OFFICIAL 2014 LONDON MARATHON UPDATE THREAD

Would have thought that at least Haile would be able to control himself...

Group2 ,mo and jeilan 27 seconds behind

5k

Haile et. al. 14:21 (2:01:06 pace)

Mo et. al 14:48 (2:04:54 pace)

Women are on 2:17 pace or so according to announcers

Setting up for a repeat of last year's bonkfest.

I can understand a quick mile, but how can these pacers, including Geb, be so useless as to run this much under pace?

Haile fckd this up big time. Mo doing his 5000/10000 looking around routine.

might be rcs wrote:

14:21 is 1:00:30 / 2:01:00 pace

What stupidity. Mo's chances are improving.

Any conspiracy theorists out there?? Seriously. Nike/Alberto pay them off. There was supposed to be a 30 seconde gap at 13.1 miles. There's nearly 30 seconds at 5k.

Anyone notice it kind of split up into 3 pace groups?

Haile is gonna win this thing and set a new WR!!!

Ana Dulce Felix always a pleasure to see.

21 Cabada, Fernando (USA) P Pacemaker

Thought I saw a familiar looking man in a pace kit early in the race.

Last year started in 14:26. First 5k always super fast, especially 3rd mile is downhill, maybe 1st as well (although 4:36 for mile 1 is silly in any case)

69:15 at the half for the women. Same group of 4.

mo farah looks so god damned clean in that uniform. the brits always have sick unis

29:11 at 10k. 29:56 for Mo

Now THIS is a pace group!
