💨 Abstract

Ugandan athlete Jacob Kiplimo set a new world record for the half-marathon with a time of 56 minutes 42 seconds in Barcelona, breaking the previous record by 48 seconds. This is the greatest single improvement on the men's world half-marathon record. Kiplimo's 5km split times suggest he could have set a new Parkrun record for every one of his four 5km splits.
