The world champs for women is 2:23:30.
I believe OQ was 2:26:30 last time, so I don't think 2028 has been released but following the world champs one of 2:23:30 I'd expect it to be similar or 2:23 flat maybe.

Over 200' net downhill. Meh.
Bright side for Spencer is beating Ottesen and Wood.
I think it's more like 100'. Not as downhill as I thought but no uphills. Looks like you just lose ~10'/mile. Definitely makes for fast times, mixed with perfect weather. Would actually think Allie could hang with the 1:09s on a day like this. Spencer can get a lot better on the roads with his speed. Hopefully he just strings together consistent training & stays at it. Can OTQ if he puts in the work.

Good run by Allie and Spencer. Biggest upside is Lauren Gregory, who could have a promising ‘Thon debut or will continue to excel in trail running.
I wouldn't sleep on Lauren Gregory, if she can get to more races this year she will be a force to reckon with at anything sub-ultra on any surface. World Mountain Champs are the same week as World Road Champs this year if I read the calendar right...
I agree! I find the videos with him in them hard to watch, especially knowing he has a kid out there he never sees. Philly boyfriend on the other hand is a gem
Increasingly I'd read almost nothing into Bowdens results outside marathons. Her marathons show fine progression, great pace judgement and stack up v well against her other PBs. I'm sure any prize money is now dwarfed by her SM income and sky high coaching fees ; so I think she knows just what she is doing both race wise, training wise and all the other self obsessed garbage that gets her attention. I'm sure she realises that at least 99pc of her fandom dont understand if , for her, a race result between 3k and HM is a good or less good one.
The sad thing is that people like this represent our sport?? Cant we have a Influencer that does not bounce around on camera parading their poor mental health like its a badge of honour?
Either one of these two people are good athletes but exactly the people you would never wish to be sat with in a lift if it broke down.
They get to spend their entire day training, you would expect a little more insight than the twee rubbish they currently put out

tas has a kid?
yes - I have been watching TAS since he was in college and he got his college gf pregnant and ditched the kid/her
You do know that was a just joke he perpetuated on his YouTube posts? They were usually tagged in the last 30 seconds of his videos.
Who freaking cares !!!

Have heard 2:16 from reputable sources. Don't know women's (or if it's finalized).
nothing would be worse for the sports than Philly to get a GB vest. she is an utter irritant content. gofundme page is needed to save her boyfriend from her psycotic tendancies
