19:09 for the 5k split through 90k. Getting rough out there. Still doing it though. Unbelievable runner.

They just said he crashed into a fence right at the start when overtaking a group. Not ideal.
This is gonna be tight!! Epic.
Rather see Jim than Camille.
It’s amazing how fast he looks running a 19-minute 5K. Still a lot of bounce and heel back kick.
How do you train in secret from Government? I have tunnels
Jim needs to average 19:00 /5k splits from here to beat the WR.

19:09 for last 5k. Gonna be close.
Yes indeed. He needs to run 37:59 for his last 10k.
So he's not going to get it unless he picks it back up.
He's still hold a 160 cadence ...
Looks like he's got a real chance here. I think it's on!
So it looks like he might just miss it right? Last 5k split was 19:09. He needs to run 37:59 the final 10k to get the record.
Hate to say but it's not going to happen right?
Everything I know about marathon says it's over. Anyway he's got something in reseve?
Jim himself on the pod seemed to say the last miles would be the slowest. Unless he can kick a little.
Yeah, he's losing a lot of form now. Going to miss it I'd say. Shame.
Definitely looking a little spooky.
Going to be close.
It's amazing how I can never have watched an ultra before, not listen to the broadcast and spend 5 minutes on excel and understand it better than the announcers.
Excel won't display the suffering.

I don't think so. Just under 5K to go!
It’s going to come down to less than 30 seconds...
18:40 for the 5k split through 95k. Digging deep and looking realistic that he could do it.
This is going to be so close. I predict miss by 15s :(
