Kenya's Hellen Obiri uses blistering 15:06 5k split from 35-40k to win 2024 Boston Marathon in 2:22:37. First woman to repeat in Boston since 2005. That win should cement Obiri's spot on the Kenyan Olympic team...and she'll be hard to beat in Paris. letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

Vote James Beam, St. Mary's, he ran a 4:24 1600 (14 second PR!) This past weekend to become the faster miler in 2A by 5 seconds. Colorado Boys Performer Of The Week (May 6 - May 11) co.milesplit.com/articles/34792…

Dear Ed Eyestone (BYU), THANK YOU for taking a 9:20 3200 meter HS kid and developing into a silver medalist. These days, colleges won’t look at you unless you’re under 9:00. Hopefully, that can change. ED certainly changed Kenneth, didn’t he….

Don’t remember a marathon I’ve been this excited for! Staying up to watch it. Go USA!

We're at the portion of the course where Conner Mantz and Clayton Young have both previewed. Here's a look at one of their preview runs from Young's Strava on Aug. 3 #Paris2024

Request for tomorrow's women's marathon coverage: fewer slo-mo replays. Especially of unidentified runners' legs.

It's fairly frustrating that we literally have the alternate in Paris and this happened.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen has just taken a blowtorch to the longest-standing distance world record on the books. He runs 7:17.55 in Chorzow, Poland, to take more than 3 seconds off of Daniel Komen's legendary 7:20.67 WR for 3000m. What. A. Run. letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

One of distance running's greatest barriers has fallen. Kenya's Ruth Chepngetich runs 2:09:57 at the Chicago Marathon take almost two minutes off the world record and become the first woman under 2:10. letsrun.com/forum/flat_rea…

Alright, I we don't have our best runners at chiacago, but idk how much closer our best is (maybe 2 minutes?), but it's kinda embarrassing that the top American woman was 12 minutes (over 2 miles) back of the winner.

BYU wins nationals and immediately reloads.

🚨 WRITE IT IN THE RECORD BOOKS 🚨 UNC Track & Field • XC's Ethan Strand becomes the third-fastest performer EVER in the WORLD in the indoor mile, clocking 3:48.32 to win the BU Terrier Classic. #BUTerrierClassic

D2 3rd place XC (Romain Legendre) just beat the D1 runner up over 5k (Habtom Samuel). Takes 22 seconds off the D2 record.

I love the MO from Grant Fisher today. He didn't put himself in the best position to win, he put himself in the hardest position to win and won. He knew what his weakness was (and why he didn't win Paris) and allowed the race to unfold in manner to test that weakness.

I don't understand why they choose to schedule the Saturday during the final four. If you want to grow the sport, it shouldn't conflict with a major sporting event, especially when it was easily avoidable.

At some point people are going to have to apologize for the slander they uttered at people who questioned whether she was clean.

Texas 6A 100 championship is about even with an Olympic quarterfinal.
