    Had signed up to the virtual but won't be doing it. Anyone know if I'll still get the t-shirt?

    From the email it looks like the medal is for completing. Don't care about a medal but would like a tshirt

    You will have from 00:00:00 BST until 23:59:59 BST to complete your 26.2 miles and claim your 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon finisher's medal (we'll send this to you next week).

    They said previously that you only get the medal/tshirt for completing.

    Not sure how much checking they will do outside of the gfa/ Championship runners though. Leave the phone with the app running on your windowsill for a few hours from midnight, see how many miles you have logged by the morning, if you still need more distance by the evening strap the phone to the dog and get them to run around the garden for a bit.

    Install a free vpn on your laptop e.g. windscribe and watch it on the bbc player

    They will sometimes stream things through the BBC News website that don't have the same geo restrictions on as via their iplayer. As they have people running worldwide they might not block it, but no telling.

    What an incredible run by her. Shame she didn't make it in the trials.

    Rough day everywhere in UK and Ireland for the virtual runners.
    One good decision organizers made was to have it all within the 24hr period.

    DCM giving people 3 days is a bit unfair considering the weather could be much better from one day to the next.

    Scullion 2:09:49. NR!
    Correction: I guess Treacy's 2:09:15 from Boston is still NR eligible, so Scullion misses by 34 seconds, to a favourable course.

    I kept rewinding cause I thought I must have missed it. Very frustrating. Super run.

    Very petty coverage from the BBC of the Northern Ireland born athlete. Nothing for over half an hour of coverage before the finish. No excuse on such a small lap with multiple camera locations

    Then switched away from the finishing line coverage. We got glimpses of the two athletes who finished right in front of him. It was almost like he was a non entity in the race.

    Anyway, rant aside. Fantastic run which looks like it was himself on his own for large parts. (Going by the online splits).
