Ran the Giants Causeway xtreme marathon on Saturday past. It was my tenth marathon and by far the most challenging.

Few friends did the ultra also, top drawer stuff. that's a difficult but beautiful run

Mageean through to the final - brilliant stuff. I doubt she'll be anywhere near a medal but final a great achievement.

Hassan will win it and she's up to her neck in it

There was some shock in the Stadium when Naser won the 400 metres well ahead of the favourite.

No one would say it but you get the impression there is a lot to suspect about her performance.

Mageean will be well beat by Hassan in the final too who is probably up to her neck in it

Athletics not in a good shape. Coe not the man for the job at all. Just like a Tory he is too fond of the money

Anyone else going to watch the sub 2hr attempt tomorrow?
Will be live on YouTube.

Just something I noted recently...

Ran a mile on the treadmill, wasn't sprinting like a mad eejit, but at a good pace. Think I did around 9 minutes. And just realised yer man Bannister must have been going at a mental speed when he broke the 4 minute mile.

I'm sure someone's done it faster since. Anyone know the current mile record?

[imtommygunn]

A mere 3:43...

I have broke 5 a few times a good while ago but suspect BM does that in most races lol.

9km to go and he is 10 seconds under the target. Looks like he is gonna do it.

[laoislad]

1:59:40 
Unreal.

[Milltown Row2]

Getting under 4 hours is a decent target! This is something else

[grounded]

Just incredible. It looked effortless for him. He has such a relaxed fluid running style. Great to be alive to see this.

[Denn Forever]

A happier result than the first Marathon. Less than 2 hours. WOW.

Some level of fitness there, pacemakers make a big difference to keep you going.

[Square Ball]

What a run, average pace of 13.1 mph🤯
