@mverley Me neither!

@d9monti @tandfn I don't think I've ever seen "marathon" used as a verb like this before

Sabastian Sawe gets the cover of the May issue of @tandfn -

@greyzabelFC Jim was a notoriously hard trainer and told me he often ran three times a day. However, I'm not sure anybody could measure their weekly mileage accurately in those days, long before GPS watches came along.

@Jason_AW There’s no way he ever actually ran 213 miles in a week lol. It’s like saying that Babe Ruth hit 600 foot home runs

Older runners often struggle with heart issues caused by years of extreme training. ❤️‍🩹 Super shoes are allowing athletes to train harder than ever, but can our hearts cope? athleticsweekly.com/news/from-jim-…

@Cathal_Dennehy Kentucky Derby produces a 'from the depths of hell moment' ...

Long before Sabastian Sawe's exploits in London, Jim Alder set a world best in the 'two-hour run' in Walton. The Morpeth Harrier covered 23.6 miles in a pair of Dunlop Red Flash trainers on a cinder track and won the Commonwealth title two years later. athleticsweekly.com/news/from-jim-…

Marius Bakken's brilliant new book on the Norwegian Method not only explains notorious 'double threshold' sessions in detail but concepts like muscle tone, golden zones, X-sessions and more. Review via @athleticsweekly ➡️ athleticsweekly.com/performance/ma…

As well as multiple articles in @athleticsweekly, I suggested in @BritishGQ back in 2017 that the sub-2hr marathon was very much possible. ➡️ gq-magazine.co.uk/article/the-2-…

Stanley Baker believed the sub-2hr marathon was possible more than half a century ago in the Michael Winner movie "The Games". See here ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=SZrKLx…

A fine day for British marathon men on the streets of London but the gulf between them and the world's best just got even bigger. athleticsweekly.com/news/britains-…

The sub-2hr marathon has been described as “impossible” over the years by esteemed scientists and top-class ex-athletes. They said the same about the sub-4min mile. athleticsweekly.com/news/opinion/s…

What a day for adidas. Its new Adizero Adios Pro 3 was worn by sub-2hr marathons Sabastian Sawe and Yomif Kejelcha plus women's winner Tigist Assefa. More on the super-shoe here ➡️ athleticsweekly.com/performance/pr…

With adidas super-shoes on his feet and dozens of negative drugs tests under his belt, Sabastian Sawe sped to 1:59:30 for the marathon in London. athleticsweekly.com/news/sub-2hr-m…

They said it couldn't be done but Sabastian Sawe has smashed the two-hour barrier for the marathon in London with 1:59:30 🔥🔥🔥 Faster than Eliud Kipchoge's time trial sub-2hr from 2019 too. Full coverage coming soon on the @athleticsweekly website.

The Mini London Marathon goes from strength to strength and it'll be interesting to see if anyone from the 'class of 2026' reaches the highest level as a senior athlete. Wrap-up report from Saturday's event ⬇️ athleticsweekly.com/news/mini-mara…

In 1978 @athleticsweekly featured junior winner Mick Morton on its cover after the World Cross in Glasgow, but alongside him was relative unknown Said Aouita, who set off too fast and faded to 34th but went on to break multiple world records.

The Euro Cross news ends months of speculation as it was clear last autumn that a number of British cities, most notably Cardiff, were in the race to stage this prestigious event.

The last time Glasgow held a major international cross-country champs, winners included John Treacy, Grete Waitz & junior one-hit wonder Mick Morton, all played out in wet & windy weather. Now the venue is set to stage next year's Euro Cross. athleticsweekly.com/news/meetings/…

London Marathon at the double in 2027? But event director Hugh Brasher insists it will definitely be a one-off, even if it's a huge success. athleticsweekly.com/news/london-ma…

50 years. 5 lessons. 26.2 miles of wisdom. Must-read for runners in London on Sunday 👇 athleticsweekly.com/news/5-lessons…

Another British-born marathon runner called Hicks making his mark after moving to the USA. Thomas Hicks was born in Birmingham 150 years ago before emigrating and winning the Olympic marathon at St. Louis in 1904, having finished second in Boston earlier in the year. Could history repeat itself with Charles Hicks at LA28?
