Great run from Hawkins in the marathon overnight. I don’t think there was ever a chance of him getting a medal, but he’ll have scared a few people on the way in his attempt to avoid a sprint finish.

I think that the Olympics will have a stronger field though, as quite a few of the top runners skipped this race in favour of Berlin. A top 5 finish should be the target.

If only Lynsey Sharp had been around in those days - she’d have managed to get rid of her.

Word is a pair of custom Nike shoes could be worth as much as 6% efficiency gain over the next best pair. They’re not even available to all Nike contract athletes, let alone anyone else, so they’ve not been validated beyond the rumour mill though.

Absolutely blown my mind that a pair of trainers can make you that much faster though unless they’re really springy or something
