Wayyy to go Paula!

It's 23 years to the day since Paula Radcliffe ran 2:15:25 at the London Marathon, which lasted as the world record for 16 years.

Radcliffe produced splits of 68:02/67:23 and she was the fastest British marathon runner – male or female – in 2003.

She won the race by over four minutes to Kenya's Catherine Ndereba, who clocked 2:19:55.

😘 Love a croissant 🥐

The relationship between running and pastry is well established.

For Harry Styles, however, it’s pastry first, run second. In his recent interview with Haruki Murakami, our May cover star said his pre-run fuel of choice is ‘the biggest croissant I can find’.

I’m going to get this photo framed, signed and put on Daphnes wall… these are the sort of role models our girls should be looking up to.

Utterly incredible night of athletics. 3 gold medals in less than 30 minutes!

Incredible! 👊🏼

When BBC presenter and marathoner Sophie Raworth lines up at parkrun, she already knows how it will go – within minutes, her friend Alice Riddell-Webster will be out front.

At 58, Alice has just run 2:56:37 at the Abingdon Marathon and, days later, gone sub-20 for 5K – still chasing a marathon PB she set 30 years ago.

Raworth shares what it’s like trying to keep up – and how Alice trains to stay this fast.
