    Best of luck Jmcmen, sounds like its going to be windy tomorrow!

    Any thoughts on the elite races anyone?

    Looking forward to seeing Luke Puskedra's marathon debut. Only 24 years old, 6 foot 4 and a shade over 10 stone!

    I think Kipsang and Keitany will win as long as they don't make any moves before 30k

    Live on Eurosport 2 tomorrow. Best of luck to anyone running it.

    According to accuweather, -1 in a strong northerly wind-chilling breeze at 9am NYC. Brrrrrrrrrr

    Ehhmm! Why did they just introduce Kenneisa Bekele as running today? And Kipyego for that matter?

    Loads dropping their clothes at the start line or just after it rather than to the side. Madness, someone is going to take a hopper. Also appears to be loads in wave 1 who shouldn't be there!

    Interloper leading out. He's going to suffer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭Netwerk Errer


    Men through 5k in 15:27. 4:59 pace

    Either the coverage on Eurosport is fantastic so far or I'm just comparing to what there was for Chicago.

    Just switched to Eurosport from ESPN\ABC and its worlds better. They had shown less than 10 minutes of the leaders when I switched!

    Caroline Wozniacki is also running this I think. She is up on the tracker. 8 min/m pace through 5km.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,304 ✭✭✭viperlogic


    Eurosport coverage for Amsterdam was great also if you wanted to follow the men. There probably wasn't even a total of 3 mins of coverage for the women! Good balance on Eurosport for NYC


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,141 ✭✭✭rom


    Its the ESPN 2 pictures. Coverage it good.

    Edna has picked up cadence after the water station. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets back on to the lead group.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,695 ✭✭✭Chivito550


    The 7online.com link has good coverage it must be said. Tim Hutchins commentating and loads of elite coverage.

    Think her longest run has been 13.1 in training. Could be interesting

    Loads about him on japanrunningnews.blogspot.com
    I think 5 of his first 6 marathons he ended up in the medical tent.

    He is a bit mad. He saved his head as he didn't go sub 2:08


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,199 ✭✭✭ooter



    They're always talking about him on the marathon talk pods.


  • Registered Users Posts: 142 ✭✭xElDeeX


    Mary Keitany rolls up (or throws off!) her sleeves and looks like she is ready to race.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,695 ✭✭✭Chivito550


    Enjoying this. Times out the window. A proper race in both men's and women's.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,776 ✭✭✭This Fat Girl Runs


    Watching this online for the second time (I watched it last year too). It's brilliant! Really enjoying it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭Netwerk Errer


    Kipsang is putting the foot down. Field's starting to stretch!!

    Far from making the same mistake as 2011. I couldn't see her for most of the first half she was tucked away so well in the pack.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,616 ✭✭✭overpronator


    The finish to the women's race is brilliant. Keitani biding her time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 142 ✭✭xElDeeX


    Exciting finish. Great debut by the third place girl!
