Getting ridiculous not starting until 10:00. Glad I don't do it anymore, When they moved the start from 9.30 to 9.45 it was too late. Paris starts at 8 I think, New York 7, we have the peak finish time 14:30-15:00 and it's always baking hot.
Probably wise for him to not go off like a rocket with the first group and then blow up. Imagine today he wants to see more where he stands in the pecking order of marathon runners than trying to turn up like Billy big time and try win it against a top class field.
Top 5 would probably be an excellent result for him.
You have to take your hat off to Brendan Foster, who after decades, can still cover over twenty-six miles, without shutting his mouth once, with Steve Cram coming in a close second..
Helen Skelton, one of the BBC's pointless dolly-bird, "presenters" entertained the viewers, by doing her usual Sue Pollard impression, before she set off this morning.

Phenomenal achievement. 86 and 89 years old. How your legs hold out that many years is incredible.
Some of those guys will blow up so Mo has a great chance of top 5 just by holding form.

Of course she is, that's why she's got her job at the BBC.
