The article mentions, he is going to run the marathon, looking forward to what he can do in that distance. I feel it's only a matter of time until someone breaks the 2 hour barrier in an official race. Lot of people thought it would be Kelvin Kiptum, unfortunately he passed away in an accident.

I thought you were talking about Wanjiru at first. Who knows how fast he might have gone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Wanjiru
Without a doubt Kiptum would have done it. It will be an absolutely insane achievement, but as you say, it is only a matter of time. No pun intended.
His death was so tragic. I believe his coach also died in the car accident.
