I'm not doubting he's exceptional but sometimes you need a little push and it's often hard to tell in a race if you are close to a record whether that's the course record or a personal PB, unless you are doing so much better.
Looking at Scottish Hill Runners his last two times have been within 5 minutes of Kenny Stuart's record or very approximately 5%. That's quite a bit to make up though not outside the bounds of possibility. Should be interesting.
