In Vienna, Eliud Kipchoge ran a marathon in 1:59:40. It was the first time any human has ran that distance in under 2 hours. It was not a race (and therefore some argue it is not the actual world record), but it was an event organized by a team to see if he could do it. He had a team of pacers and a green laser to track his pace for the record time. IMHO, a remarkable feat regardless of the record books.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in Chicago, Brigid Kosgei won the women\u2019s marathon with a time of 2:14:04. Also setting a world record for women\u2019s marathon (no asterisk!).<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by these remarkable events, YHC set out to see if the F3WS PAX could qualify as support team members for the next \u201csub-2\u201d event. Here\u2019s how it went:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WARMORAMA<\/p>\n<p>Abe Vigoda x 5<\/p>\n<p>SSH x 10<\/p>\n<p>Merkins x 5<\/p>\n<p>Lap around Hanes Park.. Follow the green laser (because that keeps us on pace!).. finish at playground and enter the track to much awaited fanfare (in our minds!)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>THE THANG<\/p>\n<p>2:00 mins on and 1:00 min off<\/p>\n<p>ON is ~5k pace, OFF is mosey (not walking)<\/p>\n<p>REPEATO for 8 iterations, whistle signifies change<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bring Sally Up \u2013 Merkins version (2:00 ONLY)<\/p>\n<p>Mosey back to parking lot for COT<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>COT<\/p>\n<p>Un..fortunately the PAX did not keep up with the required 4:30 min\/mi pace needed for pacers to keep the record holder on track so we will not be invited to the next \u201csub-2\u201d event. Bummer. However, I do feel confident in that we could hoist the fast man more than 18-inches off of the ground when he crosses the tape. Which is more than his current support team can do. #RunnersArms #WeAllHaveOurStrengths<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ANNOUNCEMENTS<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Bedbug, a recently transplanted Natville PAX.
