September 4, 2014 Reporters May Contact September 4, 2014 Reporters May Contact: Alex Sawyer, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 1.312.992.6618 [email protected] Diane Wagner, Bank of America, 1.312.992.2370 [email protected] World Record Holders and Past Champion Highlight Elite Fields at 2014 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Kenenisa Bekele, 5,000m and 10,000m World Record Holder, and Eliud Kipchoge Lead Men’s Course Record Chase Sub 2:20 Women Rita Jeptoo, 2013 Champion, and Florence Kiplagat, Half Marathon World Record Holder, Ready to Test 42K Speed CHICAGO – The Bank of America Chicago Marathon today announced that the 2014 elite competition will feature five men with personal records (PR) of 2:05 or faster, and four women with the potential to break the tape on Columbus Drive under 2:20. “This year’s field is built for speed and record-breaking performances,” said Bank of America Chicago Marathon Executive Race Director Carey Pinkowski. “We have big expectations due to this group of men and women who know how to race, dig deep and win.” Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele (2:05:04) and Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge (2:04:05) will rekindle their historic track rivalry on the road as both men chase the record books. Also in the hunt will be Kenya’s Sammy Kitwara (2:05:16), Bernard Koech (2:04:53) and Dickson Chumba (2:05:42). In the women’s race, 2013 champion Rita Jeptoo (2:18:57) will face Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat (2:19:44), Jemima Sumgong (2:20:48) and relative newcomer, Ethiopia’s Birhane Dibaba (2:22:30). The men’s field Kenenisa Bekele and Eliud Kipchoge began their competition on the start line more than a decade ago at the 2003 IAAF World Championships in the 5,000m. While the two men have gone head-to-head more than a dozen times in their careers, their biggest challenge on race day will be the course record, 2:03:45, set last year by Kenya’s Dennis Kimetto. Only five men in history have broken 2:04 on record-eligible courses. Bekele transitioned to the marathon this year after an illustrious track and cross-country career that produced four World Records (he currently holds the 5,000m and 10,000m records) and over 21 Olympic and World Champion titles. Similar to Bekele, Kipchoge transitioned from the track to the roads in 2012, and won his marathon debut at the 2013 Hamburg Marathon in a course record 2:05:30. He started his 2014 campaign with a win at the Rotterdam Marathon, clocking an even 2:05:00 despite windy conditions and uneven pacing. Far from a two-person race, the 2014 field includes several men with the raw talent and right speed to join the quest for a new course record. Kenya’s Sammy Kitwara returns to Chicago for a third time and brings something unique to this year’s field: experience on Chicago’s famously fast and flat course. Kitwara finished fourth in his Chicago debut (and marathon debut) in 2012, running 2:05:54. His speed over the half marathon distance – the fifth fastest men’s time in history (58:48) – ranks him high among the list of potential winners. Kenya’s Bernard Koech does not have the longest resume in the field, but he has the second-fastest marathon PR, 2:04:53, from his marathon debut in Dubai in 2013; and like Kitwara, Koech has incredible half marathon speed. At the 2013 Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half Marathon, he produced the fastest half marathon time run on American soil, beating Kipchoge by running 58:41. Koji Kobayashi leads a strong contingent of Japanese runners. He started his year with a personal best at the 2014 Tokyo Marathon, finishing ninth in 2:08:51. Ecuador’s Bayron Piedra rounds out the international field. The two-time Pan-Am Games silver medalist has little experience over long distances, but enough speed over 5,000m and 10,000m to clock a fast time. The American charge will be led by former track star-turned-distance runner Bobby Curtis of Rochester Hills, Mich. (2:13:24). Joining him will be Craig Leon of Eugene, Ore. (2:13:52) and Tim Young of Fredericksburg, Va. (2:15:14). Hot off of his 25K American Record, Christo Landry of Ann Arbor, Mich. (2:14:44), is ripe for a breakthrough performance, and Matt Llano of Flagstaff, Ariz., hopes to stride past Ryan Hall’s American marathon debut record of 2:08:24 when he toes the line for the first time. The women’s field Defending champion Rita Jeptoo and her training partner, Jemima Sumgong, will return to Chicago this October. Jeptoo ran her first career sub 2:20 in last year’s race, the fifth fastest time in Chicago Marathon history, and she returns this fall after smashing the Boston Marathon course record in April, running 2:18:57. If Jeptoo cracks the 2:20 barrier for a third time, she will become just the third woman in history to run three career sub 2:20s. Sumgong, the 2013 Rotterdam Marathon champion, stayed with Jeptoo through 35K during last year’s duel and came home with a second-place finish and a new personal best of 2:20:48. Out to prevent a repeat one-two finish by Jeptoo and Sumgong is Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat, the 2010 IAAF World Half Marathon champion and the 2011 and 2013 Berlin Marathon champion. Kiplagat pulled out of the 2012 Chicago Marathon with an injury, and she has made no secret of coming to Chicago this fall to improve her 2:19:44 personal best from the 2011 Berlin Marathon. Twenty-year-old Birhane Dibaba stole the show at the 2014 Suja Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Half Marathon when she outsprinted Rita Jeptoo with 50 meters to go, winning in 1:09:34. Although Dibaba is the youngest competitor in the elite field, she has run six marathons. She ran her first marathon at age 18, and she has finished her last three marathons in 2:23 or under. Amy Hastings (Providence, R.I.) leads a talented field of American women. Hastings, the ninth fastest American woman over the marathon distance and the fifth fastest over 10,000m, made her marathon debut in 2011 in convincing fashion, finishing second in the Los Angeles Marathon in 2:27:03. Joining Hastings will be top American finisher at the 2013 Chicago Marathon, Clara Santucci of Dilliner, Pa., (2:29:54) and Becky Wade of Houston, Texas, dubbed America’s best young marathon runner. Wade made her debut by winning the 2013 California International Marathon in 2:30:41. 2012 Olympian Lisa Uhl (Des Moines, Iowa), the seventh-fastest American over 10,000m, will make her marathon debut. Watching the 2013 Bank of America Chicago Marathon from the finish line inspired Uhl to re-evaluate her career and ultimately make the move to the marathon. Athlete quotes “I am looking forward to coming to Chicago and competing with Kenenisa on the road this time. I chose Chicago because it has a fast course and I want to better my personal best. It’s also one of the best races in the world.” – Eliud Kipchoge "I am coming back to Chicago for the third time. Chicago is a nice city and it has a good sports atmosphere. I will try to run the race of my life this year, and if God gives me the strength, my target is to run 2:04:28." – Sammy Kitwara "I'm very excited to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon this fall. The depth of the field this year is incredible. I'm looking forward to seeing where I stand against the world's best, as well as how I stack up against some of the top Americans. Chicago is an exceptionally fast course so I hope to lower my PB of 2:13 by a few minutes. I've been training well so I think I have a realistic shot at 2:10 or 2:11, on a great day, maybe faster." – Bobby Curtis “I was supposed to compete in the Chicago marathon two years ago but was out due to injury, but I am happy now to be part of the competition for my fans and supporters. It is no retreat and no surrender for me; it’s a do-or-die game and I will give all my best to succeed and make the 12th of October a great day!” – Florence Kiplagat “Running the Chicago Marathon has been my dream since I started running, and it will be my first big race. My goal is to win and run 2 hours, 20 minutes or faster.” – Birhane Dibaba “I can't wait to be racing through the streets of Chicago. As a notoriously fast course, I am out there to run a PR and compete with some of the world’s best until the very end.” – Amy Hastings For additional athlete quotes, visit chicagomarathon.com/2014elites.

