In this episode of the Marathon Handbook Podcast, we break down the 2025 Berlin Marathon (02:10), starting with Sebastian Sawe’s extraordinary victory (05:00) despite brutal heat and tough conditions. We compare his run to Kelvin Kiptum’s world record and Eliud Kipchoge’s Berlin performances (10:20), then analyze the impact of race timing and weather (15:00). The women’s race brought late drama as Rosemary Wanjiru held off a furious charge (20:10). We also discuss pacing strategies and etiquette (26:30), Berlin’s future as a fast marathon (30:00), and how influencer coverage shifted this year (34:30). Finally, we preview Chicago Marathon and our upcoming mailbag episode (36:50).
