On that occasion he ran 2:08:21 to break the English use record but that time is far from the ceiling of his ambition.
The multiple Olympic and world champion says he is learning about his new discipline, a process which will continue in the UK capital when he comes up against a field containing two of the fastest marathon runners in history – Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge and Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia run,world record-holder Paula Radcliffe. “Then I still had the track, I didn’t want to lose the speed and I had that at the back of my mind.
“This time Gary and I have had a good stopwatch running, we’ve planned everything and the aim is just to go hard at it and see what we can do.
“It’s been difficult at times, in terms of putting in the miles and the work but I’ve really enjoyed it. It’s something where I get up in the morning and I look forward to it.”
The running slightly longer-term aim is another shot at an Olympic medal in Tokyo 2020 and the 35-year-old feels his improvements will come gradually.

“I think I first broke 13 minutes record for 5000m in Zurich in 2010 and from then until I finished on the track I’ve been improving step by step. I think it’s going to be the same with the marathon.

“If I’m going to come away with a medal from Tokyo then, each year, if I can use run two marathons that would give me good confidence and I can learn about myself – the things you can do and can’t do. That’s why I had a great track career – I learned how to win races, put off the opposition and be strong mentally and physically.
“I think, in the marathon, physically I am strong and mentally I have to start practicing.
“I don’t think Sunday’s race is going to be like a championships. I think it’s going to be incredible.”
“The aim is to go after the British record 2:07:13 for sure but, at the same time, in my mind since 2014 until now I’ve learned more and understand a lot more. We’ll see what happens.
That has been evident in the past two showpiece marathons, with surprises being sprung in the almost apocalyptic conditions of Boston, while Callum Hawkins’ struggle in the heat of the Commonwealth Games, when he collapsed while leading and within 2km of the finish, disturbed many. The delay in the Scot receiving medical attention has been the source of much comment.
We have a load of advice for runners ready and waiting use to go, it just depends on how we shape it with regards to what the predicitions are. The first email on that will go to runners on Thursday and if there needs to be follow-ups on that then there will be. It’s Britain, the weather changes.
