Any excuse for the beeb to show Farah's races again. Gonna try and do this race next year. Watch the flyover at the start, its class.

I've said it before, but I love the look on Farah's face as he's running the last 100m of the 10,000m and 5000m in Daegu.

Might be a good place to add this here as well. BBC Two will have live coverage of the Berlin Marathon from 7.45am next Sunday. I don't know if it's just me but I can't wait to see it!

Little late to the party (racing this morning and refused to come onto boards until I watched the race recording so I knew the result)

Great race by Makau his break on Geb was a fantastic move. Gutted for Geb as he was running so well up until his stop.

Also Good to see Radcliffe perform well and looked to be enjoying that I reckon she will be alot better prepared for London in terms of few build up races

Sensation debut from Overall. Breaking your HM PB en route to your Debut marathon is a fantastic result

Fantastic run by him, but of course his high ranking benefited from all but one of the early leaders burning themselves out on world record pace.

I realised that I have no clue about the male British racing scene at all. I can't remember ever hearing his name before.

The British women's names, on the other hand, I know very well (maybe because most of them have been around for ages.)

Scratch that seems to be focused on fencing and tennis.
