Brigid Kosgei Marathon Records Eliud Kipchoge A marathon is a long distance race (42.2 km or 26.2 miles) Think about it…it’s running 100m, just over 422 times that’s 105.5 laps of the stadium! The marathon race gets its name from the legend of the Greek messenger, Pheidippides, who, in 490 BC, ran from the city of Marathon all the way to Athens to deliver the message that the Greeks were victorious against the Persians in the Battle of Marathon. What is a Marathon? Women were not allowed to compete in any sports for many years. However, in 1967, Kathrine Switzer (United States of America) became Kathrine Switzer the first official woman to run a Marathon . During her run, a race official attempted to stop her from running by grabbing her official bib. However, he was shoved to the ground by Switzer’s boyfriend, Thomas Miller, who was running with her and she completed the race. Marathons around the World Marathons are run all around the World. The most famous ones are in London (April), Boston (April), Berlin (September) and Chicago (October). Many people including celebrities take part in marathons to raise money for different charities. Some people even dress up in fancy dress! Brigid Kosgei Brigid is the fastest female marathon runner. She holds the World record for women with a time of 2:14:04s. She broke this record on 13th October 2019 in the Chicago marathon. Brigid is 25 years old and comes from Kenya. Before she broke this record, the fastest female marathon runner was Paula Radcliffe (Great Britain) and her time was 2:17:18s. Eliud Kipchoge Eliud is 34 years old and also from Kenya. He is the fastest man ever to run a marathon with a time of 1:59:40s. No one in the world has ever run a marathon in less than 2 hours until Eliud managed to accomplish this on 12th October 2019 in Vienna. He had 14 “pacemakers” helping him to keep a steady pace throughout the marathon. However, because of specific IAAF rules, Eliud’s marathon time will not count as a World Record due to having used pacemakers in his race..

Influence of Vaporfly Shoe on Sub-2 Hour Marathon and Other Top
Influence of Vaporfly shoe on sub-2 hour marathon and other top running performances Andreu Arderiu∗1 and Raphaëlde Fondeville†2 1Department of Mathematics, Ecole Polytechnique Fédéralede Lausanne 2Swiss Data Science Center April 20, 2021 Abstract In 2019, Eliud Chipgoke ran a sub-two hour marathon in an unofficial race wearing last-generation shoes. The legitimacy of this feat was naturally questioned due to unusual racing conditions and suspicions of technological doping. In this work, we assess the likelihood of a sub-two hour marathon in an official race, and the potential influence of Vaporfly shoes, by studying the evolution of running top performances from 2001 to 2019 for distances ranging from 10k to marathon. The analysis is performed using extreme value theory, a field of statistics dealing with analysis of records. We find a significant evidence of technological doping with a 12% increase of the probability that a new world record for marathon- man discipline is set in 2021. However, results suggest that achieving a sub-two hour marathon in an official event in 2021 is still very unlikely, and exceeds 10% probability only by 2025. Keywords: Athletics performance, running time records, statistical analysis, Vaporlfly. 1 Introduction In 2016, Nike released the new generation Vaporfly 4% shoes with slogan \Designed for record arXiv:2104.08509v1 [stat.AP] 17 Apr 2021 breaking speed". As a part of its advertisement campaign, the brand initiated the \Breaking 2" project, with the aim to break the two-hour marathon barrier. Since then, the sport community had growing suspicions that 2016-released shoes, and subsequent models, had a significant effect on running performance.

October 13, 2019 Brigid Kosgei Smashes the World Record And
October 13, 2019 Brigid Kosgei Smashes the World Record and Lawrence Cherono Wins in a Sprint Finish at the 42nd Annual Bank of America Chicago Marathon Manuela Schär and Daniel Romanchuk defend their titles in the elite wheelchair competition CHICAGO -- In today’s Bank of America Chicago Marathon, a record number of 45,786* runners crossed the finish line in Grant Park. Beneath a sun-splashed sky and ideal race temperatures hovering in the 40s, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon welcomed a diverse field of runners from 140 countries, all 50 states and all 50 Chicago wards. With a pre-race narrative filled with talk of a potential world record, Brigid Kosgei (KEN) delivered, shattering Paula Radcliffe’s world record (set 16 years ago), 2:15:25, to rewrite history with a jaw-dropping time of 2:14:04.** She also swept away Chicago’s long-standing course record, 2:17:18, on its 17th anniversary (October 13, 2002). “Kosgei’s record follows a great tradition in Chicago started by Steve Jones in 1984 when he set the first world record here,” said Carey Pinkowski, Bank of America Chicago Marathon executive race director, celebrating his 30th anniversary at the helm of the race. “This is the fifth world record we’ve had in Chicago and the fourth that I’ve been a part of. It’s extremely exciting, and it hasn't quite sunken in yet. This just reinforces how fast athletes can run right here in Chicago.” The elite competition With the Bank of America Chicago Marathon kicking off Abbott World Marathon Majors Series XIII, expert race commentator Tim Hutchings on the NBC Chicago broadcast foreshadowed history when he professed at the start, “This is a world record course.” Prior to the race, Kosgei announced her ambition to dismantle Radcliffe’s course record, but when she barreled out of the start on 2:11 pace, it seemed clear that the world record – not just the course record – was in play.

PETERS MAY, 2021 © copyright by WILLIAM R. PETERS 2021 ii Acknowledgements Thank you to Professor Maxwell, my thesis advisor, my professor, my mentor and my conversation partner. Prior to taking your Econometrics course sophomore year, I would have never guessed that I would learn to love running regressions in Stata. Your iterative approach to both econometrics and life inspires me. Our conversations, ranging from running and other sports, to academics and careers, have always brought me joy. Thank you to Professors Cichello, Grubb and Mortimer for pushing me to pursue my academic interests in Economics to the fullest. Thanks also to Professors Cole and Bannon for making your core classes incredibly enjoyable through your enthusiastic style of instruction and generosity of spirit. Thank you to the Computer Science department for teaching me how to learn independently. And thanks to Tracy Regan for always taking an interest in my life and work and being a great friend. Thanks to my friends—Erin, Charlie, Liam, Colin, Ruff, and others—for listening to me ramble about a pair of shoes. Thanks for reminding me to both work hard and play hard. To the folks I have gotten to run with over the years—Mike, Dan, Tom, Kamm, Russ, Sean, Aidan, Alex, Quinn and everyone else—thanks for all the conversations and comradery, for keeping me coming back and keeping me humble.
