Could a marathon ever be run in under two hours?

If it can it certainly won't be done by me. Under 4 hours is my goal! Anyway the BBC attempts an answer

A couple of running links

It's a while since I last posted but it's not that I haven't been running just not writing about it. In fact I've done two 7 mile runs in the last 24 hours, so there. But here are a couple of friends thoughts on running

• Matt Hosier reflects on the life benefits from training for the Brighton marathon
• Sean Green recently did a 5k in Reading with the park run initiative.
