Most notably, Paula Radcliffe’s near-unreachable 2:15:25 was going to be removed as the world record, with [...]

Women Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Run With The Boys

By on Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 | 9 Comments

Not according to the IAAF anyway, which is the sport’s international governing body. They currently have a motion in place to invalidate all world records for women who ran in “mixed” races that included men.

By on Friday, August 28th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Dathan Ritzenhein had the race of his life tonight, running what was until tonight only 0.02 seconds behind the world’s leading 5k time of the year.

Tyson Gay Ran a 9.75 second 100m Prelim at the US Championships

By on Friday, June 26th, 2009 | 1 Comment

In another wind-aided run of 100 meters, Tyson Gay ran (as I like to put it) not quite slow to finish in 9.75 seconds. That’s the 7th fastest 100 meters ever run under any conditions, although it is not eligible for the record books given the assist from Mother Nature. He only ran the first [...]
