How exciting

It took me that long to do a HALF and it almost killed me (1:46)

That was 30 years ago

It was such an unseasonably warm day for the marathon. It must’ve been tough for all the Japan-based runners who were training through the winter to suddenly have to run the big one on such a warm day.

Yep, to beat the winner here, you have to run 100m in 17.5 seconds, four hundred and twenty odd times in a row. You have to be very fit to just keep up for a few hundred meters.

38, 000 Marathon runners is a huge number. Congratulations to winners and challengers of the Tokyo Marathon. Well done Tadese Takele, Sutume Asefa Kebede, Deresa Geleta, Vincent Kipkemoi Ngetich, Winfridah Moraa Moseti, and Hawi Feysa.
