It seems like the marathon has come into its own, with top quality young athletes not just ex track runners looking for the next thing.

[@Wonderkid44]

Absolutely, young athletes will change everything.

[@sinking1902]

💯 we are entering the golden age of the marathon. Improved running tech, young athletes forgoing the track to attack the marathon, more media attention, more money. They use to say the 2 hour barrier was unbreakable…It’s now very breakable.

[@barath4545]

Its the same that happened to the Ironman pro circuit 6-7 yrs ago. Suddenly it was no longer older guys with a few young ones and then the fast young ones did OLY triathlons. Now young and old supertalents come into Ironman straight away and the times dropped a LOT, especially on the marathons in the end. (I realize a lot of that drop on running could also be shoes, as Ironmans (having done a couple), is especially rewarding when it comes to super shoes)

[@anthonycarr6732]

It’s already been broken by Kipchoge. Do people think he had robot legs or something? I don’t care if it wasn’t a major marathon or not. He ran 26.2 miles in under 2 hours. No one, not even Kiptum, can take that away from him.

I know athletics has a drug problem but can you stop saying everyone who does something is automatically on drugs. Also can I ask do you think Jakob, Bol, Warholm, Jackson, Richardson are all in PEDs aswell or just the marathon runners?

[@krakhour2]

I think it is hard to say who is and who isn't..not just the time that makes things stand out. American runners have slowed from Ryan hall 2.06 back 5 years ago to 2.07 by rupp .

Kelvin Kiptum will run the Rotterdam Marathon in 2024. This fast parcours held the world record several times. The last decade they couldn’t compete financially with the major marathon’s, but with their signing of Kiptum we could really be in for something special…🚀

[@davidtydeman1434]

It is a great time to be a marathon fan

[@lingnguyen2623]

The talent has always been there, with the big cash prizes and new shoe technologies, pacers, fast race courses, etc., it is painfully obvious that the athletes of yesterday especially those from the African nations would have broke the 2hr barrier a long time ago. I find it even more amazing though that the African female athletes are running sub 220 and most recently the WR from a female is 211. this is just as incredible as a sub 2 hr marathon. Marathoning has never been as exciting as it is today.

[@briansleepylee]

I’ve said it before and will say it again: pace lights and pace setters are utter BS and shouldn’t exist. Being able to pace yourself is part of the sport.

Pace setters also block the wind and let you run 1-2 % faster

[@carlholland3819]

watches are stupid too

[@Trancefreak12]

Pace setters that start from the beginning are fine because they might as well be competitors who drop out. I don't like pace lights because they defeat the purpose of disallowing pacers that jump in mid-race.

Tola knows who kiptum is. Even as a debut at Valencia Tola could not keep up with in experienced kiptum. He found him too fast during the second half. They also met again at London and by the time Tola finished kiptum was sipping some "Mursik" from his Guard.

[@MicahShehuJoel-of8ne]

He won’t win but he is in the medal hunt. I hope Kipchoge can pull together one last peak performance and battle it with Kiptum but I think Kiptum is on another level. The question is how the marathon race will play out. In hot and humid Paris in August? Probably conservative for the first half. While in Tokyo everyone keyed off of Kipchoge, now they might be keying off of Kiptum.

Hey @Total Running Productions (or anyone with a good answer) - lots of distances are seeing insane improvement in the last 5-10 years. Why has there not been a new mile record since 1999? Are there any promising athletes right now who have a chance at taking it? Anyone focusing on it? What conditions would we need to see for it to happen tomorrow, and who has the best chance right now?

[@TotalRunningProductions]

Good question - I'd say it mostly boils down to the fact that Hicham El Guerrouj was just that good. He still holds the 1500 and mile records, and as for athletes that can challenge the times, it's certainly both jakob ingebrigtsen and yared nuguse right now

[@Riders241]

Ignore @totalrunningproductions he's wrong. It's because it's not really an event runners train for as it's not an Olympic event and not run nearly as often. Same as why the 2 mile world best lasted so long.

[@christiang5209]

[@joecordero9650]

In this era of marathoning, $100K for a win is a shame. At least a $million$ should be the prize for the effort. Women are even running 2:15 and under. If that's not reason for increasing prize money, I don't know what will. Sifan Hassan, won Chicago, with a 2:13 performance. Her time would have won hundreds of marathons in the 80's and decades before. These runners deserve a huge increase in prize money.

[@eduardopreciado8410]

The scale in the two charts shown in the video is not the same. You can only visualize the differences between the two races if you plot the elevation data in the same scale. It is obvious that NY is not as flat as Chicago, but the difference between the two races is not as severe as the charts seem to suggest.

Kiptum, will smoke this guy. He may well retire with the paycheck which would be a shame, but Kiptum is just quicker. Downhills in races count for a lot in races in terms of speed and rest, arguably more than uphills. I think we can only consider him in the picture if he can run a flat marathon consistently at sub 2.02 (which is crazy)! I do hope that the Olympics brings all of the big names together healthy and willing to bury themselves, but I'm not sure they have the mentality to really fight these days, considering how many of them are front runners in the later stages of races. It will be fascinating. I do think though, that the WR will drop before then.

One obvious fact. Put Kpchoge,Tola and kiptum in one race for instance next year's Paris olympics, and i can bet Kipchoge and Tola will not finish the race. They drop out even before 20k. Kiptum will decimate,vanguish and obliterate them never to be seen again. My advise to kipchoge is not to set foot in Paris.
