Side by Side Comparison each time Kiplimo broke the half marathon world record.

The left side is during the Barcelona Half Marathon in Feb 2025. He ran this one is 56:42; however, this was not ratified due to drafting concerns.

The right side is the most recent one during the Lisbon Half Marathon in March 8 2026. He ran this in 57:20 with NO pacers.

The ankle is SUPPOSED to pronate and move.
-
Above is an example of a client I have been working with who had been dealing with chronic, persistent left ankle pain (peroneal tendinopathy).

In the left video, she is currently dealing with that left ankle pain as she runs.

When you compare it to the right, it actually moves less.

However, this is a subconscious protective strategy to prevent further left ankle pain.

During the right clip, she is no longer dealing with pain in that left ankle as she runs.

You can see it moving more side to side and this is not a bad thing.

The pronation (specifically calcaneal eversion) allows you to absorb and store forces more into the connective tissue, commonly, the plantar fascia, which is potential energy to help you move forward.

You should also pay attention to the hip control as the foot moves under the body. There is more control of the hip in the "after" video.

By the way, there were no specific cues given for the hip and ankle in this case.

This happened at the subconscious level.
-
Now, I did want to mention that you may note that she is wearing different shoes as this can influence how you run.

However, when watching her run with the Topo Phantom (right side) initially, she was still stiff in that foot… and still had some pain.

If you are curious why I recommended a change in shoe, I want a slightly higher heel drop to offset the heel and reduce compression on the painful peroneal tendon.

Jacob Kiplimo breaks the world record again…clocking a 57:20 half marathon.
-
It is AMAZING to see this after his last attempt was not ratified from things outside his control.

You guys requested it, so here it is! Suguru Osako, the japanese national marathon record holder, as he runs in the Tokyo Marathon (2:05:59)
-
This was not his fastest time; however, we get some pretty good footage of him running.

As I have mentioned before, your running technique is influenced by your body.

A good example of this is watching how Usain Bolt (100m world record holder) vs. Su Bingtian (fastest 100m sprinter in Asia).

Things like limb length and characteristics play a role here.

As I always say, while it is always interesting to point out differences, it is also great to appreciate the similarities.

If you want more of an in-depth analysis on Osako or any other runner, just let me know!

Your environment influences how you run.
-
You can appreciate this by watching Kilian Jornet, one of the great ultra runners.

Pay attention to not only how the legs move, but also the torso.

If you are a more in depth explanation on this, please comment below!

How you move your arms can change how you move your legs
-
This applies in both directions.

However, in this particular situation, we tried other ways to cue initially like changing the cadence/step rate.

And when trying any cues related to the legs, she would freeze up and get rigid.

However, when we focused on cuing the arms instead, her running felt easier along with the quality (based on metrics we track utilizing the motion sensor belt on her).

Since working together we have went from being injured... to just trying to run a 5k without pain... TO running multiple half marathons without issues.

There is still plenty to address from a biomechanics lens as you will note other things happening, such as limited ability to stabilize on the right hip along with the externally rotated foot on the left side.

However, she has come a long way!

80 year old breaking the 1 mile indoor world record!
-
I thought this would be a fun one to showcase.

I'll be curious about your thoughts!

Joshua Cheptegei breaking the 10000m world record
-
He ran this in 26:11 in 2020.

I wanted to give a view of his running from multiple angles.

I'll continue to be curious on what he acheives as he focuses on the marathon.

Sam Ruthe running the outdoor mile in 3:53.83🤯
-
This was insane to watch.

The following week, he ended up running the indoor mile in 3:48.88.

I decided to using this footage to showcase his running because there are better views from this outdoor race.

The FASTEST half marathon...but not the official world record
-
The lead car should have moved faster, so this could be an official world record🤦🏻‍♂️

Jacob Kiplimo ran this half marathon with a time of 56:42

Unfortunately, this is not considered the official world record due to drafting assistance from the lead car being too close.

This is quite frustrating as this was outside Kiplimo’s control, but definitely within the control of the lead car.

Hopefully, we get to see Jacob Kiplimo come back and officially break the half marathon world record.

Correction: “*lightly* stabbed”💀

Navigating running injuries is FRUSTRATING, especially when you have put so much time into preparing for a race.

As runners, we tend to “play down” our injuries and symptoms.

We hope that it will get us back to running sooner.

However, this may lead to a more aggressive plan that may exceed what the body should be doing at the current moment.

And end up leading to a slower recovery.

As clinicians working with runners, we also tend to do the SAME when helping a runner through the injuries.

We may be “overly” optimistic to help gain the runner’s trust initially.

However, when expectations do not match reality, the runner may end up being more frustrated in themselves as things are “taking longer than they should.”

The best outcomes come from:

Transparency from BOTH the runner and the clinician.

Giving accurate information will help map out the best way to navigate the injury based on the runner’s short-term and long-term goals.

Clear communication is key!
