 absolutely unbelievable wrapping up the 2019 London Marathon live here in the studio I've been standing for the last three hours so I'm a little tired and my my voice is a little hoarse because I was commenting live on the I watched the entire race men and women I'm gonna break it down for you right now and yes if you're new make sure you hit the subscribe button down below this is a daily running vlog channel I publish a new running vlog every single day so make sure you hit that subscribe button it was amazing absolutely epic what a race and let's break down the women's field first the women's elite field first it went out at a good a good pace but it wasn't blazing fast unlike last year at the 2018 London Marathon when Mary Katani took it out crazy fast trying to chase down a world record it was not like that this year by the way I should mention the temperatures seem to be really good in like the 50s degrees Fahrenheit range so not too hot not too cold according to reports on the ground and basically let's see so Mary Katani was never in the lead for a while it was Vivian Chariot Bridget Coskay and Rosa Dorej and Gladys Chirono those were cut that was kind of the lead pack for quite a while then at some point Vivian and Bridget so both from Kenya Vivian Chariot and Bridget Coskay broke away and then eventually Bridget Coskay from Kenya who took second place at the 2018 London Marathon she ended up putting the pedal down around I would say about mile 20 so about six miles to go she 10k to go she really put a surge in and ended up breaking Vivian Chariot but Chariot did fight back a little bit but ended up fading even more and so here you go third place Rosa Dorej of Ethiopia in two 2051 all right great time for Rosa Dorej and moving on to Vivian Chariot she was last year's champion she finished in second this year so base in 2014 to 2014 so she almost broke into the teens but not quite and then last year so basically from 2018 to 2019 first and second place swapped positions how cool is that like Bridget so Bridget Coskay Coskay is 25 so she's young so she's got a lot of marathon racing ahead of her so she ran as the 2019 London Marathon champion to 1820 to 1820 so overall on the women's race it was it was an exciting race not quite as exciting as the men's race we're gonna get to that in just a second but oh I'd say that they they battled I was a little surprised that Mary Katani didn't stick her nose in it a little bit more so she finished in fifth behind Chirono Gladys in or Gladys Chirono in fourth so Mary finished with a two 2058 and again Bridget Coskay in two 1820 and apologize if I'm not pronouncing the names correctly and then the first American with her American debut two 20308 for Emily Sisson oh my goodness I believe that is the second fastest American debut at the marathon distance in in US history Emily Sisson watch out this is her marathon debut and then okay I so the lady who took the race out fast she finished in 22411 that's a PR for her she is from Australia she died diver so anyway and I think she's originally from Ireland I don't know her whole story but anyway Emily Sisson congrats 223 08 for an opener and I will just mention yeah I okay the first great Britain runner was Charlotte Perdue with a 225 38 solid time I don't know where that ranks for her as far as PRs alright so that's the women's field it was exciting moving on to the men's field how do I even begin to break this down um basically it was a pack of 12 for a long time a pack of 12 and I would say it started to break up I'm just trying to read replay it in my mind probably around oh I want to say like mile 16 to 18 it roughly don't quote me on that but I'm just trying to go off a memory where it probably went from 12 down to you know maybe 8 to 10 and for the entire race Mo Sir Mo Farah from Great Britain he was never up front so you know who was up front the entire race setting not setting the pace but well yeah setting the pace but the pace so there were three Pacers at the front of the men's of the men's race and they were they were leading Kipchoge let me just pull up the names here Kipchoge, Geremu, Wasuhun, Kitara, Tola, Abdi, Gebra Salasi they were basically led by these three Pacers but Kipchoge of course was right right behind the Pacers I just don't know if anybody is if everyone's just a little like they just respect Kipchoge so much that they won't go ahead of him but he was right there in front the entire time and Mo Farah was at the back of that lead pack basically he was in 12th place for most of the race and then when the pace started to pick up especially at about mile 20 so 10k to go 6 miles to go that's when a gap was made from 10 meters to 50 meters to eventually it ended up being about 400 meters from the lead pack well it actually it got bigger than that but for a while Mo was about 400 meters back from the top five so in the top five with let's say let me just think here with about five to six K to go it was Kipchoge, Geremu, so Kipchoge from Kenya and so it was Kipchoge the one Kenyan and then there was four Ethiopians around him and not in front not on the side just like a like a flat it's like right around him and so it was Mosanet, Geremu, Mule, Wasuhun, Tola, Katara and then it was one more I think it was yeah Tamarat, Tola those were those were the four Kenyans around around Kipchoge and at mile oh man well twice I saw on the screen Kipchoge be like okay you want to race let's go meaning like come up and race with me don't just sit on my shoulder or sit behind me and make me do all the work once the Pacers dropped off Kipchoge twice I saw him go like okay come on let's do this like let's race and none of them really none of them really could I think go ahead of him even if they wanted to so they basically Geremu sat on Kipchoge shoulder for I would say two miles at least just sat right on his shoulder right behind his left shoulder and it looked like Kipchoge looked a little not mad but he looked like he at later in the race he was eventually smiling like he always does but at a certain point he almost looked a little annoyed that there wasn't a little more a little more jockeying like basically somebody coming up to run right next to him or but at the same time like who's gonna challenge him right so anyway that's a little bit how the men's race played out and then with one K to go 1500 meters approximately boom drop the hammer boom there goes Kipchoge it was I want to say it was about a K to go I could be wrong on that it was around there he got a bottle took a drink threw it down and boom Geremu could not go with him and I called it though I did say that when there was four Ethiopians around Kipchoge I said Geremu is going to go with Kipchoge and sure enough he was the last one to survive and go with Kipchoge to the finish line so here you go Kipchoge your 2019 London Marathon winner in 202 37 what and second place not far behind Mozanet Geremu who I believe is 27 so he's a lot younger than Kipchoge in 202 55 two guys under 203 at the London Marathon that my friends is a big deal this course is fast but it's definitely not as fast as Berlin probably not quite as fast as Chicago so anyway two guys under 203 that is a big deal watch out for Mozanet Geremu from Ethiopia who ran I mean he was less than 20 seconds behind Kipchoge so they were they were close I mean right up until the last K basically and but I mean Kipchoge looks so smooth I don't think anybody was gonna out kick him and then in third place Mule Wasahun in 203 16 which I think was about a two-minute PR for him from the Amsterdam Marathon last October in 2018 so huge shout out so it went Kenya Ethiopia Ethiopia Ethiopia Great Britain so Mo Farah finished in fifth in 205 39 all right and then a little shout out to Callum Hawkins who ran 208 14 a huge comeback for him after last year and that was I believe about a four minute PR for Callum Hawkins who is also from Great Britain that was amazing what a race a race seriously for the ages I mean listen Kipchoge's not getting any younger I think he has a lot of marathons that left in him I I mean I would say at least three years of solid high high-end marathons but it was really special to watch him oh my goodness I forgot to mention this is his fourth victory at London that is I believe yeah he's the first male ever to win London four times absolutely amazing congrats to Elliot Kipchoge to the 2019 London marathon what a race thank you all for
