Official Valencia Half Marathon thread

57:30 according to the official website.

Cannot think of a more deserving runner these last 5 years.

Strange. It means the splits/estimations during the feed were pretty far off.

Or he slowed down at the end

Ngetich just off, looks like 63 flat unofficially, still by far the second fastest time in history

Slowed down 11 seconds in one kilometer? Give me a break.

Sheesh man, I've been a fan of Kejelcha since I was in High School in 2017. Amazing to see how far he has gone and his range!

3:47 Indoor Mile WR

7:23.64 3000m

12:38.95 5000m

26:31.01 10,000m

57:30 Half Marathon

His 3000m/5K/10K were all within the past year!

Which makes his Half Marathon even more impressive.

Who is Kejelcha's coach and do we have anything on his training?
I used to watch him get 2nd places and some first at 5k, 10k, really happy to see him get a world record in the half!

Agnes Ngetich went through 10K in 29:18, which is insane. On the track, only 5 women have run faster than that. the American Record, by comparison , is 30:03.8.

Ngetich simply went out too fast. Could have had the record today.

Koko is back!!
