Berlin secures Sabastian Sawe ✅ Now get Yomif Kejelcha in for the rematch. Though the sport’s obsessed with records, not every day will be a WR day and someone still has to win the race. Hope Sawe vs. Kejelcha becomes the defining rivalry of this new era. citiusmag.com/articles/sab...

🗣️ “There are more guys to run faster than yesterday…I know by the end of this year, we will see a new record” 1:59:30 may just be the beginning. 🇰🇪 Sabastian Sawe & 🇪🇹 Yomif Kejelcha become the first 2 men under 2 hours in a legal race. Will the Roger Bannister Effect hit the marathon? I asked Sawe.

"I can count on one hand the number of times I trained in plated shoes the whole build. Maybe 25 miles total. The idea was: if I can run sub-5:00 pace in an unplated trainer, I know I'm getting something extra on race day." – 2:05 marathoner Vincent Mauri citiusmag.com/articles/cit...

On Sunday, I was surprised by Vincent Mauri’s 2:05:53 marathon debut at the Glass City Marathon. The fastest ever by an American. Dove into his Strava & I’ve never been more fascinated by someone’s approach. 🎧 https://open.spotify.com/episode/29K7UGqKMjaHRSkSDQCxvm?si=8vVy8ndPRvOtNkA4L3-rhA

1:59:30 by Sabastian Sawe. Still trying to process it. 🤯 Attempting to break down the factors from the shoes, the fueling, the competition that pushed him, the conditions, and Sawe's anti-doping transparency so that fewer clouds hang over this record. ⬇️ citiusmag.substack.com/p/sabastian-...

SHE DID IT! WORLD RECORD! 1:54.87! KEELY HODGKINSON SMASHES THE INDOOR 800M WORLD RECORD!

We seem to have this tendency to try and trick ourselves before any race by thinking someone else other than Cole Hocker is the favorite. He's the clear favorite moving forward. He's the best middle-distance runner in the world right now.

🔴 Keely Hodgkinson is about to break the indoor 800m world record youtu.be/bHoWuG-lykw

Another packed weekend of results to chat about with @kylemerber.bsky.social + @preetmajithia.bsky.social This week: – Cole Hocker's 3:45.94 mile proves he's the best in the world right now – Predictions on what Keely Hodgkinson runs in Lievin + more 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/6kZj...

🇺🇸 Weini Kelati breaks her own American record in the half marathon with a 1:06:04 for second place overall at the Barcelona Half Marathon this morning

Today's splits for Keely Hodgkinson's 1:56.33 (No. 3 in history) at the British Indoor Championships SPLITS 200m: 27.35 400m: 56.28 (28.93) 600m: 1:26.11 (29.83) 800m: 1:56.33 (30.22) She had a slightly faster opening + final lap in her 1:57.18 PB from 2023 run but a stronger 2nd and 3rd lap today

The end is near for Jolanda Čeplak's 1:55.82 indoor 800m world record.

👀 Elle St. Pierre is entered in the BU Valentine Invitational mile. Seeded at 4:14. Her Team New Balance Boston teammate Katie Mitchell slated to pace in 2:07 through 800m. She owns the indoor U.S. record with a 4:16.41 from Feb. 2024. The world record is 4:13.31 set by Genzebe Dibaba in Feb. 2016.

This one is for the World Rankings nerds. The key change to the World Rankings for 2026 is that World Athletics has implemented a reduction in the placing scores for each category of meet/event. @preetmajithia.bsky.social explains ⬇️ citiusmag.com/articles/wor...
