Yes, I said the One Hour Run--run on a track!
I ran a few of those back in the day (all at Humboldt State's old 440 yard track!).
They were fun!
You run in circles until the timer yells "STOP!".
Each runner would stand where he/she stopped until the distance was recorded!
Chuck Smead--former 2:13 marathoner--ran 12 miles 307 yards--passing 10 miles in 49:15.
That was the Club record!
My best was 9 miles 1150 yards!
Anyway, the ELITES destroyed both WR's--Mo Farah and Sifan Hassan!
Farah's distance (in yards) was 13 miles and 446 yards--translated to 21,330 meters!
He probably passed the Half Marathon distance in about 59:25!
Sifan Hassan's yards distance was 11 miles 1341 yards!
Or 18,930 meters!
Her estimated Half time might have been 67:00!
Rashir Abdi was 2nd behind Farah, but just 8 meters back!!
He was ahead at 20K, and his 56:20.02 is the WR for that distance on a track!!
Lonah Chemtai was 2nd Woman with 18,571 meters, with Eva Cherono ending with 18, 341 meters in 3rd!
Loved that Hour Run stuff!!
BTW, that was during the esteemed Brussels DL!!
MASTER of the Pole Vault UNIVERSE--aka Mondo Duplantis--kept on pushing his Swedish fanny over some high bars!!
First at 19-8.50--breaking his own Age 20 Record in Stockholm's DL!
Then he was in Lausanne--for s street exhibition PV.
And yes, I'm supposing his Vault of 19-11 counts!!
Thus, he got Lausanne's MR, again broke his own Age 20 Record, as well his own Sweden National Record!
He's 2nd A-T World OUTdoors!
But here he got a bit of a scare!!
Sam Kendricks finally got his 2020 act together (He'd been at the 19-0.25 level!), and got the best ever 2nd Place mark with his clearance at 19-9!!
Faith Kipyegon took another shot at the WR for 1000 meters, but again fell short--this time in 2:29.92--but over 6 seconds ahead of 2nd place!
Karsten Warholm continues on his torrid path as the latter day version of Edwin Moses!
He got a PR, time of 46.87--just 0.09 short of Kevin Young's World Record!!
He gets his own Norway NR, and his own Age 24 Record, and remains 2nd A-T World!
It's also the Stockholm DL Meet Record!
Ryan Crouser didn't PR with his SP of 74-6.50--but he might have gotten the best ever 6 throw series!!
(Anyone know?)
He threw 73-0.75, then 74-6.50, then 74-5.75, followed by a 74-3, another 74-3, and ended with a toss of 73-7.50!!
WOW!
In a different meet, Nick Ponzio threw the SP 70-10.50!
Hughes Zango beat Christian Taylor in a good Triple Jump--a World Leading 57-2.25 to 56-10.75!
In different meets, Yaroslava Mahuchukh and Yuliya Levchenko got co-World Leading High Jumps of 6-6.75!
In Germany, Australian Nicole McDermott cleared 6-6!
Johannes Vetter threw the Javelin 298-1!
Some good Middle Distance marks--
Stockholm's Men's 1500 saw Tim Cheruiyot defeat Jakob Ingebrigtsen 3:30.25 to 3:30.74!
Australia's Stew McSweyn took 3rd in a PR of 3:31.48!
Laura Muir took the World Lead with her 1500 win in 3:57.86.
Back in 6th came Vet Shannon Rowbuty in 4:03.04, her fastest in 4 years!!
Donovan Brazier got his fastest OUTdoor 600 with his 1:15.07!
Puerto Rican Wes Vazquez was 2nd in 1:15.31.
Cory McGee got a PR in the two lapper with 2:00.16.
In 3rd was Steepler Emma Coburn with a PR of 2:01.10!
Jemma Reekie also PR'ed--in another meet--in a World Leading 1:58.63!
High Schooler Sophia Gorriaran also PR'ed--at 2:02.90--making her 11th A-T HS!!
Some sprint news--
Nadine Visser ran 12.68 for 100H, but 2nd placer Luca Kozak's 12.71 became the new NR of Hungary!!
In Jamaica, Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce sped the 100 in 10.86--the World Leader.
Finally, I want to give you ANOTHER Record that was NOT reported in my previous post---
Shannon Rowbury's 14:45.11 in the 5000 was the Age 35 Record!!
More to come!!
