Official 2025 Houston Half & Full Live Discussion Thread

Maybe they're targeting 60 to negative split it? Pace up front is 59:10

They're getting a lot of the tailwind in the first 5k & 10k. We'll see what happens after that.

I see everything running related in comparison to myself. Faster than me is fast, slower than me is slow, and that bleeds into things like what's an accomplishment. It's stupid, but very much what I tend towards.

I’m surprised Mantz isn’t just tucking behind the pacer. He keeps running wide of him…. Ugh…

Arm sleeves coming off for Mantz...

Mantz just removed his arm sleeves. It's getting serious now!

Manta just tossed the arm warmers. Show time. 💪

Not everything is about you. In fact most things aren’t

How can klecker have no shame, talked all that smack throughout the week, citius even made a two episode series glazing him and he's almost 20s off the lead pack and Mantz. What happened to fighting for the win

ok based and true

Weini Kelati looks SOOOO smooth! (On a side note, as of 5k, Taylor Roe is in 5th in her debut!).

Maybe his positioning depends on local wind conditions.

"We just saw the men's lead group, and here come the women's leader, but I want to show you these spectators in dog costumes . . ."

That's the super tailwind section - after 10K will change.

Mantz is chomping at the bit...it looked like a couple strides took him in front of the pacer. He must be feeling it. Let's see if he holds it.

Where are all these USA men gunning for the AR? Mantz only one of the many.

22:30 at five miles if the clock is correct

Looks like the Pacer dropped off a little before 10K at 25 minutes

The ESPN+ coverage is a joke. I cannot believe I pay for this sh+t!
