Dathan have enjoyed tremendous success over the last two years. He placed in the top 10 at both the last Olympic Marathon and the last Worlds 10000m. He went on to set an American Record in the 5000m and grab a Bronze medal at the 1/2 Marathon Championships.
Dathan returns to London for the sole purpose of improving on his PB of 2:10:00. HOW FAST do you think he will in London? Do you think he will also place Win, top 3, top 5?
