It still does not feel real.Rich and Lucy break down how the race unfolded, from a controlled first half to the unbelievable surge in the final stages that completely rewrote what we thought was possible. The question now is how much further can this go and are we on the edge of seeing 1:58.On the women’s side Tigst Assefa delivers a world class performance, taking the win and setting a new women’s only world record in a race that shifted from fast early pacing into a tactical battle before a decisive finish.The episode also covers the British performances, with standout runs from Mohamed Mohamed and Patrick Dever leading the way, alongside strong showings across both the elite field and mass race.Along the way, Rich and Lucy get into the impact of the latest super shoes, the debate around a potential two day London Marathon, the reality of debuting over 26.2 miles, and why this weekend might mark a turning point for the sport.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
