And certainly if you're running for a couple of hours, you would.

But, you know, he had no effects whatsoever because of this gel helps protect the stomach, but also give you those carbs that you need when you're running to burn fuel.

Yeah, I mean, Salah will probably run in Berlin in September.

He did last year, but it was very, very hot, so he didn't break the world record then.

But that is a considerably quicker course than London, maybe even a minute, maybe a touch more.

So if he's in the same physical shape, it's certainly possible that we'd get some more off.

Obviously, at some point, there is a limit, and the human body can only go so fast.

But we're not there yet.

No, you're absolutely right.

I think all of us, it's only human really to sort of embrace technology and want to go a little bit quicker.

Before the race, I even spoke to the oldest man running the London Marathon this year, Harry Newton, who's 88.

And he happened to mention that he bought a pair of what they called Sockany Endorphin Elite 2s.

And now they retail for £280.

Now he did tell me he got them on sale.

But regardless, an 88-year-old guy who was aiming for six or seven hours still wanted to run in one of the fastest shoes in the world.

And I think that tells you a lot about us all, really.

Yeah, no, I think you look at the world record for the marathon, if you go back a decade, and it is just under 2.03, the big changes have been the shoes and the gels that people take.

That's the change.

Now, clearly, when we talk about running and Kenyans, inevitably, you have to talk about drugs testing and doping.

The one thing that is sort of reassuring is before this marathon, also before we ran in Berlin, Salway's sponsors, Adidas, gave the athletics and temperatures unit $50,000.
