"One year is not a long time," Bekele, 37, a three-time Olympic champion, albeit on the track, told the Olympic Channel regarding the Games postponement to July 2021.
"I hope I can stay in good shape, disciplined, because one year is just tomorrow. The most important thing is to stay healthy and stay fit."
Bekele, who has overcome an Achilles tendon injury, believes he can shave more than a minute off his personal best, and even lower the official world record to less than two hours.
The current mark of 2:01.39 was set by Kipchoge in Berlin in 2018.
Only Kipchoge has run under two hours, albeit in closed conditions and with aids, at the Vienna course back in October, where he posted a time of 1:59.40.
"I'm sure, it's possible to run that time [two hours]," Bekele told the Olympic Channel.
"I can run maybe faster than the world record, maybe close to two hours or something. It's down to the weather conditions and a good course."
