EMMA STOP FRONTRUNNING!!!
Incredibly stupid for her to be out front. And what is on her arm?
I didn’t see the images, but she’s sponsored by Coros and has been using the Coros HR monitor during training, which is worn on the upper arm. Is that what you’re seeing?

I can't believe the broadcast. Lemma is making a HUGE move to drop the men's field and all the broadcast is showing is Hannah Storm at the finish and a Meb retrospective. Why have the rights if you are not willing to tell the story of the race?
Now they’re talking to running expert, Rob Gronkowski. Someone shoot me now

Marathon coverage for the Good Morning America audience.

Ten minutes and counting since ESPN has shown anything other than the wheelchair races. But hey, at least we get to hear from Gronk, for some reason.

5k in 14:21. In record breaking year they hit 5k in 14:47 but had a huge tailwind.
Sisay Lemma, who has the fastest pb in the filed, is now 50+ meters in front. Zouhair Talbi is chasing him and then there is a gap to the main pack.
Can’t believe Talbi is in second on his own. The chase pack is already moving, is he that set on winning??

Things are happening in both men's and women's races, and we get Gronk.

Lemma is not hanging about. Perhaps he’s not respecting the course as he should?

Last year's coverage was great for the elite races, I agree this year so far hasn't been as great. That said, none of the pro races this year are all that exciting. For the men, will Evans Chebet three-peat. Women, will Obiri win? How will Emma Bates do? Otherwise, that's about it. The wheelchair fields the people expected to win it by a large margin are about to.
Anyway, yawn.
WTF are you talking about. Last year all they showed was the wheel chair races.

Ah yes, gronk, the expert in marathon running and I must hear his perspective on this years front runners.

Almost as bad as Flotrack
28:28 for lemma at 10k

Wow, coverage is rough. Would it kill them to do a split screen or two. Maybe show the races so I don't have to listen to Gronk make jokes that are only funny or clever to the lowest common denominator.

Its very aggressive, 2:00:06 pace through 10k, he's picked it up

Rojo complaining? I’m shocked.
I'm enjoying some Gronk.
I believe they finally have one broadcast for the whole country and Boston so this makes sense. I'm fine with human interest but would just like for the basics about the elite race.
But I've never understood how they can do a broadcast without basic stats.
Like they just show the first 5k is 16:36. The average person has no idea what that means. So the split and the pace.Show us mile by mile splits in the corner.

It blows my mind that they are 2 miles in and we don't even see the men running nor have we gotten a single mile split.. From the press room.
4:32 first mile for Yuma Morii. He is swallowed up by pac
4:48 (9:19 at 2 miles)It blows my mind that there are still expectations that these broadcasts are going to show what we want to see. Rojo, you guys should spend some time and energy finding ways to improve these broadcasts.
Nobody would listen to them. Anyway, this is how US media does it. There's no incentive to change.

I love watching wheelchair racing! It’s so competitive and has so many similarities to Running.
