great job, scott! wrote:
congratulations to scott fauble. 2:09 in boston is just excellent for a runner with a pb in the halfmarathon of 63 mins, according to his website. i like his training log, consistent about 90 miles, doubles all the way. nice.
Scott ran 62:18 last year in the Great North run. The course is point to point so doesn't qualify for official times but is slower than those flat halfs in Dubai, Holland and Spain.
Hoka made a 4% clone.
Saucony made a 4% clone protoype for Ward at 2018 NYC.
Could not agree more. Scorpion is a complete douche. Please grow up someday, and god forbid you have any daughters.

Desisa no doubt a great athlete and very consistent. He has won Boston 2 times and to come so close to winning a third crown can be very frustrating. I don't blame him for thinking he had it in the bag. Cherono normally winds things early but the fact that Desisa was still on his back that late in the race gave Desisa abelieve he would win. But then again Cherono is a 2:03 marathoner right now. Congrats to Cherono and hats off to Desisa.
How good could Desisa be if he actually takes care of swaying his shoulders? Seems like he waste a lot of energ that way, and doing that over 26.2 miles really add up.
Did Desisa intentionally try to get in front of Cherono at the end? If that wasn’t enough, it looks like he also threw out his arm to block Cherono? Seems a little unsportsmanlike conduct.
He has prior in using those tactics, annoyed kipsang a few years back in New York too. Backfired as Kippy shouted at him and left him in the dust straight away
Not 100% sure but I think it was more of a crosswind or a very weak tailwind.

Great result for Fauble and Ward. The ran at their maximum on a big day. Yes this shows that breaking 2:10 for U.S.men is very possible.
This was shown over 40 years ago.

That finish deserves a front page.
It does. Beautiful shots here for them to use. Why wasn’t the TV camera guy at the same spot?

My friend said Ritz was going to be the top American and Fauble was going to run like a$$ LMAO
Wow, like, thanks for posting this dude.
I don't remember LR, or anyone else, mentioning Lindsay Flanagan before the race. Maybe a stupid question, but any relation to Shalane or Ben?
No. She has been on the marathon circuit for a while. Got a silver at Pan Ams a few years ago. Did worlds in 2017. Went to UW.

Jordan needs a speech coach. It’s so unnatural and Saturday night live’ish.
As soon as she starts talking, you want her to stop.
Really??? Are you gay or something? (Not that there's anything wrong with that). How about her hair? No comment there? You pissed she cut 7 inches off? Are her teeth too white for you? Too big? Too small?
Yeah, Scorpion, we're all waiting for your commentary on how Jordan should improve herself....well, besides being 1st American and a leading candidate for the OT. You keen insights are desperately needed by everyone in this thread...because we just don't know what to think about Jordan.
Had to change classes while the race was ending and lost connection so I missed the legendary finish. Unbelievably pissed. Is there a video of it anywhere??
Joan Benoit Samuelson: 3:04:00
She wanted to be within 40 minutes of her win from 40 years ago, which was in 2:35:15.
Nice job, Joanie!

I missed the whole thing this time, but I am stoked about Fauble and Ward running 2:09. That is the first sign of progress we have had from anyone other than Rupp in a decade. Maybe this is an artifact of the shoes (assuming they were wearing the 4s), but in any case no one else in this country other than Rupp was doing anything with the cheater shoes, so huge props to them. No reason in the world that we shouldn't have multiple guys sub 2:10 every year with the level of talent we have at 5, 10, and half.
you realize Scott is using carbon rockets and Jared is using whatever unnamed creation Saucony has yet to give Molly Huddle
Jared just ran two minutes faster than his lifetime PR, frontrunning into headwind
If Noah Droddy has had the Saucony 4%ers since at least NYC half, I’m sure Huddle has them too.
Awesome..so proud of her..we old timers remember LA 1984 and her other great achievements!!
Excellent run by Lindsay Flanagan!
So, you can't post anything on letsrun about Jordan cheeks or Ritzenhein weight.
Many media outlets are having a hard time getting the margin of victory right -- it's two one hundredths, not two tenths, according to the unofficial results board. https://boston-iframe.r.mikatiming.net/2019/?pid=leaderboard
