In the fastest marathon since the 2003 world record, Mary Keitany won the London Marathon in 2:17:01. It's the fastest time ever run by a woman without male pacers, as Paula Radcliffe's 2:15:25 world record--also run in London--had some male assistance. The previous women's-only world best was Radcliffe's 2:17:42, yet again in London, from 2005.

Say what else you will about the Nike Breaking2 Project, but you have to admit that as a brand promotion it has already been very successful. Even before one step has even been taken in the attempt to go sub-two hours over the marathon distance, a buzz has been created. Set to take off in early May on an 2.4K/lap oval race track in Monza, Italy, famous for hosting a Grand Prix and Formula One races, three men, one car, and two sets of four pacesetters will make the attempt. There are rumors that the car will be electronically controlled to go at 1:59:50 pace, 28:25/10km, and the three runners will be assisted by two sets of four pace runners going 5km on, 5km off.
