  • World Record Holders and Olympic Medalists at the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon
    PRESS RELEASE 1 March 2017 World Record Holders and Olympic Medalists at the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon Today the RunCzech Organisation announced a World-Class field including two World Record Holders; Peres Jepchirchir and Leonard Patrick Komon, and two Rio Olympic Medalists; Galen Rupp and Tamirat Tola who will compete on April 1st in the 2017 edition of the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon. The women’s list features the reigning World Champion, Peres Jepchirchir fresh from her Half marathon World Record performance (1:05:06 in RAK) in February. She will be challenged by the Prague event record holder Violah Jepchumba (1:05:51) who ran the fastest half marathon in the world in 2016, and RunCzech Racing’s young star, Joyciline Jepkosgei (1:06:08 in RAK this year). The race will include two other women with PRs under 1:07; Worknesh Degefa of Ethiopia, the former event record holder and Kenyan Gladys Chesir. Of interest also are two American challengers Jordan Hasay who debuted in Houston this year with a 1:08:40 and Maegan Krifchin (1:09:51) along with the fastest Czech woman, Eva Vrabcova. The men’s field is also blessed with a World Record Holder in the person of Leonard Patrick Komon who claims road records at 10K and 15K which he set in 2010. Komon will be trying to improve on his third place finish in Prague from 2015. The biggest threat may come from another Kenyan, Barselius Kipyego who ran 59:15 in Usti nad Labem last September setting a course record on what had not previously been considered a fast course.

I know you’ve been training for the big day (a.k.a. marathon day) for a while now so it’s normal to get anxious as the day approaches. I’ve been there too. As a runner, I’ve dealt with the rigors of marathon training and the nervousness as the race nears, none more so than before my first marathon, the New York City Marathon or before I won the National Masters Trail Marathon Championships a few years ago. As a coach, I’ve trained thousands of runners just like you for marathons around the globe, in every weather condition and over all types of crazy terrain.

  • How Eliud Kipchoge's Unique Physiology Attenuates His
    Flattening the curve: how Eliud Kipchoge’s unique physiology attenuates his age- related performance decline Hunter L. Paris1, Chad C. Wiggins2, Ren-Jay Shei3 1Department of Sports Medicine, Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA 2Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA 3Independent Sport Scientist, Carlsbad, CA, USA Address for correspondence: Hunter L. Paris, Ph.D. Department of Sports Medicine Pepperdine University Malibu, CA 90263 E-mail: [email protected] Word Count (excluding Abstract, References, and Figure Legends): 1234 Abstract Word Count: 90 1 Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the physiological profile of Eliud Kipchoge in his attempt at a master’s M50 (age 50-54) marathon World Record. Additionally, by comparing Kipchoge’s physiology over the past two decades with those of healthy individuals, we document his age-related decline in performance, thereby demonstrating the extreme limit of what is understood to be physiologically plausible. Coupled with his eclipsing of the World Record, Kipchoge’s data demonstrate that although aging remains inevitable, technological advancements and world class physiology slow age-related decrements in health and performance. 2 Introduction Following the cancelation of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics due to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the world gasped when Eliud Kipchoge (EK) retired from athletics, pursuing instead his career in men’s fashion (sparked by his experience with GQ magazine). Though EK continued to run recreationally and annually contributed physiological data towards a longitudinal study on aging, twenty years strode silently by before Kipchoge once again donned a bib number and race kit. In 2039, the much anticipated return of, “the philosopher” arrived.

  • The Things Runners Have Built
    The Things Runners Have Built Jackie Lebo takes us to Eldoret, Kenya where development is taking place thanks to the investment of earnings of Kenyan runners. On this hot Saturday in early June, it seems half of Eldoret has come to shop for groceries at Tusker Mattresses Supermarket. The parking lot across the road is full. People come out, from whole families laden with paper bags branded with the supermarket logo to lone women balancing bags on their heads braving the blistering sun on their long walk home. Tusker Mattresses Supermarket is located on two floors of the five-story Komora Centre, a large building in the middle of town that covers almost an entire city block. It is owned by Moses Kiptanui, the runner who dominated the 3000 m steeplechase races for about five years in the nineties. Kiptanui broke world records, won awards, and the only thing that eluded him was the Olympic gold, which he lost by a razor thin margin to fellow Kenyan Joseph Keter in the 1996 Atlanta games. The steeplechase is special. Even more than other middle and long distance races that have brought Kenyans fame, Kenyan steeplechasers have won all eight times they entered during the last ten Olympics. In 1976 and 1980 Kenya boycotted the Olympics. It is fitting that Kiptanui, one of Kenya’s most successful athletes, is now one of the largest athlete-investors in Eldoret. Eldoret is experiencing a property boom, with growth rates of almost 8%, three times the national average. The changing skyline shows the continuing investment of runners in commercial real estate.
