🗣️"I wouldn't let past races define your whole running career. They can indicate something about your next race, but you don't want to rely on that too much. There are many people here in Japan who have done very similar things or even more. The guy who beat me in Osaka by two seconds (Taisei Kato) — his marathon debut was a 2:13, and he just ran a 2:07. I don't think there has to be some defined pathway of: run this 10K, run this half marathon, run this marathon time." My latest guest on The CITIUS MAG Podcast is Ethan Shuley and if you didn’t know his name as of a few weeks ago, you weren’t alone. But now, more people are paying attention since Shuley just ran 2:07:14 at the Osaka Marathon, becoming the 7th-fastest American ever on a record-eligible course.

Simbassa Ready For World Marathon Majors Debut In New York #TCSNYCMarathon @d9monti #RRW 📰 buff.ly/WSbnXoB

How Biya Simbassa Ran 2:06:53 At The Valencia Marathon To Become The Fourth-Fastest American Man In History 🇺🇸 Biya Simbassa (@Biya_simba35) was hoping to run the Chicago Marathon but his 2:10 personal best and 11th place finish at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials didn't get him a spot in the elite field. So he asked his agent @hawisports to see if he could get into the Valencia Marathon. Elite coordinator @marcroigtio got back and said Valencia's last pace group for the elite men would be targeting 2:06:30. Simbassa shifted some of his training to try his best to get close to that.

U.S. No. 4 all-time 👀 Abbabiyya Simbassa becomes just the fourth American man in history to ever dip below 2:07, running 2:06:53 for 17th at the Valencia Marathon. That's nearly a four-minute PR for Simbassa #ValenciaMarathon

Things we love to see from the Valencia Marathon 🇪🇸 • Edward Cheserek (@KINGCHEZZ) goes 2:05:24 (12th place) to lower his personal best from 2:11:07 from last year’s New York City Marathon. Quite the range to go along with his 3:49.44 mile personal best and 59:11 half marathon personal best. • With a 2:06:53 for 17th place, Abbabiya Simbassa (@biya_simba35) moves to No. 4 on the all-time U.S. men’s marathoning list and clocks the fastest performance by an American of 2024. Only Khalid Khannouchi (2:05:38), Galen Rupp (2:06:07) and Ryan Hall (2:06:17) are ahead of him now in American history. Earlier this year, Simbassa was 11th at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials. His marathon personal best coming into the day was 2:10:34 from his debut at the 2023 Prague Marathon. FLAGSTAFF VS. THE WORLD 🏴 📸 @HAASruns
