improve his running. This also made economic sense for the runner: "In the US, one needs to work alongside training to survive because it’s too expensive, especially in New York, and I wanted to focus on my training". Chemlany had three marathon outings in 2010 and his times were again improved: he ran 2:13:23 horus for sixth at the Tiberias Marathon and in April won his first race with a time of 2:13:10 at the Dalian Marathon. H was also runner-up at the Macau Marathon at the end of the year. A run of 2:10:02 was enough to win the 2011 Tiberias Marathon and he retained his title in Dalian. Given his performances, he was invited to run as a pacemaker for the top level 2011 Berlin Marathon. Initially tasked with leading runners up to the 30 km mark at world record pace, he continued after that point. The winner Patrick Makau broke the world record and Chemlany was next to finish, recording a significant improvement upon his past times with a run of 2:07:55 hours. He ended the year with a win at the Macau Marathon. His two races in 2012 did not match the performances of the previous year as he was fifth at the Rotterdam Marathon and seventh at the Shanghai Marathon (slower than two hours, ten minutes on both occasions). His 2013 began with a better outing, as he was third at the Rome Marathon in 2:08:30 hours. A new personal best of 2:07:44 hours came at the 2013 Berlin Marathon, although the race was even faster in that year as the world record was broken by Wilson Kipsang and Chemlany's time was enough for fourth only. He reached the podium again at the Shanghai Marathon, coming third. The Seoul International Marathon in March 2014 was a venue for further improvement, to 2:06:24 hours, and he was runner-up to Ethiopia's Yacob Jarso.
