    Cracking men's race, nearly as good as the Boards crew running

    If yer man with the moustache man handled me the way he's doing it to the athletes at the finish, I'd shove the big red towel down his throat. :)

    Very impressive finish by Kebede. Much slower second half, some of the guys really came of the pace. Not sure what to make of Mo's race. Steve Cram still claiming Paul Pollock is running for GB, looks like he could be under 2:15

    Yes 3.57.xx I'm nearly sure. She's getting steadily faster hopefully she'll smash her Dublin time.

    Targetting sub 3.50 and should be very close

    The men's race was skewed by having farah in it, 61 vs 64 isn't the best way to run a marathon.

    That's the first time Meno has gone into the 22's for a 5k split... Hopefully back to normal on the next one

    Don't think Farah had a bearing on that to be honest. Pacers were told 2.03.30 but went out in 2.03 flat and the initial pace was what did the damage. Field was set up to bring the WR back to London

    Pollock 2.17.10. Suffered in the last few km. Initial fast pace probably did a bit of damage

    Deadly stuff from the boys. I bet they're hurting but they'll be passing everyone. I'd say they're enjoying this. Beautiful pacing

    Defintely time for RQ, MS and Meno to dig in, splits at 35k will be crucial

    Robin showing solid pacing and on track for sub-2:55, but doesn't have much margin for error.

    The leaderboard on the official site is way wrong. I believe Pollock came home in 2.17.0x and he's not up in the top 20 ........
