And Stevief replied saying irrespective of the controlled conditions, the man still had to run it.

Totally agree with that... He knows he can do it now .. I hope he's got another couple of years at this level. Because I think he's capable of doing it in a marathon

Great run!

 

Maybe someone can tell me why runners can't wear headphones when racing?

 

I thought it was to prevent pacing info being given, but it appears that Kipchoge had pacers and a laser light from a car (according to Sky) giving him the pace.

Probably because runners with headphones are 39% more oblivious to what is going on around them.

At the Old Eds race they said the music is similar to a drug, in that the rhythm can be better achieved with a beat. They even said a music box in a backpack is not allowed. Not sure if that is the official reason or they were just making it up as they go.

I think it’s been proven that listening to music increases performance
