  • 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 Rapha¨elde Fondeville†2 1Department of Mathematics, Ecole Polytechnique F´ed´eralede 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.

    [email protected] From: Alison Wade <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 2, 2020 3:00 AM To: Camille Estes Subject: Fast Women | March 2, 2020 | Issue 61 View this email in your browser Fast Women, March 2, 2020, Issue 61 Presented by UCAN Aliphine Tuliamuk (left) and Molly Seidel, with Sally Kipyego trailing, on their way to making the 2020 U.S. Olympic marathon team. (Photo: @TaFPhoto) Aliphine Tuliamuk, Molly Seidel, and Sally Kipyego earn spots on the U.S. Olympic marathon team 1 On Saturday in Atlanta, Aliphine Tuliamuk, Molly Seidel, and Sally Kipyego ran their way onto the Olympic Team by going 1–2–3 in the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. I thought Sarah Lorge Butler put it perfectly in this article for Runner’s World, when she called the top three “completely unexpected and utterly logical at the same time.” I still think Seidel making the team is slightly illogical, but I’ll explain later. There were so many excellent marathoners in contention, it was inevitable that some excellent runners would be left off the team. But for Jordan Hasay, Sara Hall, Emily Sisson, Molly Huddle, Des Linden, and Kellyn Taylor to all be left off, that’s the surprise. How it went down The race went out slowly, relatively speaking, with most of the 444 starters right together through the first mile, which the leaders hit in 6:13. The biggest development in the first mile, as far as I know, is that Kaitlin Goodman went down and got trampled. She got back in the race, but her injuries ultimately took her out of the race shortly before halfway, and it’s frustrating that she never got to test her fitness on this stage.

  • 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.

  • 2019 Annual Report
    ACHILLES INTERNATIONAL 2019 ANNUAL REPORT MOVING INTO A NEW DECADE WITH ACHILLES As we begin 2020, Achilles International celebrates its history and accomplishments of the past four decades and enthusiastically enters the new one with an eye towards growth. At Achilles International, our primary focus has always been to bring hope, inspiration and the joys of achievement to all. Since our founding in 1983, we have empowered over 150,000 athletes of all ages and ability levels to participate in endurance events around the globe. This number does not reflect the hundreds of thousands of volunteers, family members and friends who experience the impact of our work through their relationships and their affiliations. In 2019 alone, Achilles reached roughly 15,000 athletes with disabilities around the world including 8,500 children across the United States to whom we brought our Achilles Kids fitness program. During the past year, we sent delegations to marquee endurance events including marathons in New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Disney World, Berlin, Tokyo, Medellin, as well as the U.S. Para Triathlon National Championships, among many others. Additionally, over 10,000 athletes participated in Achilles’ own Hope & Possibility® 4 mile races held in locations such as Nashville, New Jersey, Hartford, New York, New Zealand, Germany and Mongolia. As we transition into the new year and a new era, Achilles occupies a unique position at the intersection of two powerful cultural movements – wellness and inclusion. With these social and cultural winds behind it, Achilles sets its sights on broadening its impact in terms of the number of individuals it serves, the positive outcomes it influences and the awareness it inspires.
