The "Cam Levins is the next Toshihiko Seko" thread was started 10 freaking months ago and is obviously not about the Canadian record falling. Duh.

This morning, in the biggest marathon in Canada, in the biggest city and media capital of the country, Levins beat the 2:10:09 record, which has stood since 1975.
He will be the front page of every sports section tomorrow morning, and every sports show for the text two days.
In HOKA hat, HOKA shirt, HOKA armbands, HOKA half-tights, and HOKA shoes.
Disloyal Nike loses another one.
Also, he seems to have done better with his new coach (himself?) than under Salazar, who did nothing but get him injured.

Eric Houle at SUU coached Levins to a better marathon than Salazar could.
Gary Lough coached Levins to a better marathon than Salazar could.
I am noticing a pattern.

Levins got robbed. Canadians are cheap. Shitara got 900,000k for breaking a record from 2002. Cam breaks a record from 1975 and gets a lousy 32,000 USD.

The marathon is a much bigger deal in Japan, especially two years before the Olympics.
Also, if the payoff was 900K the record would likely have been harder than 2:10
What did Coolsaet run? Did he go home "devasted"?

Someone fax this to Parker Stinson to let him know how you are supposed to pace yourself in a marathon.

Wait, really? The record was only Drayton’s 2:10 low? I thought it was better. 2:09:xx is obviously good, but, I mean...he was 4th today behind a trio of nobodies. Great comeback for Cam Levins, but not a world class performance.
is Stinson sponsored by Nike? wrote:

Haha. The funny thing is there was a 2:06 group and Levins was smart to know he needed his own 2:08-2:09 pacing, just a minute slower to the half but a huge difference in the marathon.
Meanwhile Stinson is running 2:05 pace for the first half and finishing at 2:12+ because "I don't do negative splits" or whatever. LOL.
