Fighto Kawauchi-san! Ganbare!!
Fighto Kawauchi-san! Ganbare!!
This is fantastic for US Women's Running. Linden with the upset!!
This was race was built for Desi and Kirui.
they both have similar body types. strong quads, train in the hills, mentally and physical tough.
The right runners won this race.
as far as Desi goes, I think she just paced herself/conserved energy/ran the smartest race.
Kirui is just a beast.

I've heard Larry Rawson call both Kawauchi and Kirui "Kiruchi"
I think it's "Corroccio" or something like that.
KAWAUCHI REELING KIRUI IN!
YUKI CLOSING ON KIRUI
Desi is digging way deep.
Solid black Hyperion's.
How far to go??????
Yuki seems to be right there, mens race far from over.
HOLY COW HERE COMES YUKI
Kawauchi only 30s behind Kirui!
KAWAUCHI FOR THE WIN LETS GO BOYS!
How come the women are like 15 mins slower than usual, whereas the men are barely 5 minutes off normal times?
OMG YUKI GOING TO WIN!?
Rojo or Wejo; which one said they'd close the site down in this thread if Desi and Yuki both win!?

Chesir catches Daska at 21 miles, but she doesn’t go right by. They’re actually running on opposite sides of the road. Linden still about 20 meters behind. Daska not running the tangent but now she cuts in. Daska fading. Chesir now into the front, Desi closing the gap though as Daska is off the back in third.

Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
Am I living in the twilight zone? The Boston Marathon weather was terrible!
How rare is it to run a sub 5 minute mile AND bench press 225?
Move over Mark Coogan, Rojo and John Kellogg share their 3 favorite mile workouts
Mark Coogan says that if you could only do 3 workouts as a 1500m runner you should do these
Red Bull (who sponsors Mondo) calls Mondo the pole vaulting Usain Bolt. Is that a fair comparison?
