Geoffrey Kamworor rocked a 44:58 10 miler in Switzerland in windy conditions over the weekend

It would be fun if Bekele did it again this year. I enjoyed watching him destroy the field last year.

What is Kamworor's next marathon? Pacer for sub 2-2.0? Berlin with the absence of kipchoge?

And this year he would have been the one getting destroyed...

Thanks for that!

This is not a minor race in Switzerland, totally the opposite, with good sponsors, with crowd support throughout the most of the course, and very well organised, based on 2 previous experiences.

8th fastest time of all time.

The jerk store called. They said they are literally running out of you.

Hi, I'm the one who wrote the original mail to the brojos - apologies for any misunderstanding, but by "minor", I meant in terms of the pro elite field. Each year they get one elite "superstar" (e.g. last year Bekele, Haile G. a few times, Zersennay Tadesse at his peak - incidentally whose course record Kamworor smashed) and then maybe a couple of other sub-50 guys - beyond that it's packed with good, but not outstanding low-50-min guys down to about 25th place. You're right, it's definitely not "minor" in terms of the size, crowd support and organisation, all of which are awesome every year. I also made a mistake when I said Tadesse Abraham was "not in shape" - I didn't see that he ran 2:07 in Vienna a few weeks ago, so it's more a case of he's still recovering...

I particularly like the half marathon WR attempt. This is his event and I am happy that for the first time he has thought of going for the record. He will get it and could become the first man to run under 58 mins. He can beat the best half marathoners by at least 30 seconds. It will be super interesting if Kipchoge breaks 2 hours and then a few weeks later Kamworor breaks 58.

Cool with this as well! Want to see him time trial a fast/flat marathon at some point too.
