Thanks. Those post half splits are not encouraging. Looks like she’s slowing quite a bit
Degefa runs just like Tirunesh Dibaba. It’s crazy. Her arm carriage is slightly different, but damn it’s an exact build and form. Even when she blows out mucus.
I have never heard of her before this race. She looks like she has sub 2:18 ability.
Desi is such a mental runner, so many Jedi kind tricks when she runs. She likes to fade in and fade out, making people think that she is out of it. She is probably just focusing on top 10 right now.
Ritz hiding in the back as well in the men’s group . And Jared looks smooth.
Hasay looks in form and ready to blaze. I think Molly would have killed this field had she raced with the form that she is in. The day is perfect.
Degefa has LOST some of her lead for the first time. Between 30k (18.6 miles) and 20 miles she lost 5 seconds. Her lead is 2:54.
She can lost 29 seconds a mile the rest of the way in so they'll have to do better than that.
Degefa is turning in a Worknesh-like performance.
They said Jimmy Johnson is at a 6:55 pace and has been running 70-100 miles a week. Is that right?
flanagan sais lins top 3 check early post i predicted lins not top 3 ,i got ti ,i m ex eleite marathon runner/coach technicien i got it ,better than flanagan
The american men are so much bigger than most everyone else in the front pack
That kind of lead could evaporate in a mile or two...you know things get crazy late in marathons.
You are hearing it first her. Jordan Hasay is going to be the surprise champion.
Asafa, Kiplagat and Hasay broke away from chase pack while at least 18 men still in lead pack
Leading women at 20 miles

Desi won't make the Olympic team
Instead of showing the rac, they are now showing a replay of the wheelchair races onNBC gold. My god. What a joke.

Yeah, she has to blow up for them to win. I love how Degefa went way ahead but have no idea why anyone would do that. From a tactical standpoint, if it's too easy, just wait. Look at Kirui. He looks like a beast but he's learned from last year and is waiting. Kiplagat looks great though.
Looks like Jordan will be doing well to get 4th. Racing has begun.
2:45 lead at 21 miles (9 seconds closer)
Kipligat strings the 3 of them out. Defega still 2:44 massive lead but we'll see....

What???
BAA app leaderboards have crashed. No updates available.
Ritz is still in the mix?!
Wow this is a fast move from Edna Kiplagat. Why did she wait so freaking long?
