Mario nailed it, as always, in his weekly newsletter. You should subscribe.

“I understand the disbelief and the need to explain what many deemed impossible without some kind of assistance. But what if, at the end of the day, as Alex Hutchinson wrote for Outside, it was all Kipchoge? What if we were simply watching the greatest distance runner of all-time painting his masterpiece in real-time? What if we were witnessing the greatest feat of human endurance in history? Of course, no one can answer these questions with any real certainty—such is the nature of sports these days, sadly—but that’s what I’m choosing to believe.

Because if I can’t every once in a while, what’s the point in watching?”
