Have to love the unbiased local commentators on this race, so blinkered in their view. “ the only person who can beat Monson is Monson” not quite right it seems
@@sharonb537 to be fair, McColgan is normally a front-runner setting the pace. So I'd suggest Monson was trying to beat McColgan at her own game and gallantly failed to take the win.
Eilish McColgan breaks the British 10K record on the way to training for the marathon. This is great. Also, Monson ran a fantastic race, taking big time off her personal best and breaking the North American record for 10K ... and she's still just 24 years old.
Thanks for posting this. The commentary was excellent; and the split screen so we could watch the two leaders and the four chasers should be the standard for all long distance coverage! Really excellent job.
Throughout most of the race it was apparent from McColgan's stride that she had a lot more to give, she was kinda doing a hopping/bouncing stride and not really stretching those long legs of hers, it was only at the last moments that she unleashed the true length of her stride. Well done to both, some great battles in the future.
I've always been impressed with her stride. It's not quite what it was due to metal plates in her foot from an old injury but it's still great - her running economy is great even compared to the elites.
Many thanks guys. This was a fantastic video, excellent commentary team with lap times details and equally fantastic split screen video. Thanks again. Just a gentle reminder... there is no such thing as "Professional Grade". Once past the various age groups (last one being U 20), the next grade up is "Open Grade". If the athlete is getting paid/sponsored, well good for them but it means nothing to the competition level. If the athlete is "good enough", they get invited to compete or qualify for the big events. Olympics, World Games, Big competitions, National/State/Provincial/Club etc. All this NCAA/College stuff only applies to the USA. No other Countries even have College/University Track athletic competitions. College/University's in the rest of the world are places of academic study, not playing sports. That's why no other Universities outside the USA offer any Sports scholorships. Yes, there are excellent athletes in your College grade, particularly in sprinting but that is NOT the top grade: that's Open Grade. Also, NCAA College athletes have an age restriction of 18-25 (I think) and middle-long distance athletes normally don't hit their lifetime peaks until late 20's even early 30's. Meaning runners like Alicia Monson and many other US runners will have a great future ahead of them. Brilliant middle distance youngsters at NCAA level, like Katelyn Tuoy who is 20, have at least 5 years of development before they reach top international standard in Open Grade. Anyway, thanks again for a wonderful video.
I was in the stadium when McColgan's mum won the Commonwealth in Edinburgh. It's uncanny how similar they look and how similar their styles are. There is something rather remarkable in the McColgan family gene pool.
Sensational performances, they didn't just beat records, they smashed them. Looked like there is plenty more to come from this outstanding group of athletes, too. Commentators were excellent, working in difficult conditions, but sadly uncredited here. McColgan looks like she's geared up for something spectacular at the London marathon, so strong for lap after lap, and when she put down the pedal, wow
I am a huge fan of Alicia , as well as Eilish - this was amazing ! I just can’t wait to see if Alicia can sit back / kick out the end !!! I’ll be rewatching it many times! So excited for the upcoming outdoor season ! Also-- Josette made a great choice joining ON imo, she just looks so super determined
Is this the first outdoor event for these athletes? Seems like we just finished the indoor season this weekend. Great to see some outdoor racing. Looking forward to an exciting season ahead for so many teams.
Great performance by the top 2. McColgan's going to be in mean marathon form based on this race. Monson took TEN SECONDS off the American record and didn't win. That's incredible.
McColgan just sat there and then unleashed the beast in the final lap like she does. Did the commentators even mention she’d won the 2022 Commonwealth Games 10,000m and came second in the European Champs? She’s on fire.
McColgan stands at 5'11", very tall for a female runner at any distance beyond 3000 meters. However, she only weighs around 120 lbs. so she's lighter than some of the shorter women. Her legs are also long so her stride is long.
Great race, but there's a whole carnage of that track... photographers, random people crossing the track, even the people holding the finish line nearly bumping into McColgan... anyway, great PB Eilish!!
Looking back at the coverage of her mother winning the 1991 World Championship 10,000 . I'd say that Elish runs like a taller version of her mother . Same style .
Seems like the commentators had very little idea who Eilish McColgan is or what her CV looks like. "Maybe someone can do something special or have a huge drop" to beat Alicia 🤔
Kind of satisfying to see Ailish McColgan finally decide, in her thirties, that she can win. Her mind seems to have finally caught up with her ability. To the lady commentator: the "L" comes before the "G" in McColgan's name. How can you not hear how your partner is pronouncing it?
Respect to all these women running in this event. My PB was 36 minutes for 10k and i thought i was good back in 1984. Now at 62 i couldnt beat 95 seconds for 1 lap. I know its all relative, nevertheless, these are all elite classy athletes. Go girls!
The bit that really frustrated the bejesus out of me was the i-lish mcoglan…. Like, wtf guys.. get it right will you…. That being said, this style of commentating and coverage far outstrips the tired and old style of the BBC!
@@d1gga383 I’ve every respect for Paula Radcliffe’s achievements on the track and road and for having squeezed out every last drop of talent she had but my god that voice! That droning humourless fountain of all wisdom voice. I never imagined such a thing was possible but I think listening to Paula’s urgent stream of breathless insights is actually more tedious than listening to Sally Gunnell at trackside.

