Kipchoge is a very small man and that will help with thermal regulation because the surface area of volume ratio will be high. So he's able to, his efficiency doesn't decline over time, that sort of thing. His ability to kind of resist fatigue as things go on is quite high. I think one of the places my original model was wrong is some of these guys can sustain 90, 92, 93% of their VO2 max as opposed to 85%. The lactate threshold levels are a little bit higher.
