The unparalleled Eliud Kipchoge tops the marathon rankings yet again.

2018 was the best year in the history of the women's marathoning. Coming into the year, only five women in history had ever broken 2:19 but six different women did it 2019.  Plus 11 times a woman broke 2:20 in 2018, the most in history.

Beatrice Chepkoech put up the greatest season in the history of the women's steeplechase while Emma Coburn held on to her #1 US ranking despite losing her American record to Courtney Frerichs.

While handing out our steeple rankings, we take a detour and give out some free advice to Evan Jager.

Sifan Hassan had a fantastic year but Hellen Obiri's year was just a little bit better as she won both the DL final and the fastest race of the year (Rabat) over Hassan. Meanwhile, American Shelby Houlihan was the 8th fastest woman in the world this year.
