    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.

  • MARATHON (WO)MAN… Made in Athènes… Since 1896 !
    NEWSLETTER N°13 JUILLET 2021 CÔTE DE JADE ATHLETIC CLUB Convivialité | Entraide | Performance L’édito d’été d’un triathlète impliqué, Samuel Brégeot "Depuis quelques semaines, on se réjouit de voir que le sport en compétition redémarre. Tout le monde connaît le triathlon avec le traditionnel enchaînement Natation / Vélo de route / Course à pied (CAP). Mais la section est tout d'abord définie comme un sport de disciplines enchaînées. On pratique de multiples épreuves combinées : - le Cross triathlon (on remplace le vélo de route par un VTT et la CAP se déroule toujours en mode trail, pour ceux qui préfèrent la nature au bitume)... - l'Aquathlon (natation / CAP) pour ceux qui n'aiment pas le vélo... - le Duathlon (CAP / vélo / CAP) pour ceux qui ne savent pas nager ... - le Vétathlon est la version nature de ce dernier avec du VTT à la place du vélo de route... - le Run&Bike par équipe de 2 pour ceux qui adorent sauter sur leur vélo et piquer des sprints... - le SwimRun en binôme où tu nages avec tes chaussures et tu cours avec ta combi, - des épreuves en équipe (triathlon, duathlon) ou en relais (chacun fait son sport de prédilection)... - le Swim&Bike, euh non ce sport n'existe pas (pas encore ) !!! Bien-sûr toutes ces épreuves sont proposées avec toute une palette de distances. Du triathlon XS (300m de nat' + 10km de vélo + 2,5km de Cap) jusqu'au XL, plus connu sous le nom d'Ironman (3,8km de nat' + 180km de vélo + 42km de CAP). Les pratiques sont très variées et c'est ce qui fait le charme de ce sport.

  • Updated 2019 Completemedia
    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

  • 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.
