Actually, it wasn’t the winner who broke the record (in 2011 the winner did it in 2:13, not sure what the actual record is), it was the marathon that broke a record in terms of numbers of runners participating. The article is phrased badly.
Haha I guess running is the only topic on which I have any background knowledge! (I better have some knowledge, given the absurd amount of time I spend running, analyzing my training, reading running magazines and books, reading running blogs and websites, shopping for running shoes and clothes, racing…)

Daisy, if this blog ever spins off a marathon desk, you have a job. Thanks!
