“A smile is what actually ignites my mind to forget about the pain. That’s the beauty of a smile.”
Eliud Kipchoge
Eliud Kipchoge's above quote goes right along with what Alex Hutchinson, author of Endure, shares in this article in OutsideOnline: Smiling Makes You a More Efficient Runner

A look at form in the London Marathon by Jae Gruenke of The Balanced Runner
Runner's World looks at Kipchoge's win in the men's race as well as Cheruiyot's win in the women's race. If there was any questions that Kipchoge is the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in the marathon this should take those questions away. Check out his personal bests (PBs) and you will see he is fast from 1500m to the Marathon. Here is another article that asks if he is the GOAT. Toni Reavis wrote on this with regards to the marathon requiring both speed and endurance
Toni Reavis also looks at London and asks the questions with regards to Racing or Pacing. I get his point and personally would rather see a race but I don't think it would not have mattered with regards to who won as Kipchoge would win either way.
And here is Athletics Weekly's look at the London Men's race and Women's Race as well as looking at what's next for Moe Farah

Masters Running News
A talk with Gordy Ainsleigh after his finish at the Umstead 100 - at 70 he ran 29:05:47
At 43 Gary O'Hanlon ran 2:18:53 in winning the Dublin marathon last October and in the process winning the Irish title. His win earned him place on the national team, with a stipulation that he go sub 2:18 in the qualifying period, so he was looking to do so at London but was only able to go 2:21:14