Very low body fat percentage, but I don't think you can run world class times in athletics while being malnourished. They eat more calories than the normal person, they just also burn a lot more calories too.
@@jakobjas4212 - Perhaps. Hopefully true for the majority, but unlikely. Eating disorders run (no pun intended) rampant in that community, amongst other sports. My best friend was an elite runner and was anorexic for years. Her digestive system is forever damaged. Praise God she survived.
Video quality is atrocious for this day and age. Looked like it was made in 1995. Invite me and my crew (no cost except that I get to post on my channel) and I can bring you into the 21st century (no livestreaming though as affordable technology is not there yet).
She's definitely not as smooth of a runner as Monson but like you said, obviously it works for her because she won. Pretty sure my gate would look a lot worse if I was running their pace. haha!
Sorry- but I hope the British runner was drug tested after this race. Unfortunately, this kind of performance will always raise the suspicions of those of us who ran track and follow it. And we are to believe that she dropped 48 seconds off her 2022 best time on natural ability at the age of 32-- really? A sad day for all the athletes that ran this clean... and that would include Alicia Monson.
Just FYI Eilish McColgan (born 25 November 1990)[2][3] is a Scottish middle- and long-distance runner. She is the 2022 Commonwealth Games 10,000 metres champion with the Games record, and 5000 metres silver medallist. McColgan is a four-time European Championships medallist, winning silver medals for the 5000 m in 2018 and 10,000 m in 2022, bronze in the 5000 m in 2022, and a bronze for the indoor 3000 metres in 2017. She is the European record holder for the 10 km road race, and the British record holder for the 5000 m, 10,000 m, 5 km and half marathon. She also holds the European best in the 10 miles on the roads.
Yes incredible running and a message to the poster of this comment. Try following World Athletics as well as US Athletics. Amazingly from amongst the 7 billion + people on the planet who are not from US there are some reasonably good athletes turning in reasonably good times and not all of them are on drugs. I’m an Americanphile but one of the great strengths of Americans which is believing everything American is better than everything else in the world is also one of their most annoying traits when it becomes a myopic point of view like this.
great race, congrats to McColgan, Monson, also to Elly Hennes and N Rogers, they still have some years before they peak. Too bad they did this race just before the NCAA indoors championship, it would have been nice to have some collegians run there.
Have to love the unbiased local commentators on this race, so blinkered in their view. “ the only person who can beat Monson is Monson” not quite right it seems
well, monson did beat monson's previous PR. What she didnt do was grind out the competition behind her while she was doing all the work.
@@sharonb537 to be fair, McColgan is normally a front-runner setting the pace. So I'd suggest Monson was trying to beat McColgan at her own game and gallantly failed to take the win.
It was all Monson, but then on the last lap Eilish took her apart.
Aww! I was hoping that that Mckolgan runner would’ve broken the 30 minute barrier. So close!
not in the same league...sorry @@johnmcguigan2724

She’s incredible! Her mum was too 🏃♀️
i think eilish should stay at 10k
Thanks for posting this. The commentary was excellent; and the split screen so we could watch the two leaders and the four chasers should be the standard for all long distance coverage! Really excellent job.
Congratulations! British & American Records for McColgan & Monson.

Father, Peter McColgan was a pretty handy runner too.
Eilish is my Birthday buddy and I got engaged on the day she was born and got married on the day her mum won the world 10000m title.
lol Jeff @ 23:01 "and it's Monson and McColgan, like a detective duo ... crime show." 😂
mcgolghan is just getting better and better, like a fine wine. she'll be a beast at the marathon 👊
Great stuff Sound Running! Awesome running ladies!
“The only person who can beat monson, is monson “ 😆
Eilish: get in line 😆
hold my tea
The commentators didn't do their homework. McColgan beat Monson a few years ago in the 10km at the Tokyo Olympics by almost 17 seconds.
" Monson We Only Have Eyes For You"
Best racing commentary in the game
Sensational performances, they didn't just beat records, they smashed them. Looked like there is plenty more to come from this outstanding group of athletes, too.

