Listen to the Chicago Marathon on the Radio via the web!

Who needs BBC or runnersworld when we get the fastest and most up to date info right here on Letsrun??

Nice updates LTD.....keep'em coming :-p

TAKAOKA HAS ABOUT DOUBLE THAT DISTANCE FROM SEEN IN THE PICTURE ABOVE.

takaoka runs the last mile in 4.40 and doesn't drop a soul; they are going to gobble him up; absolutely no tv coverage of the other americans who are running well; come on nbc promote our sport;

radcliffe and wejo cruising; impressive OT Qualifier Wejo!

Don't drop out.

paula has a 22 second lead running the last mile in just over five and on 2:17.10 pace.

No chance in hell Wejo leaves Paula. Well I mean no chance in hell he leaves to go in front of her.

He's there to assist her and keep harm out of her way.

I know he's trying to go 20 with her. I didn't even ask him if he'd consider finishing as he seemed worried enough about making 20. I told him if I could make 16 he certainly could do 20.

If I had to think about it, I assume he'll go as long as he feels good.

tak has a :13 lead on the el mo and the rest of the pack

what kind of speed does the japanese runner have?

PAULA'S STARTING TO HIT A SMALL WALL. THE GUYS HAVE CAUGHT BACK UP TO HER AND ARE TRYING TO SPUR HER ON. SHE'S GOT 22" ON THE NEXT GIRL.

WEJO ALMOST LOOKS LIKE HE'S SLOWING DOWN FOR HER...HE SHOULD JUST CRUISE.

TAKAOKA IS 13" AHEAD NOW. HE LOOKS GREAT WITH ONLY 4+ MILES TO GO. THE OTHERS ARE CLOSE TOGETHER.

according to the announcers tak has decent speed but it looks like he is hurting to me. the pack is still 60 meters or so back at somewhere around 22 miles.

should he make a move with about 3 to go?

TAKAOKA CAME IN 7TH IN THE OLYMPIC (OR WC) 10K TRACK FINAL. SO HE'S GOT ENOUGH SPEED.

HE IS GOING TO WIN (4 MILES TO GO). HE IS 33" UNDER WR PACE.

I bet the Japanese watching this are going nuts right now......

"Alan Culpepper is looking good. He's passed Comisky Park in about 1:43."

What happened to KK? And how far is Comiskey Park into the race?

It's now getting close to Khannouchi's strong part. He might surge soon.

sorry about that the last question was about khalid, not from.

imagine if a few of these guys are able to go under the wr

NO KK & Tergat?

Surprised wejo looks so good as RWorld said 18th mile was 502. Wejo is fine with the even split stuff. But if she starts to hammer at the end?? We'll see.

That's what killed me but of course my 10k pr is 3 minutes slower than his.

23 miles in 1:50 for a 20 second lead for tak

the pack is going to have to make a move soon
