 Welcome to the second video publishing today. Oh my goodness. It's the day before the 2019 London Marathon. It's going down tomorrow morning in London, but here we go 2 a.m. Mountain time. That's right Remember we are banned from live streaming on YouTube for three months. Therefore what I've decided to do 2 a.m. Mountain time. That's my time in Colorado So that's 4 a.m. On the east coast 1 a.m. On the west coast and then in Europe It's gonna be you know obviously live for you guys when you guys are waking up on Sunday morning So basically we're gonna go live and we're gonna have a watch party and don't worry I'm not gonna film the screen of what I'm watching But we're gonna have a watch party here in the studio for the 2019 London Marathon on Facebook that's right on Facebook. So my Facebook page is down below We're just down in the description scroll down with your thumb there hit the like button on the Facebook page And then basically we're gonna go live at 2 a.m. On Sunday morning Okay, so that's really early and if you're if you're like a really early morning person on the east coast You're good And if you're a really late night owl on the west coast you're good So I think we'll have a good and then everybody in Europe. Holy smokes in Asia what time it'll in Asia It'll be it'll be in the afternoon So we're good like we'll have a good audience to to hang out with talk about the London Marathon Talk about the predictions that we're all gonna make down below in the comments here in a second and yes keyword for this vlog is Big Ben and did you know big Ben is I didn't like why do they call the tower in London? Big Ben that big tall tower the clock tower. It's actually named. I didn't know this until yesterday It's named after the 14 ton Bell that is at the top of Big Ben. How cool is that? I love it. So anyway, that is the key words Big Ben for London. I'm just so excited and let's begin on the men's side first here We go so the two big names that are being discussed right now all over the place are Elliot Kipchogi from Kenya The current world record holder for the marathon distance and Mo Farah from Great Britain Those are the two names that everyone's buzzing about the basically the big epic battle That's about to go down Mo on his home turf in London trying to oh I don't know trying to go up against the probably the greatest marathon runner of all time Let's just call the spade a spade right now, but before we tell before we break down that battle I do want to talk about a few other names. Here we go Wilson Kip saying that's right. Wilson Kip saying from Kenya has a 203 23 PR to his name 203. That's the real deal. That's amazing. And he has won New York City Tokyo and Berlin okay, and then so he has won three of the six major world marathons around the world So you've got Chicago, New York, Boston Berlin London and Tokyo so he's won three of the six so that's it. So that what does that tell me that tells me that Wilson Kip saying is Ready for the big stage. He's not afraid of a big crowd He's not afraid of the hype and he's ready shows up on game day, you know, it's like oh, man It's like that's a huge factor for any professional athlete not to Not to give in to the pressure that arrives on a big stage and listen like these marathons are a big deal There are literally like hundreds of thousands even sometimes some of the marathons millions of spectators along the course Not to mention the global audience watching live on TV. So anyway, look out for Wilson Kip saying he's yeah I I'm gonna have my eye on him very very closely, especially early in the race Okay, another name Abraham Kip tum from Kenya as well. He's got a 205 26 to his name. So pretty fast not too bad I have my eye on him as well. And then one other Tamarat Tola of Ethiopia who has a 206 17 to his his name and he's young So he's only 28. So I don't know I just I was looking through all of the names entered and I'll name a few a few others But I was looking at all the names entered and I was just like man 28 years old He doesn't have a ton of marathon experience But he burst onto the scene with a 206 and as his first marathon. So anyway, that's a pretty good introductory marathon Record and one more name. Okay. I got to mention one more Daniel Wanjiru from Kenya with a 205 21 Anyway, I've seen his name pop up a little bit in the last dad last 12 to 18 months So I'm gonna have my eye on him as well. All right, let's get into this battle between Elliot Kipchogi and Mo Farah Listen, it's like it's a lot of hype for Mo. I hope he I hope it's not too much pressure because it's on his home Home turf, but Kipchogi. I mean 201 39 versus Mo Farah's so Mo Farah has a 205 11 to his name versus Kipchogi's 201 39 that's basically four minutes a little under four minutes difference That's a ton of time. But I will say to Mo's credit that 205 11 was just six What six months ago a little over six months ago in Chicago? So I would say that's a good confidence booster for for Mo and Mo's best time at London Thus far is a 206 21 Whereas Kipchogi's best time at London is a 203 0 5 So smoking fast so again a three-minute difference between Kipchogi and Mo Farah and also just mentioned like Kipchogi's going for his fourth Win tomorrow morning in London. So he's won. He's won London three times. That's so impressive I just to be able to to be that consistent if he pulls it off again I'm just gonna like that's a that's just incredible just incredible and for my dark horse on the men's side We're going with Abraham Kip tum who has who I already mentioned who has that 205 26 to his name for his PR You know, it's it's a it's a it's a little bit of a long shot, but that's why it's a dark horse So he is my dark horse for