Nine athletes -- including recent world champions Christian Coleman, Salwa Eid Naser, and Elijah Manangoi -- have been suspended for whereabouts failures in 2020, compared to two in all of 2018 and 2019 combined. What's going on?

Tokyo may not have cachet of London or Boston but it's by far the best marathon for US fans to watch as it's on during prime time in the US. We get you ready for Saturday night's race.

The 24-year old Geoffrey Kamworor had accomplished an awful lot in his young career but he'd never won a marathon until today.

We also spoke with top women Mary Keitany (focused on the win, not the course record), Edna Kiplagat, and Betsy Saina ("redebuting" under new coach Patrick Sang following her DNF in Tokyo) as well as Geoffrey Kamworor & defending men's champ Ghirmay Ghebreslassie.

Which of the following 5 men will win NY on Sunday - Wilson Kipsang, Ghirmay Ghebreslassie, Lelisa Desisa, Lemi Berhanu, or Geoffrey Kamworor?

Did you know Wilson Kipsang has run sub 2:05 EIGHT straight years? Plus Abebe Bikila's record lives on, John Kellogg nails yet another marathon prediction and more.  

Bekele has "complete confidence" he can compete with any athlete, Kipsang says his fitness is "far much better" than last year and wonders if Kipchoge has recovered from Breaking2, and Eliud Kipchoge says he's "really, really looking forward" to Sunday but refused to talk about Bekele or Kipsang.

The last six world records in the men's marathon (and 7 of the last 9) have all been set in Berlin. We take a look back at those historic races.

The Big 3 Eliud Kipchoge, Wilson Kipsang and Kenenisa Bekele are chasing the world record in Berlin on Sunday.

The race now has three of five fastest men of all-time. *MB: Bekele added to 2017 Berlin field

He joins the previously announced Eliud Kipchoge while the women's race is lead by 2015 winner Gladys Cherono (2:19:25).

Wilson Kipsang just ran 2:03:13 in Berlin. He says he wants his world record back. We think a course record (2:05:42) is more reasonable. But it should be exciting nonetheless and the best part about it is you don't have to get up early to enjoy. Live Saturday night during prime-time.

We analyze the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon men's field.

LRC supervisitor David Graham has rolled out his 2016 world rankings plus plenty more thoughts on the year in men's marathoning. Obviously the great Kipchoge is #1, but where does Rupp rank?

The LRC "brains" may have reached a rare consensus.
