    Rhonex Kipruto smashed the world record at the 10k Valencia Ibercaja on Sunday (12), clocking 26:24* to win the World Athletics Gold Label road race.

    Kipruto’s half-way split of 13:18* was also an improvement on the 5km world record. His second half of 13:06 was even faster, although would not be eligible for ratification.

    Huge run also from Julien Wanders running 27.13. Wanders time is a European record, improving his own mark by 12 seconds.

    Kipruto is coached by Br Colm O Conell and is sponsored by Adidas
