It’s the NCAA Conference Cross Country Champs this weekend. Most of the primo ones are on pay TV, but PAC-12 should be a good one, probably involves some of your own young athletes & is FTA. Live at 18:00 UK time tomorrow.

Another one of the unique United States ultra-marathons. Here’s an old explanation of it: https://www.si.com/more-sports/2019/12/04/big-dogs-backyard-ultra-marathon

I watched the live stream a couple of times during those 108 hours. It’s bizarre what these athletes are capable of.

Joanna Jóźwik and Adam Kszczot (both Polish 800m runners in the past) run NY Marathon today. Good luck then!

[Dennis 759]

Interesting New York marathon with the women starting 25 minutes before the men, but  Tola finishing in 2:04:59 was only shortly after the top 3 women with  Obiri winning the women's race in 2:27:23.

 

The women were consistently running at a 2:30:00+ pace for more than 35km, where the men's race was hard right from the start.
