A woman has run 2:11:53 for the marathon - that's equivalent to a 3:56.21 mile according to WA - which seems shocking but Rojo tells you why it may not really be that crazy if you think about it.

There have only been six races in history in which multiple Americans have broken 2:10 (the record is four guys under 2:10, achieved at the 2012 Olympic Trials). But with seven of the top 12 finishers from the Trials entered on Sunday, we could see as many as half a dozen Americans break the barrier in Arizona.

The bad news: an American is almost certain to get lapped in Sunday's London Marathon. The good news: you can get lapped in London and still run really, really fast. We preview the chances of Jared Ward, Sara Hall, Molly Seidel, and Lindsay Flanagan. Could Sara Hall possibly break Deena Kastor's 2:19:36 AR?

The 2020 London Marathon field is out and it's amazing. We tell you who is in, who is out and along the way we wonder when Galen Rupp will next race. *MB: London Marathon elite fields 2020

The men's race has eight men who have run sub-2:05 including Mosinet Geremew (2:02:55) and Mule Wasihun (2:03:16) while the women's race also has world champ Ruth Chepngetich and former London winner Vivian Cheruiyot. Mo Farah will be a pacer for the men going for the 2:11:30 Olympic standard.

The women's race includes Dom Scott-Efurd, Kellyn Taylor, Laura Thweatt and Stephanie Bruce. The meet will be streamed live on RunnerSpace starting at 9:30am EST.

The race will be broadcast for free at 10AM ET on Instagram.

JG makes his Olympic Trials predictions - Rupp, Korir, Ward. JG is impressed by Ward's recent 4 x 2 mile workout at 5000 feet - 9:15/9:08/9:14/9:09.

While Eyestone is full of praise for his rival college coach Mike Smith for agreeing to coach Galen Rupp and says he doesn't think Rupp was doing anything "nefarious" while under Salazar, he does think Rupp is vulnerable on Saturday. "I think that Wardy is going to be a factor as long as his stomach’s fine and everything’s going according to plan." *MB: Is Galen Rupp vulnerable on Saturday? Ed Eyestone thinks Jared Ward has a shot at beating him

Fauble. Ward. Korir. Who's the odd man out in Atlanta?

Hitomi Niiya's comeback story is pretty cool and Jemal Yimer believe it or not crossed the line first for the first time ever on a day that saw 14 American men go sub 1:02 and 7 women go sub 1:10 as Jared Ward was 1st American and Sara Hall beat Molly Huddle.

Each year, Houston always gets road racing in America off to a good start and with the US Olympic Marathon Trials just six weeks away, that's truer than ever this year. *MB: Official 2020 Houston Discussion Thread

Jonathan Gault breaks down the Americans' chances of making the 2020 Olympic marathon team - from Galen Rupp (90%) to Dathan Ritzenhein (5%) and Benard Lagat (5%).

Kamworor ran his final 10k in 29:14 and got the win as Jared Ward took top American honors in 6th and Abdi Abdirahman set a new US masters record of 2:11:34 at age 42.

The pros weighed in on bouncing back from Worlds, chasing the course record (or not), and (of course) the Nike Vaporflys.

NYC's elite men's field isn't deep at all, but with Geoffrey Kamworor coming in off a half marathon WR, Lelisa Desisa chasing an unprecedented Worlds/NYC double, and Jared Ward entering in terrific shape, the men's race should still be a good one.

The good news is the women's race has some real firepower up front. The bad news is the men's race will set a record-low in terms of depth for a recent Abbott World Marathon Major.

An American-born runner not named Galen Rupp hadn't broken 2:10 in more than 2,000 days but two men did it on Monday in Boston.
