2022 London Marathon Recap Podcast + A Look at Conner Mantz and Emily Sisson and Chicago and World Marathon Majors Slashing Prize Purse
by LetsRun.com
October 4, 2022
The 2022 London Marathon came down to the final 2 miles in both the men’s and women’s races and Yalemzerf Yehualaw and Amos Kipruto put on a show.
Yehualaw ran 10:01 for miles 24 and 25 as Kipruto blasted a 4:21 25th mile to get the win, and Kenenisa Bekele showed his career is not over as he ran with the leaders until 5 miles to go and broke the masters world record.
The Bank of America Chicago Marathon is this week and Conner Mantz and Emily Sisson are getting a lot of the attention.
Plus, more reaction to the World Marathon Majors slashing their prize pool. Plus Fiona O’Keefe and Hillary Bor got their first US road titles, Katelyn Tuohy solidified her status as the NCAA favorite, and some very disturbing allegations versus Nick Johnson and Huntington University.
