Official Chicago Marathon 2023 Discussion Thread

This broadcast has more glitches than a HS media class

Mateiko back a minute but still just under 2:02 pace if he can hold it together

Kiptum is FLYING… I’m going to say 2:00:27

With proper pacers he can break 2 in a real race

And he keeps pushing !

Whoops my brain ain’t working that well yet lol. 13:51 still crazy

4:16, that was 4:16! - Diego

Are Kiptum and Hassan wearing the magic $500 shoes? What about Rupp, Mantz, etc?

Also if the 4:16 mile just called out is correct… that’s the fastest mile ever ran in a marathon, correct?

Hahaha chasing slow times five minutes behind the leaders is not a race, it is time-trialing. And poorly.

Further, many Kenyans give much better interviews than Rupp ever did.

Molly continues to stay on 2:21 pace, closing 18 seconds on Emma Bates between 25k and 30k.

No person is limited

WR looks locked, he's picking up the cadence

Sub-2 will be nearly impossible though, requires 2:43ish k's from here on out

Kiptum is officially out of control!!!

Sisson now a minute ahead of Bates. Seidel might catch her for second American

Is ON Running the greatest team in the world?

Where do you see that ?

he would be the second person to break 2 , mark my words!
