He did it in the same shoes the marathon world record was set in too.

Did a double. 8.3 miles in the morning and 5.5 miles in the evening.

Got 12K in before heading down to my city's Summer Fair. Needed to burn some calories for the weird Fair food, just in case. But all I got was perogies, Italian seasoned chicken fingers & fries, a parmesan Cheetos covered pizza slice and a ice cream waffle. 

Got 32000 steps in today.

Saw that, amazing. Kejelcha is also former world record holder in the indoor mile and has run the second fastest marathon in history.

13 mile medium long run with 4 tempo miles tucked right into the middle.

Busy day at work. Just an easy 5K junk miles. 

BREAKING! 56:51! New Half Marathon WORLD RECORD!🏃�♂️😱 🔥
Yomif Kejelcha just ran 56:51 for the half marathon in Buenos Aires, putting himself back at the top of the all-time list.
The Ethiopian took 29 seconds off the 57:20 mark set by Jacob Kiplimo earlier this year. Kejelcha had previously held the record with 57:30 in Valencia in 2024.
His average pace was an astonishing 2:42 per kilometer (4:20 per mile) for 21.1 km.
The 56:51 is currently awaiting official ratification.

20 miles, with 3 easy to get going then about 13 easy moderate, and finishing with some tempo-pace work (2X2K at marathon pace). Felt pretty good today.

More or less back from the illness setback last weekend.

10.6 miles (17K) with 3K (half marathon effort), 2X 2K (10K effort), and 2X 1K (5K effort).

On the tail end of a down week in my half training and I'm feeling a bit bummed out for some reason.

I did a 2 mile warm up, hit the track for a solo 5k in 16:33, and did a 4 mile cool down. The track effort helped my confidence but man oh man I wish I had someone running my harder/faster runs with me that I could chase or run from.

Weather was ideal, mid 70sF and low humidity.
