When the record was in sight, though not guaranteed over the final 6 miles, students were once again brought to the gym to watch the possible record unfold while ultrarunning-legendThough he slowed a bit at times over the last 10 miles, Mendoza knew he had it in the bag with a mile to go. As the treadmill hit the 50K mark, he stopped at 2:59:03, put his legs on the side, and stayed there for a few minutes as the students around him went nuts.
“I don’t think the students realized how close it really was,” Mendoza said about beating Wardian’s record by 46 seconds. “I even tried to pick it up near the end to break 2:59, but my hamstrings started cramping and my legs couldn’t go anymore.”With this in the books, Mendoza is resting and also recovering from a bad cold he got two days after the event. He has invites to big races later in the year and hopes to decide on which ones he’ll do in the coming weeks.
Mendoza also mentioned that he did the run without a carbon-fiber plate, choosing to wear a soon-to-be-released“I was really proud because they don’t have a carbon plate,” he said. “All records are being broken with that, so these make me feel like I’m still having to work for it.”Drew covers a variety of subjects for Runner’s World and Bicycling, and he specializes in writing and editing human interest pieces while also covering health, wellness, gear, and fitness for the brand.
