So Mike Wardian runs a 2:29 Indoor Marathon the week before The Barkely Marathons. But that is just the start, check out his upcoming schedule. Barkley (3/31 - 4/3), BAA 5K (4/15), BAA Marathon (4/17) & then the Big Sur Marathon (4/30) - I am tired and sore writing out that schedule.
Here is more info on the Indoor Marathon at the Armory New York run over 211 laps of a 200 meter track, now that is a lot of laps.

LetsRun.com article on the 2017 Men's World Cross Country Championships and the Women's race where Kenya takes it with a perfect score getting places 1-6. See below for video of Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda, remember the race was in Uganda, has a 12 second lead with 2K to go but in the last 1/2 mile goes from 1st to 30th. But the story is he stayed upright and by finishing Uganda got 3rd in the team competition by 3 points.
