Chapter 329 The Major Marathons 3 (1/2)

”That's right, we always hope that maybe a record could be broken in a big marathon like this, and this year can really be possible because the best marathoner in the world today is participating in this marathon today.”

”With Jake Smith taking part in this race today we can expect him to perhaps win this marathon like almost every marathon he has participated in the last few years, this year Jake is 18 and still very young as an elite athlete so maybe he can still dominate the world of marathons for many years.”

”He sure is the best marathon athlete today, but I don't expect him to win today's marathon, not even two weeks since he participated and won the NCAA tournament final at college basketball.”

”Plus, with college basketball season being so hard and so many games I don't think he had time to train for marathons, so I think this time he could lose.”

”We'll have to follow today's marathon to see what will happen, after all, we have several talented athletes participating in today's marathon who can win even if Jake is running well.”

Soon the marathon started and Jake started running at his pace and tried to find several athletes who were running at the same pace as him at the start of the race to save his stamina and use less energy.

The winner of this marathon in his past life was António Pinto from Portugal with a great time of 2:07:55 which is less than 2 minutes from the world record that Jake achieved at the end of last year, so Jake would have to go well if he wanted to make sure the victory.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Jake was confident because his stats were better than the last marathon he ran in with a great time and contrary to what commentators said he didn't stop training even while playing several games in the season.

Over the past few months, Jake has learned a few things from Coach Davis, how he should move his arms and breathe while running to save more energy and some tricks for him to use in marathons.

Since Jake ran a marathon every day he trained, it was much easier for him to learn these things while training almost every day. In training, Jake had already confirmed how these things helped him after running many km.

The pace of the runners in London was good for the first few km and Jake could always find athletes near him so that he could save some stamina unlike US marathons, but there were no runners who wanted to run along with Jake in this marathon.

Runners in America did this to help him in the marathon and because everyone knew Jake always had a great running pace and elite athletes just had to gain by running along with him, but in London, it wasn't like that and Jake had to always find other groups to run.

After 15km of running it was harder for Jake to find groups of athletes running at the same pace as him and having to run more alone, Jake didn't know the race route either because it was his first time running in London and so he lost a lot of energy in the wrong places running alone.

”Jake has been running at a strong and steady pace as always and in this marathon, he can't find many athletes running at the same pace as him, plus this is Jake's first time running in London so he may not get a good one time and win.”

”That's right, these are problems he doesn't normally encounter running in America and Jake comes from a tiring season of over 35 basketball games and may not have the stamina to finish this marathon in a good time in today's marathon.”

Jake and Eva's friends were also watching this marathon to follow Jake's marathon and had the same concerns that commentators had, everyone was worried that the same thing happened in New York and Jake finishes the hurting race.

Only Coach Davis and Zack who accompanied Jake's daily training were quiet watching the marathon and not caring what the commentators said, Jake ran a greater distance than this one day faster after the games, so it was. It was impossible that he could not bear to run in London.

Jake wasn't worried about any of this either and just ran quietly trying to do everything he could to keep going well, what happened in New York was many years ago and since then Jake had a lot more stats and had no problem finishing a race like this same with all the odds.

But Jake was already thinking as he ran that he probably wouldn't race in London again for many years, maybe many years later he could race again, but after earning the rewards of the system if he won this marathon he would rather keep running in America.

After passing the 25km race Jake was already leading this race and those running in front of Jake before had already lost a lot of stamina and we're getting further behind during the marathon.
