The new World Marathon record holder Patrick Makau says he’s satisfied with his season that winning the World Marathon Majors title “will just be a bonus” to him. Makau moved to the top of the
WMM Series standings with 60 points after he shattered Haile Gebrselassie’s 2008 World record by 21 seconds with a new time of 2:03:38 at Berlin Marathon on Sunday. The victory saw Makau haul 25 points, adding to the 15 he picked up when he finished third in London in April. By the time he was running in Berlin, he had 35 points. The 26-year-old relegated London Marathon champion Emmanuel Mutai to second place with 55 points as Ethiopian Tsegaye Kebede dropped third with 41, one better than Boston Marathon champion, Geoffrey Mutai.
