Ideal weather conditions help Jimmy Muindi, Lyubov Morgunova set records

 •  Kenyan's strategy pays off in historic fourth win  •  Russian breaks own mark in 'huge victory'
This year, Jimmy Muindi made history in more than one way. He won a record-setting fourth Honolulu Marathon, in 2 hours, 11 minutes, 12 seconds, shattering the race record by 31 seconds. Russia's Lyubov Morgunova, 33, planned to do away with her competition right from the start. With a blistering pace, she knocked exactly one minute off her record of 2:28:33 as she broke the tape in 2:27:33.
