Maybe it is just time to quit…
Rhonex Kipruto from Kenya recently broke the 10K and 5K road world records in the same race! 26:24 and 13:08 (almost twice as fast as I can run… ) The first 5K of the course was also certified for a WR. Check out Rhonex Kipruto at the Valencia Ibercaja race in Spain.
Maybe I need to go to Valencia to run a race…
