Sad news: Moses Tanui's son Job Kiptoo suddenly dies while attending college in Canada

So sad.

Don't come with the "thoughts and prayers" on this one! We have to do better! Rip

RIP to this young man and prayers to his family. So sad.

As a parent of two young children, I cannot fathom having to bury my own child. This is terrible. This weight should not have to be carried by anyone. It is important that we all recognize we do not know what people are suffering through that we interact with, and do our best to have more sympathy. Prayers for Moses.

Any ideas what the cause of death is? Always concerning when young people up and drop dead.

Er..."certainLY"...

Happening a lot recently, and in USA CDC recently stopped releasing excess mortality numbers. I wonder if his college coerced or mislead him into consuming certain newfangled pharmaceutical products...

Arturo Barrios was the first man to run a half marathon in less than an hour in 1991.

Tanui was the first to do it in a half marathon.

Doesn't this say the same thing?

I think he’s referring to an hour record attempt, which someone ran further than a half in an hour

Makes, sense thanks.

*makes sense, thanks.

ed.gee didn't word it well.

In 1991, Arturo Barrios covered the half marathon distance in less than one hour, during a one hour track race.

In 1993, Tanui was the first man under one hour in a half marathon race.

Barrios and Tanui are legends. Lions of men. Back when men drove their father's Chevrolet and women punched beta hipsters in Southie or The Town. There was no Dyestat or Letsrun poppycock. Forget your bouncing carbon shoes just chuck it f*** it run 13.1 miles in under an hour on the track. Distance running is back baby

This is why I come here!

Hilarious misinformation. Sounds like you’re due for your 8th booster! Go mainline some Paxlovid too. Covid has a 99% survival rate according to the CDC.
