The Marathon, the distance that still puzzles and intrigues most, as well as attracting the most media and public attention. The distance that legends are based upon, from the greats who ran it Emil Zatopek to Carlos Lopes as well as Frank Shorter who surely ignited the running boom in America with his great win in the 1972 Olympic marathon. The development from Jim Peters the first sub 2Hr 20min to the now world best time of Haile Gebrselassie, 2Hr 03min 59sec.
We shall be rebuilding the complete Time-to-Run portal, so will be adding to the marathon section over time.
