Kenya's 2024 Olympic Marathon Teams Selected
Kenya's Olympic marathon team for Paris 2024 are finally selected. Former Olympic champions, Eliud Kipchoge and Peres Jepchirchir will lead their teams, both with a chance to make history. Find out who made Kenya's Marathon teams and who didn't, and discover what makes Kichoge's and Jepchirchir's monumental quest for back-to-back gold so special.Kenyan Olympic Marathon Team Announced - The Best Team Ever
Athletics Kenya has named the six athletes who will represent Kenya in the Marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Kenya first issued preliminary lists in December 2023 (ten men and ten women) and early April 2024 (five men and six women), but following performances at the Boston and London Marathons, the final team has been set, and it is arguably the best marathon team ever sent by any country to any Olympics. Leading the women will be Peres Jepchirchir, the defending Olympic gold medalist and two-time defending world half marathon champion. Jepchirchir's victory at the 2021 Olympics and past wins at the New York and Boston Marathons put her on the short-lists, but her win at the 2024 London Marathon in world-record fashion (women-only race world record of 2:16:16) sealed her spot on the team. Hellen Obiri, clearly earned her spot on the Olympic squad through her back-to-back wins a the 2023 and 2024 Boston Marathon book-ending her win at the 2023 New York City Marathon. Although Obiri's personal best of 2:25:49 is the slowest on the squad, her ability to win at women-only races without pacemakers - New York and Boston - should put her in the mix in Paris. The final women's spot on the Kenyan squad was, in our opinion, more difficult. Sharon Lokedi was in the race throughout and finished a close runner-up to Obiri at the 2024 Boston Marathon and seemed a good teammate to compete and also help Obiri at the Olympics. Brigid Kosgei, however, was the defending Olympic silver medalist and had better times, albeit on flat/fast courses, including her since-beaten world record of 2:14:04 at the 2019 Chicago Marathon. In the end, Athletics Kenya selected Kosgei to be on the team and Lokedi to be the alternate.To the delight of most fans of the sport, the Kenyan men's team will be led by two-time defending Olympic Gold Medalist, Eliud Kipchoge. The 2024 Paris Olympics will represent Kipchoge's fifth trip to the Olympics with podium finishes at the 5000m distance at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics and the aforementioned gold medals at the 2016 and 2021 Olympics not to mention his numerous other achievements including world record runs, a marathon faster than 2 hours (unofficial) and more - he has earned his spot. Benson Kipruto, with his 2:02:16 win at the 2024 Tokyo Marathon (well ahead of Kipchoge at that race), takes the second spot on the team. Alexander Munyao Mutiso, not on the original December 2023 shortlist but added to the April 2024 shortlist, earned the third spot on the Olympic squad with his impressive win at the 2024 London Marathon. Mutiso, with a personal best of only (note sarcasm) 2:03:11 will be the slowest member of the team - simply amazing... Timothy Kiplagat, the runner-up at the 2024 Tokyo Marathon in 2:02:55 was announced as the alternate for the team.

