Great performance by Amy Hunt in the 200m
Wow
Pretty impressive stuff from the three British girls at the worlds yesterday ![]()
Hopefully inspire more young girls to get involved, positive role models, and others like Eilish.
Does Billie run too?
British Born (now racing for the USA
) ran sub 2:05 at Boston. Would have been a British record…
Big improvement from 2:10 in November to now. Conditions supported maybe but that is a chunk of time off for him.
It must have been good conditions yesterday, as it’s not a fast course but the winner ran sub 2:02. Maybe a tailwind.
26 mile headwind when I did it ![]()

Aren’t Boston times invalid for official records because of the point to point nature? It was a perfect tailwind apparently, hence times across the board being rapid.
I thought it looked quick, people doing 2:55 and barely getting in the top 5000 I think.
I think you’re correct about it not counting as a WR with being a point to point.
Heard an analysis showing that at the true men’s elite level it was by far the quickest ever, something like more people under 2:05 and 2:08 this year then there had been in entire history combined.
Nearly all big marathons are point to point though aren’t they? Think Boston is a special case because it is net down hill, although the hills near the end cancel out much of the benefit for most people.
That was my understanding
Yes, most are but not quite a straight line like Boston. Even London loops around.
Berlin and Chicago have the same start/finish, just about.
Start and finish must not exceed 50% of the distance.
Elevation decrease must be less than 1m per km
I think thats is correct.
Oh, and measured grade A or B accredited
