Observera att haren alltså blev sjuk och det därför var d ingen som ville ta initiativet.

Sutume Asefa's cruel attempt to follow Ruth Chepngetich in the #chicagomarathon2024 World Record race.
There are easier ways to run a marathon in 2:17 than 64:30 + 73' .
Here is how Ruth Chepngetich split the 2024 Chicago Marathon en route to her INCREDIBLE 2:09:57 world record.
5K – 15:00

Kenya's Ruth Chepngetich is holding steady at 2:09:38 pace. She splits 1:47:32 for 35K.
She is leading the women's elite race by three and a half minutes. Sutume Kebede has crashed and now projected to finish in 2:13:58.
We're closing in on the first sub-2:10 marathon performance by a woman. Incredible.

A historic marathon barrier is broken: 100 men <2:07 during the same year.
And finally 2023 seems also to beat all the previous women's marathon years.
But let us wait for the final results (primarly from China) and doping DSQ:s.
Research based on stats from #tilastopaja
A 28:18 split between 25-35km has given Kelvin Kiptum the sole lead and he is now inside WR pace.
If he holds on, he'll be the first man to record three sub-2:02 marathons.
This is also just his third marathon.
