub stories. Who will PR or move up the world rankings. Who will be the top American? Who becomes the break out star (new previously unheard of)?

It’s incredible to see 20 odd runners who can do less than 3min per km over 40-45km. Endurance plus.

Danielzinho ou kipchoge, que dúvida cruel. 🇧🇷 Brasil

Oh i should watch this marathon then

I'm registered for this race but I'm injured!!! (Not that I would be up there with those guys even if I were fit).That said, nobody is gapping Kipchoge.

Interesting challenge for Kipchoge. The course and elevation changes are so unique at Boston, certainly will have to employ a different strategy than he did for Berlin, Tokyo, etc. I’ve no doubt he’s up to the task.

GOAT!

Do Nascimento will go off really fast, the NBC commentators won't have done their homework so they won't know who he is and will be totally shocked that Kipchoge isn't leading at 5k. That is my prediction

I think we gona see a sub 2h Boston Marathon this year .. where u have 4-5runners up to 33-35km together. Lets se what happen but sub 2h its on target if the weather a good!

If someone decides to open early, he will be marked as a pacemaker. Brains✌🔥🔥

Do Nascimento is a star. I’m so excited to see him race again. He would have learnt a lot from his NY marathon which was so hot and humid and it will be unreal to see what he can do in normal conditions. I don’t think Kipchoge will have it easy. I predict lots of attacks on Kipchoge with the main attacker being Do Nascimento, but I think Kipchoge will win in the end because the last 10km will show who is boss. The time could be sub 2:00 if there is a tail wind. I think Kipchoge knows this is the first step to sub-2:00 on a racecourse as it’s down hill with a tailwind. The next step will be sub-2:00 on a legal course.

If the weather is good Kipchoge should do real good and win. Idk about a record but he will have tough competition.

My predictions: - Do Nascimento pushes the pace early - Kipchoge uses Do Nascimento as a pacer - At some point, Kipchoge blows past Do Nascimento and goes on to win the race. Kinda unclear on details of that third point: - Do N might blow up, especially if he tries to push harder to drop Kipchoge. - Do N might just have to slow down, to avoid blowing up. - Kipchoge might reach say halfway and decide he's ready for the second part of a negative-split race (like in his Berlin WR race) - Kipchoge might just sit behind Do N for ~40km and then outkick him to the finish. I'm pretty sure he could, but kinda doubt that he'd choose to. ("negative-split" etc all grade-adjusted of course, I know Boston goes down and then up)

Be interesting to see. I've known a lot of guys who could whip me in a 20 miler or under, but never beat me in a marathon.

These guys are beast. Yes genetics play a big part but what makes them great is their hard work and big hearts

In my view Kipchoge is far too experienced to let himself be influenced by other runners going too fast. He will stick to his race-plan, he knows it works, and we know he is the best.

I wanna see sub 2

Im running Boston this year and I can’t wait to get it done, its been brutal training for it 😂 my dream is to take a pic with the goat

At a buffet, I personally sneak corn into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 boiled corn ears in my jacket pockets. It is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat my corn thinking they were part of the buffet

I'm trying to run a mile and a half under 12:50 and am struggling, this guy is not human.

This could be the craziest race ever.sub 2.01 if they get favourable weather.

I'm exited by this years Boston Marathon. My only concern is the weather, especially how the African athletes will handle extreme cold.

If it is not too warm and there is not a head wind, Kipchoge may go sub two hours.

It is a hard one with Daniel, on one hand, you could say he had phenomenal pace, however, on the flip side, you could say, he ran at his half pace and not his true marathon pace, otherwise, he would have been able to maintain it, I suspect Eluid could go much faster, but he knows he couldn't do it for the distance

Daniel with the same last name as the great Pele!

Sorry, but have you lead NYC marathon for 21 miles? is not a response I expect from a reasonable person like you. Kipchoge’s half split at Berlin was 59:51, second half he slowed down but did finish. Nascimento’s NYC half was 1:01 and fell short by 5 miles. Thats a lot of miles at elite level considering how many are running 2:02/3/4s. Not saying the guy’s not talented and maybe he’ll run sub-2 one day but its utter disregard for 26.2 to say ‘what if’. Nascimento fell short by 5 miles and only way to know if he can run 2:01/2/3 or under is for him to actually finish with that time.

