A woman has run 2:11:53 for the marathon - that's equivalent to a 3:56.21 mile according to WA - which seems shocking but Rojo tells you why it may not really be that crazy if you think about it.

The last 14 months have been tumultuous for Hasay, from losing coach Alberto Salazar to DNFing Chicago to finishing a hobbled 26th at the Olympic Trials. Find out here what new coach Paula Radcliffe is expecting from Hasy on Sunday.

Eighteen years ago, the three men who held the marathon WR from 1999 to 2011 - Geb, Tergat and Khannouchi - sparred on the streets of London in an epic race and Paula Radcliffe announced herself as a marathon star. It was the marathon's greatest day.

We break down Mary Cain and her allegations vs Alberto Salazar and the NOP.

Eliud Kipchoge went sub 2 in the marathon, Paula Radcliffe's world record was destroyed by Brigid Kosgei, and 10 Americans went sub 2:12. We make sense of it all.

"The longer it’s gone on, obviously, the more attached I’ve become to it," Radcliffe said, who added that she would not trade her record for Olympic gold, which eluded her in her career. "And it’s started feel a little bit like part of the family. But it’s inevitable it’s going to get beaten at some point." *MB: Paula Radcliffe's WR could go down this weekend, what questions would you like us to ask her this weekend? 

This will be the first time since Paula Radcliffe set her 2:15:25 WR in 2003 that London has used male pacers for the women's race.

Mary Keitany and Tirunesh Dibaba, two of the greatest women's distance runners in history will chase the greatest women's distance world record on Sunday. Can they possibly break Paula Radcliffe's 2:15:25?

When Keitany ran the 2:17:01 women's only WR last year, she was on pace to break 2:15:25 at halfway, but had to run the second half of the race solo when her pacer fell back.

Running history was made today when the greatest field assembled in women's marathoning history battled against each other. Mary Keitany ran the fastest marathon ever in an women's only race and she did so in mind-boggling fashion as she ran the first half more than a minute faster than any woman in history. Tirunesh Dibaba had a historic run as well, putting herself third on the all-time list in 2:17:56. On the American front, Laura Thweatt had a super impressive run, taking almost 3-minutes off her PB to finish sixth in 2:25:38. *MB: Laura Thweatt 2:25:38 in London, #7 all-time US

There was talk at the London press conference of Paula Radcliffe's 2:17:42 "all-women" WR as the pacemakers are targettign a 69-min first half.

Thirteen years ago yesterday, Radcliffe ran her still standing WR of 2:15:25. At the time, Chicago race director Carey Pinkowski put it well by saying, "She's like Neil Armstrong."
