Duncan Kibet Does His Best Shiva Impression in Rotterdam

By Blaine Moore on Monday, April 6th, 2009 | No Comments

This weekend saw a lot of great racing, with at least 10 runners below 2 hours and 7 minutes in races around the world. Six of them were in Paris alone! Most impressive, of course, is Duncan Kibet and James Kwambai‘s 2:04:27 marathon in Rotterdam, where Kibet just edged Kwambai as both ran a time [...]

Haile Gebrselassie Runs 2:02:37 at Marathon Des Sables in Morocco!

By Blaine Moore on Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 | 13 Comments

Having broken the world record in the marathon a couple times over the past few years, you had to expect that Haile Gebrselassie was going to be doing something special again in the next few. Who could have expected, though, that after breaking 2 hours and 4 minutes just last September that he would be [...]

Jenn Stuczynski set the American Indoor Pole Vault Record at the Boston Indoor Games last night at 15′ 9.75″ and then attempted to set a new world record. Here is the result of each of her jump from the video I shot at the meet:

Josh Cox Sets US 50k Record

By Blaine Moore on Monday, January 19th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Despite feeling ill and being unable to keep liquids down for over 1/3 of the race, Josh Cox still managed to set the American mark in the 50k in 2:47:17. That beats Alex Tilson‘s 2:51:48 set back in 2002, but was a bit short of Thompson Mugwana‘s 1988 world record time of 2:43:38. Cox ran [...]

Haile Gebrselassie Falls Short Of Marathon Record With 2:05:29

By Blaine Moore on Friday, January 16th, 2009 | 2 Comments

Rain thwarted Haile Gebrselassie in his attempt to break his own world record in the marathon this morning in Dubai. He set the world record at 2:03:59 last year in Berlin, but went out a bit too fast in the first 10k in his attempt to break the record at Dubai in 2008. This year, [...]

This Week Last Year: Travel, Dogs & Marathon Records

By Blaine Moore on Saturday, September 27th, 2008 | No Comments

It was a light week this week last year. I began the week by discussing how effective body weight exercises are when traveling. This was the final article of the month on training and travel in collaboration with Scott. I collected my best tips as well as what other people with the article about what [...]

This Week Last Year: 100m & 5k & 50k

By Blaine Moore on Saturday, September 13th, 2008 | No Comments

This week last year centered on racing, covering distances from the 100 meter to the 50 kilometer. First, Asafa Powell set a new 100 meter world record in Rieti, Italy with his time of 9.74 seconds. He has since run faster than that, but no longer holds the record. Second, the Back Cove Weekly Race [...]

The Armchair Olympics Update

By Blaine Moore on Sunday, August 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment

This has been a jam-packed weekend; there was a lot going on! If only NBC actually broadcast the races, I’d be all set. I’d sit there and watch commercial after commercial. First, the women’s marathon. I almost cried when Deena Kastor broke her foot barely 3 miles into the race. Magdalena Lewy Boulet made it [...]
