I founded the site in 1997 as a hobby because of my interest in running and athletics. I had no idea it would survive this long. Thanks to those who have followed the site over the years.   January 17, 2024 [Links load in new window] We had a temporary SSL Security Certifiate issue for a few houras today. It has been fixed.   January 1, 2024 [Links load in new window]   December 27 2023 [Links load in new window] Unfortunately my recovery has not been what I would have liked it to be. I will not be able to resume updatining the site until February.   December 1, 2023 [Links load in new window] Finally came home after 2 months in hospital. I sill have restricted mobility. The current plan is to have the Runner's Web back in full opertaion by January 1, 2024.\ Nothig could have prepared me for he impact of Open Heart surgery. I felt like I had been run over by a big truck. When I woke up in the ICU and kept asking the nurse I was alive! She replied, "Ken you were alive 10 minutes ago when you first askd me and you will be alive 10 minuts from now.' I lost 10 pounds from my pre-suegrey weight   October 4, 2023 [Links load in new window] I was admitted to the Heart Institue at Ottawa's Civic Hospital Tueday evening for a battery of heart tests. The probability is that I will be having open heart surgery soon. Depending on the scheduling of surgery there will not be any updates to the Runner's Web until (hopefully) I am recovered.   October 3, 2023 [Links load in new window] (daily Nation) Athletics: Why it will take 'years' for women's marathon record to be broken Jepchirchir and Obiri reckon that even though defending Ruth Chepng'etich (PB 2:14:18) is in the fast field heading for the Chicago Marathon this Sunday, a world record is unlikely (Capital FM) Athletics: Why El Nino could be a blessing or curse for StanChart Nairobi Marathon The chairman of the StanChart Nairobi Marathon admits they are worried about the El Nino rains disrupting this year’s edition of the annual road race, to be held on October 29 along the Southern Bypass (Newsweek) Women in Sport: Swimming World Cup's Plan for Transgender Athletes Backfires BalancedRunner) Athletics: Tigst Assefa Berlin Marathon 2023 World Record Running Form Analysis Athletics: Olympian Anne-Marie Comeau Pursuing a Fast Time at TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon Five years have passed since Anne Marie Comeau represented Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics and now she has returned to her first passion, running (Washington Examiner) Women in Sport: Athletic leaders and coaches need to stand up for the truth (USTFCCCA) Athletics: 2023 NCAA DI Women’s Cross Country Regional Rankings – Week 3 2023 NCAA DI Men’s Cross Country Regional Rankings – Week 3 (USTFCCCA) Athletics: M-F Athletic National Athletes of the Week (Daily Mail) Women in Sport: Swimming World Cup's 'open' races for transgender swimmers are scrapped after NOBODY entered following ban on them competing in female events * World Aquatics last year announced a new category for transgender athletes * The 'open' races were axed after no entries were received for the World Cup * Despite a lack of interest, it'll still look to include an open category in the future (The Star) Athletics: Rare Latvia defeat won't dampen Kipyegon's spirit * Kipyegon, who holds world records in the women’s 1500m and the mile race, said she is glad to bring her season to a close with a bronze medal * The Kenyan track sensation said she would take a break to spend time with her family before she returns to limber up for the new season (Pulse Sports) Athletics: Kenyan-born Bahraini Winfred Mutile Yavi bags handsome amount from winning two gold medals at Asian Games Makueni-born Winfred Mutile Yavi is set to boost her bank balance after clinching gold medals in 1,500m and 3,000m steeplechase for Bahrain at the Asian Games (The Guardian) Athletics: Chinese censors block ‘Tiananmen’ image of athletes hugging Picture of athletes’ ‘6/4’ race numbers erased in perceived reference to 1989 massacre (Daily Mail) Women in Sport:Fury as Maine high school sophomore transgender runner, 16, dominates girls' races and rises to 4th in rankings -
