Faith Kipyegon aims to become the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes during an event in Paris, utilizing advanced gear and pacing strategies, in a historic bid to break a significant barrier in women's athletics.
Jake Albanez, a La Vista man, will attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest half-marathon run while wearing a graduation cap and gown at the Good Life Halfsy in Lincoln. Albanez, who recently graduated with a master's degree in marketing, hopes to finish under 1 hour, 29 minutes, 59 seconds. He has received approval from Guinness and must provide photos of his outfit at each mile during the race. Albanez's family will be there to support him, and he has already received positive reactions from fellow runners during test races.
