Both men and women looks like a nice battle, they will be competing for place and not for time.

56:45 for Kipchoge
almost 2min30 faster
Someone is going to make a big push after the 25th!!
World record was never on
62:14 halfway
Prediction: Bashir Abdi FTW, Bekele third.
It looks like Bekele is comfortable.
2:03 high for the win.
A long, long, long way to go.
Predicting 2:05:32 for Bekele
I think Brett Robinson's on here. Not sure about the national record but definitely a sub 2:10
Stop comparing the two. Even Kipchoge cannot break the WR in London.
Great race unfolding at the women's and the men's marathon!
I somehow like that it is a bit slower as it might play into the hands of Bekele Bekele - he should at least be able to finish ok and might be motivated to take another swing.
I know then he's 40+, but he should at least be able to get back one more time to 2:03.
Butchart holds the Scottish records for the 3,000 , the 5,000 and the 10,000. He might be going for the Scottish marathon record as well.
Yehualaw trips up and loses a few secons and energy catching back up
This is when the race will start.

Bekele is now at the back of the lead group

Oh no. We needed eyes on this. He's still looking at his watch.
Bekele’s fallen to the back.
