London Marathon 2019 (28th April)

Going through the half way point just inside 1 hour 23 minutes, Eddie Newman knew he was on for a good finish in the London Marathon on Sunday morning 28th April, which took place in cool dry conditions, a little windy in places, but otherwise perfect for running a marathon. Keeping focused on the task, Eddie pushed on to finish in 2 hours 49 minutes 18 seconds, just outside the top one thousand places of the more than forty thousand that finished the race, an incredible entry and marking London as one of the most popular city marathons in the World. This is the fifteenth time in succession that Eddie has run a sub-three hour marathon, and the sixth time under 2 hours 50 minutes. It seems like a distant memory since he first broke through the 3 hour mark a few years ago and he seems to be getting better with age!
