What our friends say...

Fantastic preview of the London field over at letsrun.com:

"How can 2009 possibly match last year's record-breaking race? Well, take this for a lineup: the reigning Olympic champion, the reigning world champion, the first four from last year's London epic, four of the first five from the Olympic Games, a former double world champion, the world bronze medallist, and the fourth, fifth, sixth, 12th, 13th and 14th quickest men of all time."

Steve Cram:

"There are many others to consider, but the man who intrigues me the most is a debutant, Zersenay Tadese from Eritrea."

Paula Radcliff:

“Women are generally better organised and more consistent. You might see the guys start off a bit faster and probably running at a quicker pace, but they're fair-weather runners. If the rain or snow comes in, the guys are going to bottle out.”

Meb and Ritz:

"Is that 2:07:30 pace group Dave Bedford mentioned where you think you'll be finding yourselves?
Yeah, definitely."

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...
