The London Marathon as usual delivering the goods,with Kenyan (where else?) Wilson Kipsang running a swift 2.04.44 and dominating a stellar field.Best bit was the sprint finish for second place between Lel and Kebede. Awesome!

Mo Farah seems to be improving with age...here he breaks Nick Rose's longstanding Indoor 5000 m. British Record with a fine run of 13.10.60, breaking the European Indoor Record in the process.A good race with his training partner,US athlete Galen Rupp,who,in recording 13.11.44 took Lagat's 5K US indoor record.

It's not often the USA,with it's seemingly endless supply of world class 400m runners, doesn't win the gold....for once (and probably only once!)an inspired British quartet of Black,Redmond,Regis and Akabusi get one over on them. Oh,and it was a cracking race,too!

In a famous event at the Australian National Championships of 1956,John Landy,the mile world record holder at the time,stops mid race to see if a fallen Ron Clarke (future multi world record breaker) is okay.On finding out he's fine,Landy takes off and wins the race! If the sayng that "actions speak louder than words" to determine a persons character is true,then Landy is both a true sportsman and one helluva good guy! Respect.

Radcliffe's finest moment....

With defending champion Kipchoge taking on no less than 3 Olympic Champions (Bekele:5/10K,Kiprop:1500m,Kipruto:3K Steeplechase)this race was a mouthwatering prospect! It was rather a surprise,therefore, to see Bekele and Kipchoge battling it out for 11th place!!The race was dominated by a brilliant run from the young Kenyan Asbel Kiprop ,winning in style.Middle distance fans this side of the pond will be cheered to see British hope Jonny Hay outkicking Brimin Kipruto for a fine second place.

After a couple of poor ,injury stricken seasons, Bekele turns on the magic once again to record the fastest 10K of 2011 (26.43.16),pushed all the way home by Rotich in a marvellous PB (26.43..98) and US runner Rupp,who finally gets to beat Solinsky's American record with a fine run of 26.48.0.Helluva great race right at the very end of the season at the always impressive Ivo Van Damme Memorial.

Ugandan Moses Kipsiro,having won the 5000 earlier in the week,attempts to become the first athlete to do the magic 5/10 double in over 70 years of Empire/Commonwealth Games (the last man to do this was Cecil Matthews of New Zealand,who won the 3 and 6 Mile events in Sydney,Australia in 1938).

Also in the field was former Olympic champion Valeri Borzov trying to win his fourth straight European 100 metre title. He finished last ,in what was to be his last appearence at a major championship.

A blistering finish by Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge put paid to Mo Farah taking a win in front of his home crowd,running an impressive personal best of 8.07.39 in this indoors 2 miles race.He also left Moses Kipsiro and Tariku Bekele(Kenenisa's kid brother) in his wake.Farah with an 8.08.07 at least had the pleasure of breaking Emiel Putteman's European(and former world) indoor record which had stood at 8.13.2 for an astonishing 39 years!

When Foster was good,he was brilliant! This was one of the best,if not the best ,of his runs.Pity he never quite found this form in Olympic years...here he destroys the great Lasse Viren,amongst others,and humidity apart would almost certainly have broken the world record.

The closing 1000 metres (sorry,I don't have the opening lap) of one of the greatest 1500 metres races ever - both Cram and Aouita knocking a second off of Ovett's 2 year old world record. Of 1985 Cram recently commented he could of "beaten Shergar" that season,but in this race he only won by a whisker!

Probably Coe's best non-championship run....it was over one and a half seconds faster than the next best 800 metre runner of the time and stood as a world record for 16 years. As of writing this,close on three decades later,this still puts Coe down as the third fastest two lapper of all time.It's a pity he lost so much of his later career to virus's,etc. Who knows what kind of times he could have achieved?

Just 0.02 of a second seperated gold medalist Mark Muttai of Kenya (who proves Kenya don't just turn out middle and long distance runners)and Sean Wroe of Australia,with less than three quarters of a second between first and last place.
