    Jakob Kiplimo just after running 26.40 at the San Silvestre Vallecana in Madrid to take 4 seconds off Leonard Komen’s old mark.

    It won't get ratified as a World Record unfortunately because the course is downhill andd point to point. Kiplimo is an absolute star of the future though, be unreal to see him and Kipruto give the track a real go.

    My bad, never took the course profile into account before posting. Still an unbelievable run.
