Chicago Marathon today, on Eurosport 1, think the women's pacer is pacing a World Record attempt.

Thanks for flagging it up pal, hadn’t realised it was on.

Yeah starts 13:15-13.30 UK time.

Should be a fast one. Not sure any of the men are in shape to take Kiptum's record but the women's race could be really quick.

Chepngetich is flying in the women's race. Broke the 20km world record for the first 20km of the marathon.

Will smash the marathon WR if she keeps this up.

First women in history under 2 hours 10 minutes, destroyed the old world record.

She's still running and striding out afterwards to celebrate, unbelievable.

Shouldn't be the way we think but it's so quick it'll almost certainly raise a few eyebrows.
