1981 and 82 Highlights London Marathon from BBC video

zero

and the seven

four is my favorite

I Finished after JPR Williams but before a certain discredited nasty Celeb.

Where's the actual start of the tape?

I'm in there somewhere, eventually 1,992nd I think. Other than the days on which my two kids were born, still the best day of my life. Six months training with no injuries and no missed days and completing in a time a quarter of an hour faster than I had planned. 3.13.55.

Why no Kenyans

Too many whites

A tie. Weak

How to lose weight?







Run the London marathon

I remember watching this first time around, great runs by the leaders but boy the cars and shoes look old, shame about Saville at full creep mode.

At the end of this video we can see the BBC Video closing ident with the marching band fanfare and a copyright datestamp for 1982, followed by the blank tape fuzz.
