Seeing as the marathon turned out to be shite, lets draw our attentions to something else...
I'll start, I never knew blind runners started before the real runners

GNR.....gets a thumbs up for the great organisation and coverage.
...and for having sting
What time does it start?
10:40.
Just started......in the womens race Jesica Augusto has run away from the field and has a big gap on the rest
Augusto is gunning for the womens HM world record.Tiz good to see Martin lel back on the roads running.
Nice day for it.... I don't understand why the course isn't a loop! It's a point to point race, starting at the coast and finishing 13miles inland!
How would you get your gear back? would they stick it all in a truck and bring it back to you? (never run a non-loop-course marathon)
Mens race is pretty swift.1st mile in 4.37.Group already down to 6/7.jackson koech,Lel and Faggan pushing the pace.
4 break...gebramariam,kiplimo,lel and gharib
Kiplimo was 2nd behind haile in the 1hr record attempt in hangelo.
Was Fagan hired to rabbit or is he just running like an idiot?
3 left....lel,gharib and kiplimo....mile 8 in 4.20.They are shifting.Jessica augusto of portugal is heading for victory in the womens.
There were no rabbits hired.
No he's just an idiot. He needs to learn how to run races, and Im sure he will someday
Gharib just stopped =/
Martin lel wins in 59.32
Kimutai Kiplimo 2nd in 59.38
Gharib 3rd
Outsider,
Just wondering what your pb is? Fagan has run 60.57. Is it not reasonable that he gives it a go to run with guys who are around or below 60.00? How else to you make progress. You are the idiot.
i think it was too hot today and obviously it affected some athletes more than other.lel has done well in the heat before so has gharib.But the likes of martin fagan it might have been a tough thing to do running in the heat.

With regards to point to point course. London Marathon is the same nowt strange about it. Place your gear in a truck and you receive it at the end
GNR is one of the best organised races there is
