Wonderful. Thank you. This was my first ever marathon, back when I was 18 and some months. I ran in 3:16, I believe, but I really cannot remember for sure. I remember the energy drink was hideous, a powdered mix, but by the time the race was over, I was looking forward to it ... although maybe that drink was introduced the next time I did it, in 1987. Found out yesterday I am in the race in 2021, some 36 years later.
I ran my first ever race against Steve Jones, the Rhymney Valley Half Marathon, back in 1984. He obviously won it, in 1hr 2min 15sec, but i was not far behind, in a time of 1hr 44min 8sec
The commentators were pretty disrespectful of Steve Jones. He was always the class of this field. He was an absolute beast in the marathon. His 2-07 PB was in basic shoes and nutritional supplements, its still the second fastest ever run by UK athlete almost 40 years later 🤯. He could run 2-03-2-04 in todays running technology I have no doubt.
I believe it's 1:56:50 The camera conveniently cuts away at that moment too and then returns 8 seconds later, after Jonesy has relieved himself. Incredibly quick crap, but he was a fast guy I guess.
the elite woman runner wearing the number F 13 at the starting line 6:08/3:14:26 I really like her fancy and chic yellow running shorts or bun huggers.

He would have still been the British record holder at the least.
Basically Steve jones had a bout of the shits
Malcolm Simmons big time!!!!!
Rob Castella had it running down his legs when he won the Marathon in Brisbane
Olin tässä juoksussa !
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is the time marker when Steve Jones takes a crap in the tunnel?
As I remember he squatted and took a big shit and then carried on and won.
It was late on, commentator said he was adjusting his shorts !
I believe it's 1:56:50

When people were a lot more honest no matter how cringeworthy ppl in 2020s might ‘feel’.. Let’s stop looking for something take offence of.
Without the East Africans, the marathon is boring.
Why don't you move there race traitor?
What a weird idea
