| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our first Marathon Talk Extra, all about the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. |
| 0:07.0 | For this extra episode, I'm joined by Abbott World Marathon Major C.O. Danny Coyle, who's been watching the races all day, and Dina Kester, who's been lording it up all day in race hospitality in Chicago. |
| 0:19.0 | In all seriousness, Dina, you are live and direct from Chicago. |
| 0:23.7 | What a fantastic day of racing. So much to talk about. What actually have you been doing today? |
| 0:28.8 | Oh my gosh. Well, just like jumping up and down, getting sunburnt standing in the stadium by the |
| 0:35.8 | finish line and the sun was beating down. It started off |
| 0:39.8 | picture perfect this morning as far as temperatures go, but it heated up quite quickly, not just |
| 0:45.1 | in performance, but in temperature, I think it got up to 68 degrees right now, but the sun feels |

| 1:37.7 | in those final miles. Danny, you were watching here in the UK. And of course, Kip Limo didn't have it all his own way. It was John Corrie and him |
| 1:49.6 | who set off 1358 for the first 5K. I think they went through halfway, bang on inside world record |
| 1:56.9 | pace at around the 6016. That's pretty exciting stuff. Yeah, it was. And that halfway split, |
| 2:02.4 | that's when things got really interesting because it was quite surprising. At that point, |
