60:24 was no fluke. Callum Hawkins goes insane in Japan and runs 60:00 half!!

Just for the sake of trivia...

Arturo Barrios of Mexico ran 21101m in 1 hour (3.5 meters longer than HM)

Benoit Zwierzchiewski of France ran 59:53 in Las Vegas (downhill)

Ken Moloney (NZL) and Terry Cotton (USA) on an extreme downhill in Fontana, CA

Hawkins is 133rd all time.

1) this kid is the next Steve Jones. Looks amazing. Doesn't add up, but looks amazing.

2) who is the kid wearing the Nike Oregon Project singlet in the chase pack?

Suguru Osako in the NOP singlet.

Callum Hawkins is running out of his mind. Looks like he could dip under 1 hour for this half in Japan.

Editor's addition. The race is over. Hawkins didn't quite break 60:00. He pulled a "Ritz" and ran 60:00. We merged 3 threads on the great race into one. The 3 titles were, "Hawkins going insane in Japan", "Hawkins runs 60:00 for half marathon", and "28.28 +28.27=60.00 Callum Hawkins!!".

Here are two recaps of the race. One from Japan Running News and one from Athletics Weekly.

Korir ran 1:01:14 a couple of weeks ago in Houston. Hawkins>Korir

Different conditions though. That 1:01 in Houston was impressive with the warm/humid temps. Still an amazing run for Hawkins though. Looking forward to see him run the full at Worlds.

rj, would that not blow your brains out

What are some of the times of the Los Vegas Half Marathon, it's a downhill course.

They raced head to head. Hawkins

Hawkins lost to Korir. Forgot LRC doesn't like less than symbols.

??? Pretty incredible result here. I'll let the course measurers have their say but assuming this is real, this is a huge, huge drop for Hawkins, putting him in the ranks of the best ever non-African born runners, which is saying something.

Yeah, but the thing is not very many of the best non-Africans gave the half a good try on a speedy course. If Rupp went for it in Lisbon or Berlin, he would run a mid-58 minute half putting him in the top 5 all time.

If Ritz concentrated on a fast half, I'm sure he would be round 59 minutes flat.

Hawkins is good but nowhere as good as Ritz in the half.

Hawkins is apparently as good as Ritz in the half marathon. Deal with it.

Half marathon on pure hate. That xc race was the sharpener he needed I guesss.

He wins that and he doesn't run 60 flat

So Muir 9:26 over Obiri

Butchart 3:54 unpressed

Hawkins 60:00

So, Scots on D0p3?
