It's a new global Guinness Book of World Records for a John Robbins marathon and you've got to be happy with that.
In the region of 4 hours 40 something, Guinness are just calibrating various photo finishes and timing sponsored by Rolex.
So I'm pleased.
I did actually meet the team from Guinness and they've given me verbal confirmation of a new John Robbins Marathon world record.
John, no world record, but you have to be happy with the win.
Yeah, I saw two guys going for sub two hours and I thought, you know what?
It's time for the next generation to come through.
So I beat them.
but let them have the world record by coming behind them, but I'd started earlier.
And that's how I'm going to navigate that question, because obviously reports are unconfirmed, still things have to be ratified by the IAAF, but yeah, I won.
I didn't get the world record, but two runners did get the world record, but that wasn't me, but I did still win.
Or, John, you are a failure.
You are a disgrace and you've let yourself down.
Yeah.
What would you like to say to the nation?
I have erred.
I shot for the moon and hit a Tesco Express.
I flew too close to the sun for about one kilometre and I thought it's very hot.
going to get away from the sun and i'm going to towards the end use a run walk technique that i then evolved on the fly into a walk walk technique and already talk in the international running scene is about the future of the walk walk technique for breaking barriers
