The Valencia Marathon has now become the go-to race for Britains elite men. No less than 23 guys were under 2:18 today- that's double what we had in London in April. Superlative running from Alex Yee with 2:06.38 and fab effort by Jonny Mellor who sets a pb days before he's 39.

George Couttie- 2nd in Euro u20 xc last year but injured in the summer- was a super tenth today in the NCAA xc and will hopefully be available for the Euro u23 xc next month as he would be a medal contender

So we have all the 100m races on one day at the next Olympics.. quite bizarre. A preliminary rd and then three more rounds for the elite. You can't imagine that many athletes would agree to this-- but then who was asked?

In readiness for Jazz Sawyers' crack at the Pentathlon during the indoor season I see that her PBs (many set ages ago) would score her a decent 4361 points. She was English schools pentathlon champ in 2009 and ninth in world under 18's before going to LJ.

Remarkable running this weekend from Sarah Webster, 46, from Sussex who wins the world 24 hour champs in France covering 173.127 miles! That's over 5 miles farther than the womens world record. Also, no British man has ever ran that far in one day๐Ÿ‘‹
