Summary

It was not so long ago running fans thought a sub-two hour marathon in race conditions was impossible but two runners in the London Marathon have done exactly that. Kenyan runner Sebastian Sawe has set a new world record and in turn has shocked the world finishing the distance in 1.59.30. Who is Sawe and will his incredible achievement spur on others to try and chase him down? Featured: Jess Stenson, Commonwealth Games gold medallist in the marathon.
