"This may be the key to Jake's success in marathons, so others learned from him and decided to accompany him in that squad until the end of the marathon."
"Yes, but this is just one of the things that makes Jake the best marathoner today, few can keep up with him for more than 30 km, and if they try recklessly they may not even finish the marathon."
"That's true, the stamina and stamina he has also determine how he can win several marathons in a row."
Just as the commentators were saying the reason Jake didn't mind having several people running with him was that his running speed was too strong, keeping his pace steady was important to a marathoner.
But having his own running pace that matched his abilities was the most important thing, Jake didn't have to strain to run like this, but those who ran with him in the same platoon had to strain to keep up.
This group also did not disturb Jake in the support stations to get water and also took turns leading the group without Jake having to lead once, Jake just slowed the race in the most difficult parts, so everyone won with that.
After 15 km of the marathon as in Chicago, Jake's platoon was again leading the race, many rushed ahead of them for a few kilometers, but no one could stay in the lead for more than 15 km.
"This is really amazing, it looks like I'm seeing a repeat of the Chicago Marathon, after 15 kilometers Jake's platoon leads again, and everyone looks like they're in good shape and can continue."
"Their race time is almost the same as Chicago too, so Jake always runs at a high level, unlike last race also the runners who are with Jake are all elite and all finish at least thirtieth as the best time they have done, one of them even came in the eighth position in a marathon."
"True, it may then be that they can continue with Jake for more than 18 km like last time."
Just like in Chicago, this was the second time Jake had run in New York, even though he hadn't won this marathon last year, he still remembered the ride, so he did a marathon imagination training and knew the best places to run without getting tired so much.
Even if it didn't make much difference to Jake who had enough stamina to run 50 kilometers, it was the effort he could make to ensure the best race possible, who made the most of it were the other runners who were in the same platoon as Jake.
After passing the 22km more than half of the marathon had passed and only at that point did the Jake platoon decide to move away and run at a slower pace, which greatly benefited Jake who didn't have to race against the wind for more than half of the test.
Unfortunately, the weather and temperature were not ideal as it was in Chicago, yet Jake felt he could try to break his own world record in this race, he would not do it just because it was not smart to try so hard.
After all, he already had the marathon world record and it made no sense to break his own record, and after winning the New York marathon he would earn 2 more stats, 1 Resistance, and 1 agility.
That meant that next year Jake would be even better off running if he could win a few more major marathons he could break a world record much more easily, so he had no reason to risk injuring himself to win.
After going through the 30km race Jake wasn't feeling too tired yet, but still decided to slow down his race to make sure that this race was over, Jake was thinking of trying to run a little longer than in Chicago for this marathon.
"It's really amazing how much he can run at the same pace and speed for 30 km, there may never be a runner who has this kind of control over his pace, some may be faster than him, but this control is hard to break."
"That's true, and we can see that he doesn't even take a watch for the race, that is to say, he keeps that pace with intuition, now we see that he's slowing down his running pace."
"It's already become a habit of Jake in the marathons he runs, he keeps a pace well below the world record for much of the marathon and then slows in the final kilometers of the race."
"He was expected to do something like this, Jake doesn't seem to be trying to break the world record today either, it's normal because his body must not have fully recovered from the Chicago marathon."
"We hope he doesn't get any injuries like last year and can win this marathon."
"He's now called Captain America, a hero doesn't hurt running Hahaha."
"Hahaha it's true, I liked that nickname, if he wins here in New York this year he will also find that nickname suits him."
No marathon expert doubted Jake's ability to win a marathon anymore, commentators were only apprehensive because they were afraid Jake would be injured again.
There have been several big names in the sport of having a kind of curse to run in one place and not being able to win, some soccer players with the world cup, some baseball players with the world series, and some athletes with the Olympics.
Jake naturally didn't believe that and knew that the reason he lost in New York last year was his wrong preparation and his psychological problem, but today everything was perfect for him to win this time.
After just missing the 42km race Jake was near the end of the race and his condition was great, he was just a little tired but still thought he could run another 10 km quietly.
"And Jake is reaching the final stretch of this New York marathon, he's really winning again this year, this is the fourth marathon he wins in 1996 that will be a historic year for the world of athletics."
"It's really amazing, Jake is still young at 17 and doesn't have the problems that some older professional runners have, after a few weeks of breaking the world record in Chicago he's winning again here in New York."
"Now we can see that what happened last year here was just an accident and a piece of bad luck for Jake, yet he doesn't seem to mind it and is winning again."
"There you go, Captain America Jake crosses the finish line and wins the New York Marathon in 1996."
"And with very good time too, he ran this marathon in 2 hours, 6 minutes and 55 seconds, he broke the record of this marathon that belonged to Juma Ikangaa from Tanzania which was established in 1989 with the time of 2 hours, 8 minutes. and 1 second."
"This year was really special for Jake and for the whole American sport, he broke the records of all the marathons he has run this year, and it looks like he's still holding on, see how he doesn't even look tired after running today."
"He should just protect his body by doing that, that's right for someone his age, see Jake's fan posters again saying Captain America, it looks like that nickname really got it."
"It's great to see young people taking an interest in marathons, Jake can be important to that as he is young too."
Jake was very happy to win again, he wasn't really tired just as the commentator noticed, it had been several months since he needed to eat a stamina bar that he got from the system.
So he had a lot more than 100 saved again, he always did his 3-point shooter training and so several times got the reward of doing a thousand 3-point shoots, in basketball games he didn't need to either.
But he didn't know what it would be like after joining the NBA, he knew a basketball game could tire as much as a marathon, so if he had to play several times a week and still do daily training running 50 km he could need to eat a stamina bar.
The 14 other marathon runners who ran with Jake in a large part of the marathon were also in the top 50, it seems that in the upcoming marathons other runners would consider doing the same, in fact, some were among the first.
Jake waved to the fans shouting his name, he was happy to know that he already had fans after just 2 years running, he was happy to win this marathon because he lost last year, so it was like taking revenge on him.
Of course with last year's defeat he learned a lot of things he was doing wrong and so he could win every other marathon he ran, but he would rather not learn anything if he had to lose for it, Jake learned that he hated to lose.
After a few minutes, he went to the podium and received $ 125,000, $ 100 for winning and $ 25,000 for breaking the marathon record, $ 275,000 in less than a month running in two marathons, which was just under 1 month he received sponsorship.
After Jake went to talk to John who had been waiting for him all this time, John was smiling as usual and didn't seem to mind appearing in all of Jake's marathons, his company made a lot of money this year with Jake being his sponsored athlete.
Even if next year Jake wasn't going to have any marathon competitions to run, they would still win big just because he existed, Jake didn't even have to participate in any marathon next year.
And John still knew that the good part hadn't even started, when Jake started playing basketball at university games on the Tar Heels team that was the same team as the legendary Michael Jordan, that would be big publicity for them.
If Jake could win the NCAA Tournament and the ACC Tournament would be even better for them, winning it all John learned not to be so greedy and even sharing advertising exactly with the other sponsors.
So he inadvertently ended up earning a little more of Jake's goodwill who saw it after the marathon, Jake was most grateful to John who always organized Jake's marathon stakes and showed up in all competitions and didn't take all the credit for the race his company.
