The indictment, which was unsealed Thursday, involves an allegation that Assange promised to help Chelsea Manning, who was then in the US Army, to gain access to classified materials.

Research shows that elite runners add an average of 90 seconds to their overall pace; the average athletes who run other marathons to qualify for Boston often struggle to set a personal record. The Boston course is designed in such a way that it creates a lot of drag.
