2:28 pace for women after 15km?????

They put up the wrong marathon PR for CJ Albertson. I guess his 2:08 in Chicago didn't happen.

The women are going faster now. They're on 2:27 pace after 15 km. They did 34:21 on the last 10 km (that's 2:24 pace) after a slow start.

Chebet tired of the slow pace and starting to pick it up.

i literally can't believe how much wheelchair there is. I'm watching on Disocvery from the UK - I've been back and forth over last 20 minutes but honestly they're showing more wheelchair than running. I know it's a cliche to complain about it here, but this is infuriating

Men’s lead pack is now gigantic…

I hope they start showing more of the wheelchair races. The men and women (running) races are simply terrible.

Every year we astonish how bad the coverage is. Ads, stupid interviews and wheelchair racing but the 2 main races nowhere to be seen. No wonder nobody in the world watches this sport.

This is what happens when there are no pacers - can't have it both ways.

At least the wheelchair race is close.

31:27 at 10 km for the men (2:13 pace).

2:12 pace for the men after 10k. They are flying now

I want to know the location of every burrito truck on the route.

Not sure who this new Irish announcer is but get that guy some WATER!!!

It's always a crapshoot sub 2:05 last year was pretty damned fast and Tola ran very strong during the Olympics where there's no pacemakers either. 18 min first 5k for the women is ridiculous tho.

Lol the announcer at the end of the men's wheelchair race just suddenly turned on this "LOOK AT THAT WINGSPAN THIS SO AMAZING AHHHHH" for just the last 15 seconds and then went back to being calm. Gotta get that soundbite for the finish on YouTube that no one will watch.

Mantz looks.........well we don't know because ABC/ESPN has spent the last half hour showing the f**cking wheelchair race. Disgraceful.

Let's the wheelchair races with a 10 car rally raid with dune buggies

Waitz and Kristiansen ran 2:25 in the 1980s.
