Any other husband and wife teams close?
The list would be longer but the UK all-time list doesn't rank Gary above 3,000m.

Yobes and Lisa Ondieki have to have been among the fastest when they were married.
How about Mary Decker-Tabb and Ron Tabb when they were together?
Noureddine Morceli, former middle distance great (1:44, 2:13, 3:27, 3:44, 4:47, 7:25, 13:03), is married to a Swiss middle distance runner, Patrice Bieri...I think she has run in the low 2's (2:04?) for 800m.
DeReuck's.
Colleen and Darren are both quite fast...perhaps the fastest marathon times for a married couple.
Before (0r after?) Lisa O. was married to Yobes, she was ... Lisa Martin! As in married to Ken Martin. 2:23 'thon for her, 2:09 for him. Both pretty fast at other road distances.
Didn't sun 3:50 miler Thomas Wessinhage have a swift wife?
True. But I'll take Yobes' 26:5x over Ken's 2:09.
Obscure but a fast couple...Deb and Fred Torneden (maybe they are just the fastest Kansas Couple)
Deb...9:09 3K
Fred...2:11 marathon

Yeah, but they weren't married when they ran either of those times. Does that still count?
How about Ruth and Tom Wysoki?
Paul McMullen 1:45/3:33/3:54 and Jill McMullen 2:00.
Adam Goucher and Kara Goucher
13:11/7:34 and 15:28/ 8:54
Fastest couple in Boulder.
on the american side, i'll add myself and the hausers to the list, although not nearly comparable to the times of others listed above:
jeff delong 1:46.23
sarah (hamilton) delong 2:04
and
brad hauser 27:58
sally (glynn) hauser 4:12
I think all these couples are cheating. How about; runner marries non-runner and then makes good??
Runners with runners is kinda like kissing your sister.
ismail kirui and rose cheruiyot? i bought drugs from rose last week in eldoret - she's a pharmacist now (hmmmmm?) and i had to get something to purge the unwanted visitors from my innards - drank the water.
