Sub 2 Happened & Did the Marathon Change Forever? Sawe 1:59:30 + 2:05 Shocker in Toledo
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent marathon records set by Sabastian Sawe and others, along with various running-related topics.
Sabastian Sawe ran 1:59:30 at the London Marathon to become the first person to officially break two hours, with Yomif Kejelcha running 1:59:41 in his marathon debut to become the second. The top three all broke Kelvin Kiptum's previous world record of 2:00:25. On the women's side, Tigist Assefa defended her title in a women's-only world record of 2:15:41. Meanwhile in Toledo, Ohio, unsponsored 25-year-old Vincent Mauri shocked the running world with a 2:05:54 solo effort at the Glass City Marathon, making him the fourth-fastest American ever on a record-eligible course. The crew also breaks down Penn Relays drama, Cheptegei's marathon struggles, and whether Kipchoge's exhibition stole Sawe's thunder. 🎁 🎧 Join the Supporters Club for $5 a month with code GOAT50 Get a 2nd LetsRun podcast every week + bonus content: Join the Supporters Club — https://www.letsrun.com/subscribe 1:59:40 Shirts on Sale!
