CrimWalCoug All-American in practice

It’s not going to happen in Paris because the course is too hilly and the weather will be too warm. But the progression they’ve had in this build seems to indicate a sub-2:05 marathon could be in their future.

Where will the Kenyans be? Like they have no real chance for a medal, correct?

No, Conner and Clayton have a very low chance at a medal in Paris. Here are my odds.

I haven’t looked at who is entered, but I see two factors helping them towards a top 5-10 finish.

Two other things Conner and Clayton have going for them.

Most marathoners are more prize money oriented in their training, I suspect. Fewer are medals focused.

I bet most on starting line have some mild injury. Doubt Clayton gets over

The reason is high mileage doesn’t allow

Clayton has been pretty forthright about injuries in his docu-series. Hasn’t mentioned his hamstring recently.
