    Abhainn running consistently at 2:36:25 pace.
    RR at 2:39:30 pace.


    Lelisa (former DCM winner), Kipsang and Kirui clear on WR pace.
    Makau dropped out!

    Keitany is clear for a probable win.

    The boards lads through 20k: Robin slighly slower 10-15k split: hopefully next split will stabilise.

    Abhainns in great shape to meet his target and in with a great shout of sub 2:36. RR on target with all to play for.

    Keitany home and dry.

    Kipsang clear..looking imperious

    ASfter 30k: Abainn on for 35:30 RR for 2:38:30
    Slighly slower 5k splits for both but it was a slow split for the leader also.

    Next 5k is vital.

    Just 10 secs each slower that split which is excellent. Theyll be digging deep now.
    Village going steady. Robin slowling a little....not far now though.

    Kipsang should break record

    Kirui, Lelisa tiring badly. Lilesa may be caught for 3rd by Kedebe

    Lel is with Kebede!!!!

    Kipsang wins: misses record by 3 secs!

    Kirui is dying...now in 4rd. Lilesa also. Kebeda or Lel for 2nd. Sprint finish.....Lel is a legend!

    This puts Geoffrey Mutai back in the picture...maybe even Mosop.....

    robinph also slowing towards the 30k split. Projected finish drops to 2:56, which would still be a great 3 minute PB so long as he can hold out.

    Those long steady runs with no water and energy will kick in for Abhainn now. He'll have the energy and looks like hell have the legs.

    RR is having a blinder. They can smell the finish now.

    Edit| 40k: sub 2|:36 and 2:39 still on for both lads. A finsih around tehse times will be two savage runs

    He's through 40k. 2:27:58, for a predicted 2:36:05.
    Very little can stop him now, from attaining a superb result and massive PB.

    Id imagine thats a better performance than his Berlin PB (looking at the splits). He knows how to squeeze the best from himself: a serious sub 2:30 effort must be on the horizon.

    Unlikely.
    Cracknell finished in 2:59, and I think Robin is on f0r 3:07+.

    Nell McAndrew running 2:54 at age 38 is a really fantastic performance (previous PB 3:08), for a former super-model.

    Thanks lads. I can assure you that did not feel like a jog. Can't believe I've ran that time I was in trouble early on. Amazing what a few HTFU can do ;) Legs are fcuked now, they've ran a time that they haven't trained for recently. Will take a while to recover from this. In the meantime I'm about to crack open my second can of fosters, on the knacker in her majestys garden with Robin at the moment :)

    Fair play to Abhainn. Savage time. Got what his training deserves. He's doing great things for the elderly ;) I know I'm opening myself to abuse but I couldn't resist :)

    Hmm can you be both happy & disappointed at the same time with a result? Was aiming for 2:52ish & was well ahead of target 'til the last 10k when the muscle on my right thigh began to seize up. Final 5k was particularly torturous even coming to the finish my brain was screaming "Sprint!" but my leg was having none of it :) Ended up just ducking under 2:55 for a new pb.

    That's a new one on me, maybe the pace was too fast or maybe it was the alignment of the planets, who knows!

    Still no complaints, it was a lovely day, the atmosphere was just fantastic and just about to head in the direction of town now for a few beers :)