Well i think will just run with someone who tries to gap the field and basically use them strategically to then win in the end... that is what I expect if no emergency situations occur

So what's Kipchoge's plan? And when does it include "make them suffer"?

I don’t think you should use the 2018 Boston Marathon as a point of comparison for anything. It was probably the most bizarre and unpredictable Boston ever run. It will be fun to see Kipchoge give this unique course a run. Can’t wait to see what he does. Eventually Father Time catches up…

When

But I will watch the Goat Kipchoge in this race. Depending on the weather, if it's blizzard conditions kipchoge might not finish and it just might be a Longshot.

I also agree , if he could not finish the race then we shouldn't bring it up because it simple means that his body cant handle it "hit a wall".

Maybe Do Nascimento is the one and only pacer who could push Eliud to further lowering his WR.

1200th like to TRP!!

I'm sure other runners could match that time for 21 miles ..in a 21 race. Since he stopped at 21 that's all you can give him. It's like saying I'm fast because I can run a 400 faster than what some mile runners will run...on pace to their mile lol

LORD HAVE MERCY HMMMM

When you want to watch the elite race of, potentially, one of the most competitive Marathons in history, but you're running the race yourself 😭

2:15 😂

Is this runner called Daniel do Nascimento who went all out in New York the same guy of the fistbump with Kopchige during 2020 Tokyo Olympic marathon?

Stop with the bait thumbnails...

He looks so old! He is the greatest runners of all times

Did Boston change there philosophy for if I'm not mistaken appearance money usually wasn't given out. Has this now changed?

Take a shot every time he uses a superlative

my complete guess is anyone's going out fast at the start to gap pace is still slower than kipchoge's normal race pace, and those going out fast will only help pace kipchoge.

I bet if someone tries to gap early he'll stay with them as long as it isn't too reckless. That said, if someone goes out stupid fast Kipchoge will sit and hawk him down I'd say around mile 20. If this happens I could see him doing what he did at London in 2019 and dropping everyone else just after halfway to go catch the leader

I do find it funny that there are no pacers allowed at Boston, but can use Garmin watches with is the digital equivalent. 😂

Anyone who is hoping to go for the win (either Chebet, Do Nascimento, etc) should stick with Kipchoge. It does not make sense to take off... just too much risk. Kipchoge is a master at pacing, let him do it, and then if the other guys have energy go for the last push. Probably only in strange conditions (very cold, rainy, super windy, or somehow a super slow race) should any of the other guys take off and go solo. Another option would be if a group of 2-3 would break off leaving the main pack behind. Still, I think the safer and wiser thing is to draft from Eliud. Good thing I'll be running Boston this year, although I believe a bit behind of those guys. I will report back hahah.

A Runner will win Boston Marathon under 2 hours in 2023.

Can you factor Kipchoge running under 1hour last year in Berlin? Then consider the insane endurance of running negative splits. Another underdog is Amos Kipruto. It's funny how y'all really forget about him. Nevertheless, we doubt the consistency and greatness of Kipchoge for a minute and it backfires on our face

Kipchoge a records is under threat won’t last much longer I predict within 5 years it will go down by someone else.

He looks much older than 39 ....Jeez!

Keep them guessing master. You know there will be some young bloods gunning for you. I am sure if you show up, you will again show them who is GOAT. Stay safe.

Titles like that belong to combat and at most contact sports lol

I think the hillier course will eliminate Daniel Do Nascimento once again. But I will watch if he goes out at Kipchoge pace!

Plan to Win: SHOW UP.......That's it #GOAT

Just to help you guys with the pronunciation, we say Daniel do Na - see - mayto

What color is ur Bugatti?

Will this be Eliod Kipchoge first time running the Boston Marathon, ?? why does he not run in the US?? (only ran once???)

Nasciemnto knew the conditions in NYC were hot and didn’t make an adjustment. And finishing 80% of a race doesn’t say anything. If I pace for 80% of the distance of a race, of course I would be running faster. Boston will definitely give him a chance to prove himself. But Kipchogue is on another level…

looks like the goat will have pacers

I’m brazilian athlete

😂😂😂 not surprised at all his body shut down at mile 21. Everyone else could have ran his pace too but they wouldn’t finish either so they don’t
