London Marathon 2016 - Official Thread

BBC now showing the "British women's race"

There are going to be some epic blowups today. 22:58 for 5 miles for the elite men!

All the elite races are getting covered on the red button. The main bbc feed is more general spectators

haha yeah... I actually just closed the live video, I cant stand Paula talking... Ill only deal with her if I can see the mens race ONLY... or atleast most of it

well at least we have you to thank for updates!

28:37 10K, 2:00:41 pace.

Maybe that's what Bekele was saying to Kipsang. That the pace is crazy.

I guess most of us dont have bbc....

Not sure what you are watching, there are multiple coverage sessions at the BBC. I'm watching the Elite coverage on the Red Button but there is also a mass coverage one too. There should be a link to the Elite coverage on the BBC website. It is alternating between wheelchair elite women and elite men.

Men thru 10k

Mile 1: 4:30

Mile 2: 4:44 (9:14)

Mile 3: 4:34 (13:48)

5k: 14:16

Mile 4: 4:38 (18:26)

Mile 5: 4:32 (22:58)

Mile 6: 4:39 (27:37)

10K: 28:37 (14:21) Nine men plus two rabbits.

Marcel Hug won men's wheelchair race

THANK YOU! found it

Bekele saw a man on a bike on the road behind them and was asking Kipsang if he saw him also. That is why they are on world record pace.
