Yes. Hurley ran a PR 8:51 in January in Boston and took second in the Gate River Run to Emily Sisson in 50:04.

Didn’t Greg Meyer run 46:00 for 10 miles back in the day? Must be course record not AR that Bor beat?
Meyer's 46:13 was the 'record' that was supposedly beat today. When Greg set it in '83 it was also the WR.

Unfortunately that's only partially true Alan. Greg did run that time, but another Michigan runner ran faster. His name is Herb Lindsay. I'll let you do the research. Herb resides in Michigan still and he did run faster.

10-mile American Record for Hillary Bor in 46:11…. Beating the previous record that stood for FORTY years!
Did he though?
Rupp hit 45:54 en route to his 60:23 Half in 2020.
Was that not ever ratified?
Alan
Rupp on a rails to trails suburban exercise path. Yeah I’m not believing that time … totally legit.. lol.

46:00 - NYC Central Park 1980 ; possibly short. Great runner.

Herb killed it in race after race after race. I've heard the short rumors. Nothing personal, but you can believe them, but I don't.

Yep saw his time on the World Athletics site.
Why then was Meyer's time mentioned as the AR?
Lindsay still has the record.

WA may still report a time even if it’s not submitted for certification as a national record. Although they apparently won’t report 10-mile splits in half marathons.

Per Hilary Bor ran a 46:06 in Minneapolis in 2022. So, his 46:11 performance, which is outstanding, is NOT his personal best. 46:06 is.10

Good call mate!!!! This poster is correct, Lindsay has the record. Herb was a beast beating Viren and everyone else at the Midland 15k.

Correct sir! I’m surprised only one poster knew what Herb Lindsay did whether he’s from Reed City or not (Herb’s hometown).
Isn’t Alan an older guy? I’m not from Michigan but even I knew that:):):). Yeah, I feel smart and informed and I’m only 26!

Wasn't aided by tailwind either, it was a slight headwind. And then he ran just over 43:00 at the 15k a few weeks ago on a warm humid day, American record is high 42 so he wasn't completely far off that one. He is running incredibly well this year, and is still planning to focus steeple this track season. He could pop off some good steeple races this year if he is running PRs on the track as well.

It is very interesting to click on the live results to the right and see the age group distribution. It is like a perfect curve seeing the leaders paces slow with age. It is sort of a wake up call for those of us that mistakenly believe from time to time that we can hit or paces of yesteryear if we just train a bit more.
We can't outrace father time.
And then you look at what Sara Hall is doing. (She turns 40 in 2 weeks).
She ran faster than anyone male or female age 39+. (Definitely an outlier on that curve!)
