At 30k Lemma's lead is EVEN BIGGER. It's now nearly 3 minutes as he's 2:49 now up. He was 2:21 ahead 25k.
That 5k was 15:12 (and included 2.5 miles of uphill running) and the slowest of the race by far.
Here are Lemma's 5k splits so far:
14:21, 14:07, 14:15, 14:30, 14:31, 15:12
But his lead is even bigger.
After 21 it's downhill to the finish. Barring disaster he's got this.

He actually opened the gap a lot there. 15:40 for the chase pack. The race for 1st is over it would seem. The race for the course record, still on.
It ain't over till it's over.

Des running the tangents, taking the lead. #momentum
Running the tangents is one of those things you learn in 8th-grade cross country and every pro seems to forget over the years and years of track running. Makes a difference over 26.2, no doubt about it.

So is Lemma really going to pull this off?
An incredible run so far

He ran 18 which is almost another 50 feet uphill in 4:58 and 19 in 4:54 (that's downhill). 20 and 21 are big uphills. 21 is the most uphill of any mile and then after that it's all downhilll.

Des in the lead. Would love to know what she is shouting across to Emma.

The Mile 17 > 18 split is the real gut check for elites. 16>17 is long (1/2 mile hill) but it is not particularly steep and it's the first of the hills that follows a half mile steep drop. 17>18 is a quarter mile long hill that is steep and really the gut check for all who run today. If he holds a hard line up that, then he maybe can try to catch Lemma (assuming Lemma hits a wall).

But my god this coverage is bad. No concept of the hills. He's slowing down. Are the guys behind him slowing down? Pathetic.

I'm where I can't watch and I'll tell you- THIS coverage is excellent! It's exciting and the constant updates are awesome. Thank you all!

How hard is it to get a former elite athlete who has ran Boston before to commentate?