Her mum will be so proud of Eilish! We done 👏🏻
That was really awesome! Thank you fir sharing that.
Great race, brilliant finish, come on Eilish!
Amazing race! Thanks for the coverage.
Great peacemaking in that race ! Congratulations to all that set records ! Mcolgan looked in sub 30 minute form!
Fantastic race McColgan looking very impressive here 👌
31:04 Para Laurita Galván. Felicidades Gazela!
Go Cats!
Well done Elish Mccolgan . Great race
Wow! Such a great race!!
" the only person to beat Monson, is Monson".

OK.......that was pretty great. Thanx for posting.

It's the marathon season in Europe, so expect a few of these ladies were warming up
Great running by all 👍
HAVE NEW WORLD RECORD ?
Great performance by the top 2. McColgan's going to be in mean marathon form based on this race. Monson took TEN SECONDS off the American record and didn't win. That's incredible.
Remember when lapped runners would get out the way !!
What a performace, chapeau to both of them
Ellish is real world class now well done
What a race loved it , it appeared monson was running slightly wide? Would add up over 10 lkm
McColgan just sat there and then unleashed the beast in the final lap like she does. Did the commentators even mention she’d won the 2022 Commonwealth Games 10,000m and came second in the European Champs? She’s on fire.
The commentators don't have a clue what goes on outside the USA.
The commentators did mention ( 05:24 ) that McColgan won the 2022 Commonwealth games at 10,000 metres .
Her 10K win at the Commonwealth was one of the best track battles I've ever seen.
Brav0! Such grit~
The Wummin fae Scotland are different class.
Let's not talk about the recently departed fish woman who has brought Scotland to its knees.
Wow! thank you
What a champion !!👏👍🏆
OAC has a good program that's getting results.
I wonder why Galvan was not registering on the splits?
Great run from front 2 girls.
When my man was like “and McColgan’s still hanging on…” lol
Eilish playing her usual cat and mouse … those legs had so much more in them
McColgan stands at 5'11", very tall for a female runner at any distance beyond 3000 meters. However, she only weighs around 120 lbs. so she's lighter than some of the shorter women. Her legs are also long so her stride is long.
Did Monson really take 47 seconds off of her personal best? If that's true she can still improve her time and by plenty.
You don't say Sherlock!
@@iannibblett265 There are tall guys with short legs and shorter guys with long legs. I have a number of examples.
Well done McCoglan!
Anyone with even a mild interest in athletics knew who was gonna win that race yet it seems these commentators didn’t ?
Great race, but there's a whole carnage of that track... photographers, random people crossing the track, even the people holding the finish line nearly bumping into McColgan... anyway, great PB Eilish!!
Loved that
Great Race 👍🇬🇧
Agree with many comments here- really informed commentary and knowledgable,,,,but please get her name correct. McColgan NOT McCoglan
Is it my imagination or does Eilish run exactly like her Mum Liz?? Super athlete and the apple certainly did not fall far from the tree.
Looking back at the coverage of her mother winning the 1991 World Championship 10,000 . I'd say that Elish runs like a taller version of her mother . Same style .
Monson has an amazing running style..
Great race, Eilish was always favourite! It’s also A-Lish not Eye-Lish!
US commentators were just a tad biassed
What track is this in San Juan ... ok but what school track is this one?
Seems like the commentators had very little idea who Eilish McColgan is or what her CV looks like. "Maybe someone can do something special or have a huge drop" to beat Alicia 🤔
Its crazy Eilish is 5'11" and 117 lbs. I wonder what her body fat percentage is.
I was an agent for a Kenyan male runner who was 5’10 and 117 lbs and he was a twig!
Monson is so strong. If she gets a kick, she would win most races
Did they both not follow it up with injuries in 2024?
McColgan never won the Commonwealth games in Scotland she won it in Birmingham England.
Kind of satisfying to see Ailish McColgan finally decide, in her thirties, that she can win. Her mind seems to have finally caught up with her ability. To the lady commentator: the "L" comes before the "G" in McColgan's name. How can you not hear how your partner is pronouncing it?
McColgan has improved gait if you watch her previous years.
Respect to all these women running in this event. My PB was 36 minutes for 10k and i thought i was good back in 1984. Now at 62 i couldnt beat 95 seconds for 1 lap. I know its all relative, nevertheless, these are all elite classy athletes. Go girls!
McColgan couldn’t run that time without Monson pacing her.
I thought this was a joke. Back to YT home.
A-lish, not I-lish! The woman is a multi medallist at major champs. Know how to pronounce her blooming name!
The bit that really frustrated the bejesus out of me was the i-lish mcoglan…. Like, wtf guys.. get it right will you…. That being said, this style of commentating and coverage far outstrips the tired and old style of the BBC!

Who are these announcers who can’t pronounce either Eilish or McColgan
I think it's pronounced "eh" lish McColgan not "eye" lish. 🙂

It looks like she is kicking herself in the tush, which could be a motivator when you think about it.
Typical nasty Americans, just the reason I would never visit America , what is wrong with you people 😡
