Don't be shocked. Too many U.S. Marathoners log their miles then do: 10 x 800m at Marathon race pace or (5 or 6) x one mile at Marathon race pace or 3 x 2 mile at Marathon race pace once or twice per month and think they have done something. Obviously the young lady is doing (6 to 8) x 800m at 3000m race pace once or twice per mile the last three months before Marathon.

She is the female equivalent of Eliud Kipchoge in my opinion and will most likely be the first person to run a sub 2:10.
Ethiopia has a gem in Yehualaw. She is super talented and could just as well win Paris 2024.
I think we may be getting a bit carried away here. Sub-2:10? That will never happen in my lifetime unless everyone is forced to race in wheelchairs as the world triples down on woke-insanity.
Equivalent to Kipchoge? Kipchoge was a world champion on the track before moving to the marathon. Y2 didn't make the Ethiopian team in teh 10,000 this year. To counteract that though, she is much younger when she moved to the marathon.
What was the best marathon split by a woman before today?
Kipchoge also failed to qualify for the Kenyan team in the 10000m Olympics in 2012. Perhaps the greatest failure, which led him to be the greatest marathoner.

Interestingly, her fastest mile in a marathon is only 6 secs slower than Athing Mu's best for the distance. So 26 times further than Mu and only a fraction slower than the best of the md runner over just 1 mile. But nothing to see here. Mu is just a hobby jogger.

In the English language, we don't use the word "girl" for women over the age of 16, because its creepy.
Would you call a 23 year old man a "boy"?

I see 1 thumbs down from you Mr Kenya.
You hate us but we have no hate for you. That is the difference between Ethiopians and Kenyans.
Don't hate.
The problem you seem to have is a genocidal hate for your own people instead

We merged two threads on the 4:43 split into 1 thread. The 2nd thread was titled, "Ethiopian girl runs 4:43 split late in London marathon - WOW just WOW"

Glad that the "girl" thread went away. She is 23 years old. She's a woman, not a girl.

Don't be silly rojo. Of course it will happen in your lifetime.

That’s unbelievable. Said another way, I don’t believe it’s legit. This would be like seeing Kipchoge split a 4:02-4:05 for the mile late in the race. I don’t for a second believe that this is legit. In fact I would go so far to say that it’s nearly insulting to suggest that this was achieved by a clean athlete. For me to believe this I would have to see two things.
1) historically what are the splits for this section of the marathon for both men and women.
2) what is the slope of this section of the race.
Who knows I could be wrong, but this feels super phony.

PEDs. Easy to not get caught too. Think about this: someone comes out of nowhere to blow away the all-time competition which includes many dopers and they miraculously did it cleanly? Time to wake up.

The mile markers in London aren't accurate. Or they weren't when I raced London a few times.

Of course the Olympic 800m champion is not a hobby jogger but only 6 secs faster over a mile than a Kenyan running 26 miles - I wonder what it takes for fans to question this kind of performance? As one poster said - it's like Kipchoge dropping a 4.05.

While I think you're comparison to Kipchoge running 4:02-4:05 for the mile is incorrect (4:43 is 31 secconds off the women's WR, 4:02 is 19 seconds off the men's WR), you are correct in that it wasn't legit. See this story we published earlier today.

Was just about to say this. More like dropping a 4:15 on the men’s side.
