At the moment, it is raining records and best times among the top athletes. For example, Kenenisa Bekele’s old world record in the 10,000 metres was cracked. Joshua Cheptegei broke it with a time of 26:11.00 minutes. Two weeks ago, Melat Kejeta won silver at the half-marathon world championship, spectacularly beating the German record. But what about the amateur athletes and the age group aces? They also want to show what they are made of.
