totally forgot.. the best thing that happened this weekend, an unofficial WR by Brigid Kosgei @ the Great North Run: 64:28 (1:04:28). Shattered the official WR by 21s? Unofficial because the Great North Run isn't WR eligible (point to point race).

man she was flying..

did it entirely on her own too. unreal.

I think that's 4:55 min/mi pace? :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf: :ibrunning:

COPENHAGEN HALF MARATHON 2019-09-15 !!

This is always one of the fastest half marathons.

Kamworor plans to try and break the course record (58:40).

I downloaded the "cphhalf" app, apparently it has several video streams on it.. plan to try and watch it. Always one of my favorite races to watch.

kamworor also "designed" a shoe for this year's race, looks pretty slick, love the colors he picked:

New WR from Kamworor! 58:01!

was hoping not to get spoiled....... but first search on YT, spoiled.

INSANE.

dude almost went under 58, that is incredible.

Being that he's one of Eliud's top training partners, it makes this even more significant. Eliud is going to go under 2.

can't wait to watch the full race.

man I knew i should have stayed up for it :<

He claimed in an interview that he wanted to break the WR. Knew this was a possibility. But 58:15 or whatever it was before, that's some serious stuff.. And here he drops 58:01.

~4:25 min/mi /// 2:45 min/km :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

the clip that spoiled me:

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbLMO1KhjyE" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbLMO1KhjyE</a>

that is so alien.

and he ran the thing mostly alone.. seeing this alot lately. incredible.

can't wait for the full footage. Copenhagen Half is always my favorite half marathon footage. I think i've posted a few in the "full race footage thread". Will post it there once it's up.

better footage of the finish:

damn DOHA is brutal for distance running. it's like 105F+ there for the women's marathon, something like that.

so many women dropping out of it as the race goes on.

bunch of kenyans up front tho battling it out.