Tragedy - Kelvin Kiptum dead in car crash
World record holder Kelvin Kiptum passed away in a tragic car crash on February 11, 2024 in Kenya, he was 24. Kiptum had run only three marathons - but the three were incredible - all under 2:02. Kiptum debuted at the distance with a win and course record at the 2022 Valencia Marathon in 2:01:53. He followed that up in the Spring of 2023 with a win and course record at the 2023 London Marathon in 2:01:25. His final marathon was his win in world record time at the 2023 Chicago Marathon in 2:00:35. Watching Kiptum at the Chicago Marathon, we noted that he was humble and possibly didn't even know how good he was as he indicated he never thought he could break the world record.... Some suspected that Kiptum would be the first man to break the 2 hour barrier in the marathon, but now that talent has been extinguished. Apparently Kiptum was driving his car when he lost control near his home in Kenya. Kiptum's death reminds us of the death of Sammy Wanjiru in 2011 also at the age of 24 - before Kiptum, Wanjiru was also the record-setter at the London Marathon (2:05:10 in 2009) and at the Chicago Marathon (2:05:41 in 2009) and was also the Olympic Marathon champion in 2008 - all in an age before the super shoes. All of these are tragedies and we will never see what greatness these champions could have achieved.2024 USA Olympic Team Trials Marathon!
MarathonGuide.com is on-site at the USA Olympic Trials Marathon in Orlando. Every four years, this race is the highlight of our year. All the best American marathoners in one place, putting it all on the line in a race that counts double: showing who is the best on the day (and lots of prize money) and allowing the top finishers another dream: that they will go to the Olympics.The marathon is over!!! WOW is all we can say. Well, we'll say a lot more when we finish writing our post-race articles. For now, we'll summarize some of what made the marathon amazing...
The women's race - Fiona O'Keefe becomes the youngest-ever Olympic Trials Marathon winner, while setting a Trials Marathon record (2:22:10) AND it was her debut marathon - incredibble. Emily Sisson, the American record-holder ran a smart race and took the runner-up spot to lock in her second visit to the Olympics (she went for the 10,000m at the 2021 Olympics). Dakotah Lundwurm took the third spot in 2:25:31 - impressive.
The men's race showed the power of teamwork as two training partners and friends worked together to take one-two. Conner Mantz winning the Trials in 2:09:05 and his friend/mentor Clayton Young taking the second spot in 2:09:06. Was that one second differential a sprint finish you may ask? No... Young let Mantz take the victory because he thought he deserved it - wow. Then... Leonard Korir - fourth and missing the Olympic team by one spot in 2020 - took the third podium spot! Ooops, but with third place Korir will miss the Olympic team by one spot again...
Anyway, we'll get our articles up soon - please come back to read them and learn why this was such an amazing Trials.

Dubai Marathon - Two Debutantes show how it's done!
New York City Marathon Coverage
The New York City Marathon provided great drama as the men's race saw a chase for the record and the women's race saw six women together in the final miles and a sprint finish. From nearly the start of the race, the men were on pace for a course record and ultimately the twelve year old record did fall with Tamirat Tola running 2:04:58, just 8 seconds ahead of Geoffrey Mutai's 2:05:06 in 2011, but enough for the record. The men's pace broke some of the runenrs, leaving Albert Korir to finish second in 2:06:57 and Shura Kitata to finish third in 2:07:11. The women's race saw a conservative early pace lead to a five-way contest into the finish with Hellen Obiri claiming the victory in 2;27:34. Letesenbet Gidey took the second place honors in 2:27:29 and defending champion Sharon Lokedi finished third in 2:27:33.World Record at Chicago Marathon!
Chicago got its payback against the Berlin Marathon. Just two weeks after Chicago lost the Women's world record to the Berlin Marathon, it snatched back the Men's world record from the Berlin! Kelvin Kiptum, who announced he was aiming for a course record, surprised everyone and himself by setting a new world record of 2:00:35 with his win at the 45th Chicago Marathon. As if that wasn't great enough, the women in the race were on-track for a world record before Ruth Chepngetich slowed to allow Sifan Hassan to win in 2:13:44 - the second fastest women's marathon of all time and new course record. In the wheelchair races, Marcel Hug and Catherine Debrunner set new course records in their marathon races.World Record SMASHED at Berlin Marathon
The Berlin Marathon is built for records and the 2023 Berlin Marathon cements its reputation as the one best suited for world record attempts and successes. Tigst Assefa's record brings the world record back to Berlin where it resided until the world record moved to Chicago and London beginning in 2001. This is the third time the women's World Record has been set in Berlin. The men's world record in the marathon has resided in Berlin since 2003 - currently Eliud Kipchoge's 2:01:09 set at the 2022 Berlin Marathon - and in total the men's world record has been set in Berlin an incredible nine times.

Most readers have experienced or heard of the term 'bonking'. For marathoners, if this occurs (i.e. extreme fatigue and slowing of pace), it typically happens at or around 20 miles in a marathon. Though insufficient training, i.e. lack of volume, speed, and race-specific speed, can certainly be a cause, the most common cause is often over-looked...
Like most things in exercise science (as well as life!), too much of one thing can have a negative impact on performance. For those who place stretching above all else, the balance of the length-tension relationship of a muscle can be thrown off. In other words, by gaining range of motion they have lost power...
Strides are short accelerations aimed to help loosen the body up, improve muscle coordination, and overall strengthen the gait.
