RunBlogRun opines: Dennis Kimetto is the world record holder. Running world records takes alot out of the athlete. I am not sure if many athletes can come back from such a strain on the body. Wilson Kipsang has come pretty darn close. Dennis Kimetto has had injury problems and he fell during training for 2017 Boston. We hope to see him in either a late Spring race or Fall race.
