I thought the same. Specifically, the sh1ts. I like Kipsang, if it wasn't for Kipchoge, he would be considered the GOAT. Hell, reasonable arguments could still be made for that title.

Yeah, he looked as if he was experiencing stomach issues. He did't look tired or winded, more of a feeling ill look on his face.

London or Boston has to be in the mix now. He basically ran a hard 10 mile tempo run.

20k 59;27

20km in 59:27. Holding steady now at roughly 2:05:30

Japanese guy going ahead of the pace makers (who don't seem to know what pace to set).

It is Shitara. I like this guy.

Shitara or whatever. Is looking good. Smooth.

20k in 59:27

14:46

14:51(29:37)

14:58

14:50(29:50)

If it was a stomach ache why didn’t he just go to the bathroom like the rest of us? Is that against the rules?

Shitara FTW!!

Half in 1:02:46. 2:05:25 pace.

odds a pacer wins?

Shitara has balls!!! Watched him last year as well. I like how he surged ahead of the tall pacer in blue, and the pacer stared him down. C'mon pacer, do your job, run faster!! He's about to blow your wheels off

Not bad. The 2nd group looks like they are on 2:07 pace or thereabouts.

Has pacer 6 been discussed? Is he there to stay with one of the Japanese runners when/if they fade.

Women on pace for 2:20:30 through 20k, Cragg in the group.

are you trolling? go to the bathroom during a high speed marathon race? race over. so might as well stop, which is what he did.

Something is going on, and the running world is definitely going to talk about it. When it happened last year, it wasn't a big deal, because of the weather, and he wasn't known for DNFing. However, now, in back to back years, there are going to be a lot of questions.

I know Adidas is pissed. He is their main runner, no doubt about it. That wasn't a good look for the new sub 2 shoes either. If Kipsang does not get it together, I imagine adidas focusing more on Adola in the next year or so.

Can't have DNFs while in a running shoe war with Nike.

Is there a separate women’s feed?
