Break is happening in men's race right now. Kipsang and Ghebreslassie pushing it, and only five guys going with them: Meb, Kamworor, Tadesse, Berhanu and I think one other (men's feed has totally frozen so we have no idea what's going on.
Of course it would happen - just in time for a commercial.
Commercial on both streams too! Perfect timing!
What just happened there at the women's elite bottle station?
Ugh yup missed it due to the commercial
looks like Ward and Abdi have dropped from lead pack

Dibaba withdrew days ago with an injury.
ahhh wish i would have known this before picking her for podium in the contest. might still get the men’s top 3 though
Everybody "looks good" 10 miles into a marathon, means nothing at this point

My twitter feed says that Edna Kipligat accidentally tripped Keitany but Keitany didn't actually fall down all the way.
4:53 8th mile and lead pack is now 8. Meb is only American in lead pack.
Kamworor, Ghebrselassie, MEb, Kipsang, Fikadu Tegeri, Lelisa Desisa, Tadesse Abraham, Lemi Berhanu.
Koen Naert was 10 seconds back an dthen 8 more seconds to Biwott
Women hit the half in 1:16:18

Neither stream showed the break, but at least Eurosport is showing the men right now.
If Flanagan's issue is leg strength, rather than aerobics, then she should have shortened up her stride (and increased her cadence) a skosh. Compare Flanagan's longer 'power stride' (and cadence) versus leader Keitany's faster cadence.

just getting tired of this snail pace?why dont they simply go faster?
Here are some all-purpose answers to this question:
1. Some of them can't run faster.
2. Some don't want to run faster.
3 some of them don't have to run faster to earn their $$.
Ps. They don't care if everyone watching is bored.

I think Meb is just trying to stay with the leaders as long as possible to please the crowd.
14 women in lead pack. Men's lead pack is 8. Gheb, Kipsang, Abraham, Kam, Meb, Desisa, Berhanu, #448.
Anybody know who is in the men's chase pack?

That is a cautious pace.
Keitany ran the Great North Run half marathon two months ago in 1:05:59. So this first half is 45 sec/mile slower.

My ABC feed just went off. Showing some "Eyewitness News" screen. Tried refreshing. I guess it's Eurosport from now on.

Did not take much at that pace overall to reduce the leaders to 8. Can you give us a good idea about the weather conditions? How humid is it?
