- As she’s climbed through the ranks of American marathoning, Emma Bates has employed a trademark strategy.

She starts calmly, then runs her own race, with what her coach Joe Bosshard calls “methodical patience.” Then, quietly-when hardly anyone is watching-she works her way through the competition, finishing with impressive strength (second on a hot day in the 2021 Chicago Marathon, say, or seventh in a then-personal-best 2:23:18 at the 2022 World Championships).
But the Boulder-based 30-year-old arrived in Hopkinton on Monday planning a different approach: Start fast, and stay that way.
The switch resulted in an impressive fifth-place finish in Boston today. She crossed the line in 2:22:10-5:26 pace, a personal best by more than a minute, and just 8 seconds off Shalane Flanagan’s American course record of 2:22:02, set in 2014. She takes home $18,000 in prize money for the feat.

Que gran atleta hizo muy buen trabajo
Leading is never good unless if you lead with a big margin like Lemma his first half was 1:00:21 and the pack behind by 2 min. Great you made 5th though!
If it were not for Emma, I would stop watching after the 1/2 way point.
Well darn, Helen Obiri isn’t good enough for you.
@@chicnoir29 The men's race was really a shocker.
@@obscurelyvague -Yes I agree. I think everyone bet Kip would destroy the other runners. I think Kip may have overtrained.
