“Worth a mention of the Berlin Marathon if you are covering athletics I think,” writes Ben Tuff. “Unless it is London, we seem to so under-appreciate these epic events. No WR today because of the heat but Sawe won it at a canter. Great to see Akasaki in second, albeit four mins back. Wanjiru was a long way off her WR but much closer race for the women.

Also, some crazy people have been running around Battersea track in the Self Transcendence 24-hour Track Race for the last 23 hours and 42mins. The leader, Julien Cazorta, has completed 234km so far…”

Goodness me, that is absurd. And the men’s marathon final in this competition – judged by photo-finish – was one of most mind-boggling things I’ve seen this year.
