The Official Connor Mantz American record half marathon attempt thread.

Best guess would be sub 61. I think with an intentional build to the half marathon, he will get the AR on his next attempt.

Only delusional liberals will think he is getting this AR right now. Great runner but this talk is desirespectful to Hall's record.

Mantz will, to coin a phrase, go home devastated.

61:30-61:50

BING BONG

59:38

It's been established that he is not going for the American record.

Lead pack through 10 miles at 46:44.

Is there a feed somewhere

Mantz 1:00:55

Is it unfair that the young 24 yo has to run against all these older guys (lol)?

Good performance got the win. Would like him to maybe go for 10K this cycle but after that attack the roads almost exclusively.

Not bad overall, except it's Kipchoge's marathon pace. Really though, I'm impressed that Mantz has the strength after the season. A win is a win against seasoned road racers.

Just like that Mantz is Americas best half marathoner. Chelanga, Futsum, Korir, Maiyo, Lalang, Lara, Montanez, Pearson all go home devastated. Who the hell was saying Lara is better than Mantz?? They're not even close. Mantz obvioulsy on a different level.
