Connor and Clayton need to hoop in the Valencia Marathon and knock the American record out. They could pace each other and almost treat it like a time trial.
Was just announced that The Sydney Marathon will become the 7th World Marathon Major (Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York & now Sydney) from 31 Aug '25 beating out Cape Town & Shanghai in the process.
Cape Town and Shanghai were not "racing" against Sydney. They still have a good ways to go before consideration. I ran Sydney a few weeks ago. Epic course, finish on the steps of the Opera House.
@@trishybriggs On this course, as marathon #3 for the year, heck yeah, it is! Running-wise, hard to complain about him and, as CJ said, the whole pack of current US marathoners.
No sportsmanship award for this guy. Listening to Clayton's own words, he makes it sound like if he beats Connor, they're no longer training partners and maybe not friends. It was worth it to let him win the Trials since he was with me every step leading up to Paris. That is a very close paraphrase. If this guy is such a sore loser, how does he live with all these other guys beating him? You know, the ones that he doesn't know nor train with and can't influence? Why doesn't he care just as much about them beating him as he does about Clayton Young?
so with you dude... watch the Clayton Young vlogs Mantz kills it in practice, then it seems all he can do in races is beat Clayton he seems to get off on beating Clayton Young or something he's got a lot going for him: good workouts, younger-end for marathon runners, good-looking guy ...but let's see some will to beat somebody beside Clayton Young
@mitchross871 Yeah, exactly. I don't want to bad mouth their running. Both great competitors and fast. But let's see you beat the best in the world. Or some of them. Or at least try to. If your career is based on you being 20 seconds ahead of your best friend, that's harder to admire.
You realize he was closer to the guy in front of him than Clayton was to him. And why do you care you realize Clayton was not running these times until Conner started training for the marathon, they are both benefiting from this. Get a life
He is the fastest American rn. He doesn't care if its Clayton or CJ or any other American. There is $$$$$ for top American. This is his JOB. Tough to beat some of the other guys that are so fast on the world stage (some maybe be juicing?). And let's face it, Clayton is not going to perform as well without Conner pacing him and pushing him in training/racing. Dude is a competitor. Has to be to be the best American and try to compete with the others in the world.
@jimoconnor8597 Why you are under the impression this race pays for 'Top American' is a mystery to me. You know who also doesn't pay for 'Top American'? Ed Eyestone for each rep In a workout. Yet he makes sure he is in front of Clayton on every one. It is very important to him. Clayton knows this and let him win the Trials as opposed to jeopardizing their relationship.
Congratulations

Conner JUST telling the truth, he didn't want anyone to catch him!

LOL A woman with no clue!!
Perhaps too fast in the first mile up the bridge
