Having googled London marathon results, I was interested to learn that the women's world record has been set no fewer than five times at London :

Grete Waitz in 1983 at 2:25:29

Ingrid Kristiansen in 1985 at 2:21:06

Paula Radcliffe in 2003 at 2:15:25 (mixed marathon running and still the lady's course record)

Paula Radcliffe in 2005 at 2:17:42 (women only running)

Mary Keitany in 2017 at 2:17:01 (women only running)

Great summary of the state of marathon and distance events, Ed. I hope you’re well - and maybe see you on the streets of London on 21st?
