Being shown live on Universal Sports Network. Dish and Directv subscribers should be able to get it. They're showing Rottderdam too.

For those in the US without bbc or universal sports on their tv but want to see streaming. Heres how to watch it on BBC. I just tried it.

Firefox users, download

Than once installed, it will be on the top right of browser.

Go to this website...

If it says only for people in the UK. Than click on the Hola add-on at the top right and click on the UK flag. It changes your IP.

Than takes you to the main bbc page. scroll down to the right where it says iplayer. Find the BBC One live stream (where the marathon will be played on) and you can now watch it no problem.

Enjoy.

What than?

You need to go back to BBC One at 330am EST to watch the Marathon. Its not on now. You can go to BBC One to try it out and make sure it allows you to watch it now to test it.

Thanks for starting this. I'll leave it open and refresh in the morning to avoid spoilers.

Just some B-vites in his supplement. He'll be golden, as always.

The color of the urine was somewhere between Goldenrod and Mustard. Could be a sign of early dehydration.

Zenmate VPN for chrome gives better bandwidth.

livetv.sx as always will have a bunch of links, including sopcasts if any. A well-attended sopcast is by far the best streaming option.

Interesting about the splits for the two groups. 61:45 if evenly split is 2:03:30. With $55,000 for winning and $125,000 for being first and taking the world record and $100,000 for sub 2:05-ing, you could very well have several athletes in the final two or few k, really hammering the snot out of it.

The world record is 2:03:23, yes? They have it listed as 2:03:59.

Anyway, there are several who are capable under the right circumstances to take the world record if they set the pace up well. $125,000 is a lot to forgo in comparison to just the course record of $25,000....someone has got to want that money.

So therefore Renato is correct about one thing, there should be three or more running 2:03-something.

Mo is the toughest one to call because he hasn't excelled yet in the half, but saying that, neither did Bekele and Bekele did okay in Paris under circumstances that were not as advantageous towards fast times, like a course that is not as fast, no/less competition....

For some reason, when I stream on an ipad I get video but no sound. Any suggestions? It's great to watch the race but would be a lot better to hear the commentary.

mo has consumed his final TUE

is taking his adrenaline shot

Private Internet Access is the king of VPNs.

But why make it hard?

Yes, well they tried that last time and the whole group fell apart, with the last-man-standing winning it and nothing close to 2:03/WR. And the field was about as good as this year, and the conditions were not bad.

2:03 is not all that easy to do; hope they do it, but expecting 2:04 unless they go too hard, then 2:05-low.

Women are starting. Gelana, Dibaba, Kiplagat, Jeptoo all looking good and smiling.

The bib numbers are huge on those women!

Here are the target 5K splits for the two pace groups in the men's race. Will be interesting to see how close they stick to them.