the 2019 London Marathon Okay My dark horse Abraham Kip tum. So I'm just here on the computer It is 11 19 p.m. Heading toward midnight and I'm just double-checking triple-checking all my stats all my numbers that I'm giving to you the PRs and the predictions Abraham Kip. I'm glad I am on Twitter and just staying updated with London Marathon news has been banned Abraham Kip tum has been disqualified. He cannot run the London Marathon because they've a potential Basically, what are they calling it a hold on one second a Biological passport violation. So anyway, I'm not gonna get into the details some sort of drug doping I don't know what I don't know all the I probably nobody knows the details But Abraham Kip tum is not racing the London Marathon. That's crazy And he just broke the half marathon world record like five months ago and kind of came out of nowhere and did it So took it from my my my I like a Zerzenze to these From Eritrea Zerzenze to these was the former half marathon world record holder. Anyway, I digress craziness This is like a breaking news happening in real time. I'm glad I'm triple-checking this stuff. All right. Love you guys Roll the tape and how I kind of come up with these predictions and thoughts is basically looking at 5k 10k Half marathon PRs and when they set those PRs, all right So that's kind of my process of breaking down What have they done in the last two years three years five years and then and because what that tells me is basically Do they show up on race day? Are they do they have leg speed? So how do they do on the track because you know and how does that translate to the roads to the half in the Full let's move on to the ladies. So the two big names on the ladies side here We go Mary Catani and Vivian chariot both from Kenya those two names watch out But first let's talk about a few others Gladys Chirono of Kenya has a 218 11 to her name and it's so interesting for me as I like chased down my first marathon attempt to kind of Relate to some of these times on the ladies side. Anyway, it's just fascinating to see these times Bridget Love that name Bridget Kozgi of Kenya with a 218 35 and then Rosa Derej of Ethiopia with a 219 17 so a pretty tight pack there for I would say like that the next After Mary Catani and Vivian chariot of Kenya those next three names are probably gonna be near the top Of this race. I'm also excited for for an American on the men's side like they're like it's I don't know What's going on? But there's basically no men on the men's side for the United States going I shouldn't listen There are a couple but no names that I actually even recognize so but on the ladies side. I'm excited for Molly huddle That's right. She has a 226 to her name Molly huddle She's she's been doing really well at the 5k 10k distance, but she I feel like 226 for her for the marathon for her PR is untapped I wouldn't be surprised if we see a pretty big drop in her PR time tomorrow morning in London Molly huddle Look out for that name. I'm just gonna say it I'm going with like a 222. That's kind of a big jump. I'm going with 222 I wouldn't be shocked if she can drop her time by that much In London tomorrow, so look out for Molly huddle on from the US. Okay, Mary Kitani of Kenya. Here we go She is going for her fourth win at London. That's amazing So kind of like a Kitchogi on the men's side. She is going for her fourth win that would tie another I don't remember her name, but that would tie another lady for four wins at London. That's awesome And she ran a 2701 two years ago at London 2701 so definitely a she's got a really fast time on this course So that's impressive Ian okay one more on Mary Katani of Kenya. She's got a 105 50 for her half marathon to her name That's blazing 105 50 is moving. So so that means she's she's got good speed now I think oh gosh, I don't know when she set that half marathon time, but I'll try and find it and post it now So anyway, that's when she set her half marathon time We shall see but look out for Vivian chariot last year's 2018 London Marathon champion who's also from Kenya. She was the gold. So here's where I'm here's where I'm at This is where breaking down the speed. She was the gold medalist in the 5k at the Rio Olympics in 2016 not the 10k, but the 5k that tells me she is still fast even though that was gosh three years ago But that's like to us to win the 5k in the gold medal At the Rio Olympics and now be pounding the ground on the pavement in the marathon She's guy. I mean, I'm just gonna say if I had to pick one right now I would go with Vivian over Mary there. I said it. I said it Vivian over Mary for the win tomorrow morning at the London Marathon. I'm gonna go with a 217 high 217 high for Vivian tomorrow for for the win and on the men's side I'm gonna make my prediction right now. Here we go Kipchogi 202 45 202 45 he breaks his old time by about 20 seconds 202 45 Kipchogi for the win I don't even think I think second place is 90 seconds back. All right I'm gonna say which is fast really fast So Kipchogi for the win and for the women's dark horse. Here we go Yuki Ando That's right Yuki Ando of Japan who has a 220 wonder her name. We shall see. I don't know that's my dark horse on the ladies side and Question of the day who you got who's winning this race? And if you want to like make it make a bold prediction go out there go on a limb You know me. I'm I'm going Kipchogi. I think it's a safe bet, but also a time prediction. Oh, man, maybe I Don't want to get in trouble, but maybe someday we can have a little contest for who gets the closest time For the men and ladies winner. I don't want to get into any sort of betting But you know what it'd be fun to do a little contest at some point.
