John Korir After Winning The 2025 Boston Marathon In 2:04:45 Despite Falling At The Start + What’s Next (The World Record?!)

John Korir After Winning The 2025 Boston Marathon In 2:04:45 Despite Falling At The Start + What’s Next (The World Record?!)

"What do we need to do to win Boston? We said, 'Be patient from the start and then at 20 miles, make a move.' We were good and we made it."

After taking a fall right off the starting line, John Korir regrouped, surged at mile 20 with a jaw-dropping 4:41 split, and never looked back — crossing the line in 2:04:45, the second-fastest time in Boston Marathon history. With the win, he joins his brother Wesley on the list of Boston champions — and might’ve just stepped to the front of the global marathon stage.

Korir has now won Chicago and Boston – both in dominant fashion and since Kelvin Kiptum’s tragic passing and Eliud Kipchoge’s regression, he’s making an strong case as the best marathoner on the planet right now.

In today’s episode, we talk about that savage 21st mile, what it means to carry the Korir family legacy forward and whether a world record attempt might be the next big move.
