“Bring it on. It’s cool to see these times becoming a thing of the past. I feel 2:05 means nothing as an American now.” _clayton_young_ discusses going after the US marathon record of 2:04:43, held by his training partner and close friend Conner Mantz, in Chicago next month. Young’s PB is 2:05:41 and he will tune up for that mission at Sunday’s Great North Run. Speaking in Newcastle at the Brooks Run Club event from brooksrunning and startfitnessuk he talked about being a part of the rapidly changing face of distance running. 🎙️ crumleye #marathon #breakingrecords #gnr2026 #chicagomarathon
