BOSTON MARATHON RACE REVIEW 2022
BOSTON MARATHON RACE REVIEW 2022
This is a roundup of what was a very eventful 2022 Boston marathon.
Written Boston Marathon 2022 report:
The Boston marathon is always one of the most iconic marathon majors and it’s traditionally where we get to see new team kits and some new shoes (Shalane’s Alphafly from last year). This year was no different. As we saw the major debut of the extremely underwhelming Nike kit… (Show kit) and some new super shoes! (Puma and saucony) That’s always somewhat exciting and more of a reason for me to justify spending even more money on running things I certainly don’t need.
One thing Boston always promises is extremely high calibre fields. This year was no different with; 23 runners’ sub 2:10 and 13 runners with 2:06 or under. In the Women’s race this theme continued with 7 runners 2:20 or under and Olympic gold medallist Peres Jepchirchir and Olympic bronze medallist Molly Seidel both in the field.
There’s also some outstanding prize money with consideration to running as a whole; $353,000 for both the Men’s and Women’s races.
Cj Albertson did what he is becoming known to do. Take the race from the gun, with an opening 5K of 14:55. Setting himself up for sub 2:06. With most runners not quite committing that early on.
Firstly the coverage was horrendous, I was trying to keep track of the women’s race but pretty much had to follow the live tracking on the website throughout, which to my surprise Molly Seidel wasn’t on. The Women’s first 5K was much more conservative of 17:40, which is just under 2:30 Pace
Going through 10K CJ Albertson had really set his stall out at the front, going through in 29:38, which is pretty much 2:05 flat pace…
The women went through through 10K in 34:21, Which put them closer to mid 2:20 pace rather than the slower start. From there Jepchirchir and Jepkosegei started to push the pace a lot which soon began to filter out the field.
At the half marathon point a group of 20 men went through in 63:24. With Scott Fauble going through in 64:26.
In the Women’s it was a different story with Jepkosgei, Jepchirchir and Yeshaneh breaking the field apart with 1:09:41, 39 seconds ahead of the chase group.
Between 35K and 40K Chebet won the race after dropping a staggering 13:55?! This gave Chebet a straightforward road to victory with a finishing time of 2:06:51, 30 seconds ahead of second Cherono. The fastest American on the day was Scott Fauble who actually evenly split his race running 2:08:52 the exact first and 2nd half
At some point in the 2nd Half of the race, one of the pre podium favourites Molly Seidel pulled out. However, we don’t have information for the reason of that yet.
Last 1.5 mile Yesaneh took to the front with the two leading women seeming to clip eachothers heels. But Jepchirchir decided to go with around 1500m and Yesaneh instantly started glancing behind to see what she had to do in order to maintain second. But some Bizarre turn of events Jepchirchir suddenly fatigued where the gap then closed again and Yesaneh took the lead yet again. Then Yesaneh missed her turn and was dropped 10m. Then Yesaneh caught up and went to the front. And then Jepchirchir kicked again, and then Yesaneh went into the lead again. Then Jepchirchir somehow put in another kick to pull away. This is honestly the strangest end to a race I have ever seen.
So that’s 353,000 dollars each for Chebet and Jepchirchir. Also shoutout to reed fischer on running sub 2:11. You can follow his full story on Tinman Elite’s youtube channel.
Also a Huge congratulations to Edna Kiplagat who shattered her own master’s World record running 2:21:40 at 42 years old.
