Tigst Assefa crossed the finish line in 2:15:50, smashing the previous womenβs-only world record of 2:16:16 β set by Peres Jepchirchir in London just last year. β It was a moment of sheer dominance and redemption for Assefa, who captured silver in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics and had been eyeing a major win ever since.
Kenyaβs Sabastian Sawe delivered a masterclass in tactical racing and raw strength to win the 2025 TCS London Marathon, clocking a brilliant 2:02:27 and overpowering a stellar field that included legends like Eliud Kipchoge and rising stars such as Jacob Kiplimo.
In this guide, we will discuss heart rate training, specifically how heat and heart rate are related and how you may need to adjust your training when the air temperature rises.
Staying properly hydrated can enhance your running performanceβor derail it completely if you donβt get it right. β Too little, and youβre dragging through miles, dizzy, fatigued, and cramping. Too much, and youβre dealing with stomach slosh or, in extreme cases, hyponatremia (weβll get to this later).