  • 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.

    September 10, 2015 Reporters May Contact: Alex Sawyer, Bank of America Chicago Marathon, 1.312.992.6618 [email protected] Diane Wagner, Bank of America, 1.312.992.2370 [email protected] 2012 Chicago Champion and Current Half Marathon World Record-holder Headline 2015 Bank of America Chicago Marathon Elite Field International Elites Attempt to Qualify for National Olympic Teams CHICAGO – Today, the Bank of America Chicago Marathon announced 2012 champion Tsegaye Kebede of Ethiopia and current half marathon world record-holder Florence Kiplagat of Kenya will return to compete for the crown at the 38th annual event. Kebede and Kiplagat accent an international elite field that represents the global road to Rio de Janeiro. Many athletes hope to use the 2015 Chicago Marathon as a springboard (via qualifying times and notable performances) to representing their countries at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games. Chicago marks the site of Kebede’s 2012 marathon personal best (2:04:38) and his sole victory in three attempts down the homestretch on Columbus Drive. His 2010 epic, head-to-head battle against the late Sammy Wanjiru is considered by many to be one of the most courageous marathon duels of all time. On the women’s side, Kenya’s Florence Kiplagat comes back to Chicago after finishing in 2:25:57 last year. Kiplagat has something no other woman in the field has: the half marathon world record. The 2010 IAAF World Half Marathon champion and the 2011 and 2013 Berlin Marathon champion broke her own half marathon world record in February, clocking a remarkable 1:05:09 in Barcelona (she also set the 15K and 20K world records en route).

  • 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.
