4.45 for mile 24. Nuts. The two are matching each other stride for stride.

Same for the women. Amazing finish ahead.

At 40km, 3 seconds off WR.

2.03.45 winning time. 20 odd seconds of wr. Kimetto takes it.

$75,000 bonus for course record. Nice.

Great running from the lads so far. Was worried that RFR might have pushed it too early but seems to be still going very well.

That would make sense alright since there was no talk of him racing. Still a bit disappointing as he was on for a NR

Some run from Jeptoo! Have never seen anyone win a marathon, and have enough energy to jump around the place celebrating afterwards! 2:19:59.

Hope the lads are still doing ok?

RFR slowing down a little through 35k but nothing too dramatic. 6.30 pace as opposed to 6.22 pace for the previous two 5k splits. Just got to keep that up for another 7k. Give it socks.

Blockic and Belcarra keeping a steady pace through 35 and 30k resepctively. On for 2.57 and 3.16. Peckham a little slower through 35k. Now on for 2.56. Hopefully a minor blip and he'll pick it up for the last few miles.

That's the thing about the marathon though isn't it. You can't sing too loudly till the final 196 metres. We were spoiled a little by the KC and KU show in London.

Quick update as I've had too many beers and have more on the way.

PB central here. Hopeful of good result in team competition.

Delighted with my own result. Was pacing well, but couldn't hold it together. Thought it got a bit hot towards the end. Maybe I've reached my peak, but that's fine with me.

Blockic joined me at 25 miles and had visions of out-kicking him, but he was moving forward whilst I was going backwards. Am beating him on pints at the moment as he's currently asleep in his hotel. Young folk of today, no endurance.

Great report Peckham.

Got around in 2:57:10, a new pb by almost 7 mins, pretty happy with that considering I'm approaching one of my final bdays in my 30's.

Loved the city and the course and conditions were perfect for a pb. Might have gone slightly faster in hindsight but a longterm ambition achieved by going sub 3.

Have an entry for Dublin and considering whether I should run it....was disappointed to miss out on my hometown marathon last year by picking up an injury with two weeks to go.
